Skills
and Training Required to Develop Instructional Goals & Objectives
to Teach Ice Skating
Goals are broad, generalized statements that describe what the purpose and aim of the instruction. A goal is the target that defines and describes what the learner should achieve in a course. The USFS Basic Skills program encourages its instructors to develop lesson plans to teach the specific tasks of each badge. Developing a lesson plan starts with writing the goals and objectives for each session of the semester. Refer to Moving Snow Plow Stop Lesson Plan. Every instructor/coach should review the
differences
in how learners acquire information:
Common
Types of Objectives
Psychomotor: Physical
skill - "The student will be able to
stroke around the perimeter of the rink without assistance or pause as
demonstrated by the instructor." The stroking is a demonstration of
fine motor skills. Refer to psychomotor
domain.
Cognitive: understandings, awareness, insights - "A student will be able to list and describe the four stages of a jump either verbally or in writing." or "The student will be able to discuss how Newton's laws apply to jumps in a verbal discussion or in writing a paper on the strengths and weaknesses of the application of his theories to skating." Advanced skaters should have the benefit of additional knowledge or information to assist them with their comprehension or conceptual understanding of Newton's Laws. Some may be able to demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge, the ability to analyze a situation, and the ability to apply the concepts to other skating situations. See also Blooms' Taxonomy. Affective: attitudes, appreciation, relationships (e.g., "Given the opportunity to work in a team with several specialists, the student will demonstrate an positive attitude and be able to benefit from different perspectives (choreographer, physical trainer, plus ballet and/or ballroom instructor." See also a detailed description of the affective domain.
The above list of objectives
provides a mnemonic aid, the ABCD's of objectives.

Overview
of Instructional Objectives
The instructional objectives of a lesson plan describe the author's
educational intent for the students - that is, the desired learning
outcomes.
Mager's Tips on Instructional Objectives Sept. 6, 1999. An instructional objective describes student performance. It avoids saying anything about instructor performance.
