behavioral performance-based objectives
Definition
- Behavioral performance-based objectives in curriculum refer to lesson objectives for students set by the teacher that are precise and observable, for example, “The student will demonstrate the ability to add integers where regrouping is needed.” Behavioral performance-based objectives have become increasingly important in the field of curriculum studies as teachers work with their students to demonstrate mastery of objectives in high-stakes testing. This type of objective became popular in the 1970s when behavioral science was at its peak and when B. F. Skinner, a prominent behavioral scientist, claimed that all human learning was a result of stimulus-response. [Source: Encyclopedia of Curriculum Studies; Behavioral Performance-Based Objectives]
