Magers Approach of writing objectives in behavioural terms

Mager’s Approach of writing objectives in behavioural terms This approach was founded by Robert Mager (1962 ). Mager has focused mainly on cognitive and affective aspects. Mager has discussed 3 criteria which should satisfy every terminal behaviour. Ø Specific performance of the child. Ø The condition under which this performance is expected. Ø The minimum acceptable level of performance.
