Adequacy of performance is achieved by practicing.
Category Examples, key words (verbs), and technologies for learning (activities) Mechanism (basic proficiency): Examples: Use a personal computer. Repair a leaking faucet. Drive a car. This is the intermediate stage in learning a complex skill. Learned responses have become habitual and the movements can be performed with some confidence and proficiency. Key Words: assembles, calibrates, constructs, dismantles, displays, fastens, fixes, grinds, heats, manipulates, measures, mends, mixes, organizes, sketches.
Category Examples, key words (verbs), and technologies for learning (activities) Complex Overt Response (Expert): Examples: Maneuvers a car into a tight parallel parking spot. Operates a computer quickly and accurately. Displays competence while playing the piano. The skillful performance of motor acts that involve complex movement patterns. Proficiency is indicated by a quick, accurate, and highly coordinated performance, requiring a minimum of energy. This category includes performing without hesitation, and automatic performance. For example, players are often utter sounds of satisfaction or expletives as soon as they hit a tennis ball or throw a football, because they can tell by the feel of the act what the result will produce. Key Words: assembles, builds, calibrates, constructs, dismantles, displays, fastens, fixes, grinds, heats, manipulates, measures, mends, mixes, organizes, sketches.
Category Examples, key words (verbs), and technologies for learning (activities) Adaptation: Examples: Responds effectively to unexpected experiences. Modifies Skills are well instruction to meet the needs of developed and the individual can modify the learners.

• **Remember that the trick in effectively planning lessons — there has to be the intention for growth specifically in the selected domain area! • Learning takes place in ALL 3 domains and wise teachers combine domains so that lessons and learning are more holistic and multidimensional.
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. ” — Dr. Seuss.
Writing Objectives Five basic elements: • Who • Will do • How much (how well) • Of what • By when?
Writing Objectives Use words that are specific and unequivocal for objectives • Example: Each third year medical student (who) will demonstrate (will do) the appropriate technique for a lumbar puncture procedure (what) once (how often) meeting criteria on check list as judged by a trained observer (how well) by the end of their neurology rotation (when).
Objectives fall into 3 domains Cognitive – ranges from factual knowledge to higher levels of function such as problem Solving and clinical decision making Affective (attitudinal) – attitudes, values, beliefs, biases, emotions and role expectations Psychomotor – skill or behavioral objectives ( hx taking, PE, interpersonal communication, record keeping, procedures)
