The differences between learning aim and learning objectives:

1- the learning aim: is a general statement about the big goal ( long term goal) that i want to reach at the end of the lesson or the unit.

2- but the learning objectives: are the smallest steps that i will follow to achieve the big goal or we can say the learning objectives are short term goals that will be achieved during the session.

example for learning aim: by the end of the unit, the students will differentiate between the plants and animals.

example of learning objectives: by the end of the lesson, the students should list the parts of the plant. the students should compare between roots and stem according to their functions.

so the learning objectives are small steps to follow , they have to be SMART objectives and can be completed by the end of the session.

SMART objectives means:

• S – Specific: Clearly states what is to be achieved.
• M – Measurable: Can be assessed or quantified.
• A – Achievable: Realistic and possible for the learner.
• R – Relevant: Connected to the overall aim, curriculum, or real-life application.
• T – Time-bound: Has a clear timeframe or deadline for completion.

good job zina, i like the way that you explain the difference between the aim and objectives and how you apply an example showing how to be SMART.

i agree with you laila as i am a STEAM teacher and my lesson plans are depending on hands – on activities and the integration of technology in making our projects so i also prefer using the ASSURE model.
