Difference between Learning Aims and Learning Objectives:

•      Learning aims describe the board purpose or intention of the teaching what the teacher hopes learners will achieve in general terms. They are usually long-term and not directly measurable.
•     Learning Objective, on the other hand , are specific, measurable statements about what the learner will be able to do by the end of the lesson or activity. Objectives break the aim into steps and are often written using Bloom’s taxonomy action verbs.

Examples:

•    Learning Aim: To develop students’ ability to write effective persuasive essays.
•    Smart Learning Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to write 3- paragraph persuasive essay that includes a clear thesis statement, at least two supporting arguments, and appropriate linking words, scoring at least 70% according to the rubric.

I really like your SMART objective – it’s clear and achievable. It also links well to your aim.

Great explanation of the difference between aims and objectives. I like how you showed aims and objectives as measurable.

Great explanation. I agree that all three models are effective, but each one fits different contents. I like how the ASSURE model emphasized technology integration. Thank you for highlighting the difference.
