  1. ADescription of the skill, conditions, and criteria for acceptable performance

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. Description of the skill, conditions, and criteria for acceptable performance

A performance-based objective consists of three parts: a description of the desired behavior/skill, the conditions under which it will be performed, and the criteria (standards) for acceptable performance.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. These are teaching methods, not the components of an objective.
  • C. These are parts of a lesson presentation, not an objective's structure.
  • D. These are laws of learning, unrelated to objective structure.

Performance-Based Objectives

Statements that specify the desired learning outcome, including description, conditions, and criteria for successful performance.

  • Description = the skill/behavior expected
  • Conditions = circumstances of performance
  • Criteria = standard for acceptable results

Memory trick: DCC: Describe, Conditions, Criteria
