Behavioral Objectives
100

This term refers to the specialized vocabulary, grammar, and discourse used in academic settings.


Academic Language

100

 This is the highest level of Bloom’s Taxonomy, where learners use information to create something new.

Create

100

This type of feedback focuses on providing information about what was done well or needs improvement.

General Feedback

100

This instructional technique provides temporary support to help students achieve a task they couldn’t do independently.

Scaffolding

100

A behavioral objective clearly defines what the learner will be able to do by the end of a lesson. This part of the objective specifies the desired action.

Behavior

200

When encountering a bolded word in a textbook, where can students usually find its definition?

Glossary

200

At this level, students demonstrate their ability to recall facts and basic concepts.

Remember

200

This type of feedback directly relates to the learning objective and helps guide the student toward improvement. 

Specific Feedback

200

This element of scaffolding captures student interest and activates prior knowledge at the beginning of a lesson.

Hook

200

 In a behavioral objective, this component describes the situation or context in which the behavior will occur.

Condition

300

This strategy helps students frame their responses using academic language by providing a partially completed sentence.

Sentence Stems

300

When a student uses information to solve a real-world problem, they are operating at this level.

Apply

300

When feedback matches the task and the learning goal, it is considered this type of feedback.

Congruent Feedback

300

This scaffolding strategy helps students connect new information to what they already know.

Link

300

 A well-written behavioral objective should include this element to indicate how well the student must perform the task.

Criterion

400

 A visual aid that displays important academic vocabulary with definitions and examples to reinforce learning.

Word wall

400

Breaking down information into parts to explore relationships and patterns occurs at this level. 

Analyze

400

This type of feedback focuses on identifying errors and suggesting ways to correct them.

Corrective Feedback

400

In this scaffolding approach, the teacher models first, then works with students before allowing them to work independently()I Do, We Do, You Do).

Gradual Release

400

 In the statement, “Students will correctly identify three types of ecosystems after reading a passage,” which part describes the behavior?

Correctly identify three types of ecosystems

500

When a teacher asks students to explain a science concept using terms like “hypothesis” and “experiment,” they are encouraging the use of this type of language.

Academic Vocabulary

500

 When a student makes a judgment or forms an opinion based on evidence, they are engaging in this level of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Evaluate

500

 When feedback does not align with the task or learning objective, it is known as this.

Incongruent Feedback

500

When a teacher asks guiding questions, gives hints, or provides sentence stems to help students think critically, they are using this type of scaffolding.

Cognitive Scaffoding

500

Behavioral objectives help guide lesson planning by providing a clear roadmap for this aspect of teaching
