Summary

Congratulations! You have completed this tutorial on the relationship of the three phases of the Dick and Carey instructional design model to process of writing effective performance objectives. We learned a little bit about the history of instructional systems design models, introduced the Dick and Carey model as one of the more prominent models, briefly described the first three phases, and in more depth, described the fourth stage of the model - Writing performance objectives.

However, you still have one more activity to complete. You now have the knowledge of what it takes to write performance objectives - now you need some practice! Complete the activity below and submit your work according to the specifications.

Activity (10 points)

Using all the information you have acquired from this tutorial, it is now time to write performance objectives describing exactly what it is you want your learners to be able to do when they complete your instruction. Because we only briefly reviewed the first few phases of the Dick and Carey model, I do not expect you to understand how to complete those stages.

However, you should be able to break down a simple instructional goal(s) into a set of performance objectives. For example, you might try to break down the conditions, criteria, and performances related to simple computer tasks, like opening and closing files or searching the Internet for a research paper. Provide five example performance objectives that have each of the components related to your instructional goal.

Write your performance objectives in an RTF/DOC file, and submit them by MM/DD/YYYY at 11pm. Late work will not be accepted :-) You will be grade according to the following criteria:

Each objective contains three components (2-points each): performance, conditions and criteria. 
  1. Performance component includes action verbs. 
  2. Condition component includes appropriate resources to learner.
  3. Criteria are observable measures.
