Questions to ask
What am I trying to achieve in this session or
presentation? What are its objectives?
Can the session objectives be achieved without
training aids?
Even through the objectives can without be achieved
without aids, will learning be made easier and /or
improved if the verbal presentation is supported?
Do the session objectives, content and style demand
the support of training aids?
Will training aids improve the presentation?
Which aids will be the most appropriate?
How many will I need?
Is it feasible to use the number on which I decide?
Have I the resources-time, staff support, finance-to
produce or obtain the aids?

Definition of Learning Objectives
A Learning Objectives:
Is a collection of words or symbols describing one of
your educational intents.
Describes an intended outcome of instruction, a
proposed change in a learner when he has
successfully completed a learning experience.
Describes an observable and measurable pattern of
behavior (performance) you want the learner to be
able to be to demonstrate.

9. 9
REASON FOR SETTING LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
To ensure that both the trainer and the trainees know what target is
expected through the training actively.
Trainer must know exactly where s/he is going, otherwise s/he may get
lost during the training session
Trainees must know where they are going ,Otherwise no know what is
expected of them.
Objectives help the trainer develop and conduct training that provides the
trainees with the knowledge and skills they need.
Objectives provide the trainees with a clear understanding of what will
expected to do as a result of training.
Objectives help both the trainer and trainee evaluate the learning that has
taken place through instruction.

10. 10
Types of Training Objectives
C= Cognitive
* Aspects related to knowledge and intelligence.
A= Affective
* Aspects related to attitudes and commitments.
P= Psychomotor
* Aspects related to knowledge and skills.
Examples:
C = Able to distinguish the characteristics of different nursery
seedlings.
A = Participate in the plantation activity with positive
attitudes.
P = Build-up capacity of grading nursery seedlings at the end of the
training.

11. 11

Checklist For Writing Learning Objectives.
1.Remember that “objectives”
refers to what the trainee is
expected to do and not to
what you are going to do.
“Objectives” describes trainee
behavior not trainer duties or
the learning process. Check
your objectives to make sure
they descried what trainees
will be to do when they have
mastered the skill.
02. .Make sure your objectives
identify expected trainee
performance verbs are not
ambiguous or the content
badly defined.
03. Do not use too many
objectives. You should have as
few objectives as possible,
and they should serve as clear
guidelines for your training.
04. Review your objectives to
make sure they include the
performance. And the
conditions and standers for
performance. Check to be
sure that the performance is
observable and measurable
and that it is a specific rather
than a general performance.
05. Write objectives in simple,
straightforward language.
Objectives which are too long,
use unnecessarily big words,
or try to cover too many
expected behaviors confuse
trainees. Check to make sure
your objectives communicate
well and cover one learning
outcome rather than several

WHY EVALUATION
Evaluation helps in assessing
The relevance of the training
objectives.
The accomplishment of the objectives.
The appropriateness of the training
methods and materials.

34. 34
Mentoring
Mentoring is a process by which a
experienced person who advises and
helps somebody with less experience
over a period of time.

35. 35
Coaching
Coaching is a Process of training
to do better or to improve a skill.
The process of giving student
extra teaching in a particular
subject.

36. 36
Model of Evaluation
There are two common models are being used
by the evaluation. These are:
Tylerian Model : Input output or objective
oriented model.
Stufflebeam’ s Improvement-oriented model or
CIPP model : Context, Input, Process, Product.

37. 37
Evaluation
The systematic assessment of worth and
merit of an object.
Formative Evaluation : The use of tests to
obtain feedback during the course of a
program rather than at its termination point.
Formative evaluation allows projects to be
modified and improved upon while they are in
progress
Summative Evaluation : A decision reached
near the end of a project that determines
whether it has been successful or not
;contrasted with formative evaluation.
 ----Stufflebeam

38. 38
PROJECT PROPOSAL WRITING
Basic Sections of a Proposal
Three major sections:
01.Introduction
* Tells what your project is about.
* Why the project is worth doing.
* why the project is a good topic for fulfilling the
objectives of the degree requirement
02. Literature Review (or Background)
* Tells what the state is of the project.
03. Procedure (Methodology)
* Lays out the method allow to complete the project
successfully
04. Budget
*Tells the utilization of the financial resource.

CURRICULUM
ILO defines the terms curriculum as ‘The
content of an organized program of study in an
educational or training institute indicating the
subjects, taught the time allocated to each and
their sequence. The curriculam then becomes
the plan which out lines the dimensions,
structure and elements of the training course.”
