Writing Learning Objectives

All about Objectives


As a new Nursing Informaticist I was given the opportunity to teach staff nurses on how to use a new (EHR) that was going to be implemented in their hospital. I had so many emotions running through my head. I was excited but super nervous at the same time. Then I started thinking about it and decided to tackle this project head on. Since I've been in school for what seems like forever I knew I had to start off with the basics....OBJECTIVES!! This allows for the staff to be aware of what they are expected to learn in my course. Knowing this, I had to be sure my objectives were clear and get them excited and eager to participate in my course. In this blog I will be using Bloom's Taxonomy when providing my examples.

Bloom's Taxonomy



Step 1: Knowledge 


Objective: At the end of this course, the staff nurse will be able to define an EHR and give three examples of its benefits.



Step 2: Understanding 


Objective: At the end of this course, the staff nurse will be able to compare/contrast between paper and electronic based charting. 



Step 3: Application


Objective: At the end of this course, the staff nurse will be able to apply the techniques used by demonstrating how to access different part of the EHR.

    You did a great job on your blog. It looks very professional and easy to read. I was feeling that I had less visual opportunities with blogger.com than WordPress but am feeling it is my expertise as I view other blogs. I like the layout and images of Bloom's Taxonomy. I feel taxonomy is important as it goes through all the steps that also allow the student to demonstrate or explain what they have learned in the class. Missing one of the steps could mean that they cannot fully utilize the knowledge learned.
