Mager's Three Parts
Captions available
The idea
Robert Mager's behavioral objective has three parts: an observable behavior, the conditions under which it is performed, and a criterion, the minimum acceptable level.
In practice
"Given a map, the student will label ten of the twelve state capitals."
Where people slip
Mager objectives suit short, fully specifiable skills; for large goals they become unwieldy.
