INTRODUCTION
Learning outcomes are descriptions of the
specific knowledge, skills, or expertise that
the learner will get from a learning activity,
such as a training session, seminar, course,
or program.
The learning outcomes focus more on
student performance rather than they do on
traditional techniques or courses
The most useful learning
outcomes include a verb that describes
an observable action, a description of
what the learner will be able to do
and under which conditions they will be
able to do it, and the performance
level they should be able to reach.
TYPES
OF
LEARNING
OUTCOMES
TYPES OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
1.INTELLECTUAL SKILLS
With
this
type
of
learning outcome, the
learner will understand
concepts,
rules
or
procedures. Put simply,
this is understanding
how to do something
TYPES OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
2.COGNITIVE STRATEGY
In this type of
learning
outcome,
the learner uses
personal strategies
to think, organize,
learn and behave.
TYPES OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
3.VERBAL INFORMATION
This type of learning
outcome is when the
learner is able to
definitively state what
they have learned from
an organized body of
knowledge.
TYPES OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
4. MOTOR SKILLS
This category is
concerned with the
physical ability to
perform actions,
achieving fluidity,
smoothness or proper
timing through practice.
TYPES OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
5. ATTITUDE
This is the internal state
that reflects in the
learner’s behavior. It is
complex to quantify but
can be shown in the
learner’s response to
people or situations.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF A
GOOD LEARNING
OUTCOMES
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Learning outcomes always use an action verb
- These outcomes are usually very specific and use verbs in particular,
which makes the expectation clear. It informs students of the standards
by which they will be assessed and ensures that student and teacher
goals in the course are aligned.
2. Learning outcomes must be written clearly, and
should be easy to understand
- All learning outcomes clearly indicate what the students should learn.
You can facilitate the understanding of your outcome statements through
clear and concise terms.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES
3.Learning outcomes should clearly indicate what learners should
learn from within the discipline they are studying.
-
Creating realistic outcomes may increase the chances of achieving the
learning program's goals and objectives. One way to achieve this is by
drafting a few outcomes to avoid overwhelming learners with information.
4. Learning outcomes help with assessment, and thus should
clearly indicate what success looks like for the learner.
- After drafting the outcome, you may edit and review it to ensure it's
accurate and follows other guidelines. Many instructors use the SMART
acronym to determine whether they have created effective outcomes for
learning

SPECIFIC: learning outcomes should address what the learner
will know or be able to do at the completion of the course
MEASURABLE: learning outcomes must indicate how learning
will be assessed
APPLICABLE: learning outcomes should emphasize ways in
which the learner is likely to use the knowledge or skills gained
REALISTIC: all learners who complete the activity or course
satisfactorily should be able to demonstrate the knowledge or
skills addressed in the outcome
TIME-BOUND: the learning outcome should set a deadline by
which the knowledge or skills should be acquired
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES
5. Learning outcomes must show what the expected
level of learning or understanding should be, and it
should be reasonable to the level of the learners.
- Make sure your assessments align with your learning
outcomes. If one of your outcomes is for students to be able
to analyze a case study, then your assessment should
include a case study analysis
Difference between
learning OUTCOME
and
learning OBJECTIVES
LEARNING OUTCOMES and LEARNING OBJECTIVES
A learning outcome describes the overall purpose or goal from
participation in an educational activity. Courses should be planned
with
a
measurable
learning
outcome
in
mind.
Objectives are used to organize specific topics or individual
learning activities to achieve the overall learning outcome.. The
learning outcome is a reflection of the desired
Example: SKELETAL SYSTEM
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. To gain knowledge and
understanding of the different
types of joints in the body, and
to learn their structure.
1. Describe the different types of
joint and the movements
allowed at each
1. To explain the movement
allowed of each joint in the
body, giving practical examples
of what movement is used
during specific actions.
2. Explain how joints move during

A
CLOSE LOOK
AT
STUDENT
LEARNING
OUTCOMES (SLO)

O
The student learning outcomes in the teacher
education program are the skills, competencies
and values that the students are expected to
demonstrate at the end of every course/ subject
which are in turn, integrated into the year-end
formation of students as they progress towards
becoming
professional
teachers.
Periodic assessment helps students determine their
strengths and deficiencies and become active
participants
in
outcome
attainment.
1. The institution’s mission statement is a relevant
source of student learning expectations. Public school
system mission or state school charter as source
of learning outcomes. Private schools are either
sectarian or non-sectarian and their mission may be
sourced from their respective religious goals, in the
case of on-sectarian schools
2. Policies on competencies and standards issued by
government education agencies such as the
Department of Education(DepEd), Technical Education
and Skills Development Authority( TESDA)and
Commission on Higher Education(CHED) are the
prescribed sources of student learning outcomes.
3. Expected competencies identified by the different
professions, business and industry should be adopted to
ensure that graduates are able to perform as expected
.
in their respective work places and/or professions.
4. The thrusts and development goals of the national
government are useful integration in the identified
competencies and expectations from all sectors of education
5. International trends and development should also be considered
in identifying and determining student learning outcomes to ensure
the graduates’ competitiveness in the employment and professional
practice abroad.
6. It will be enriching if the identified competencies and expectations of
students integrate the basic general education competencies such as
the following competencies listed by the Montgomery College”
CHARACTERISTICS
OF
A
GOOD
LEARNING
OUTCOMES
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Good student learning
outcomes
(SLO)
are
centered on the students,
on what the learners are
capable of doing, instead of
the teaching technique. The
teaching strategy will only
be guided by the desired
competencies
of
the
students.
2. Good learning outcomes
are based on the program
mission statement agreed
upon by the program
faculty in consultation with
other
stakeholders
like
alumni
and
other
professionals.
CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES
3. Good student
learning outcomes
are
very
well
understood by both
students
and
faculty.
4.
Good
learning
outcomes include a
spectrum of thinking
skills from simple to the
higher
order
of
application
of
knowledge and skills.
Here are suggested steps that teacher and students can together take in
their cooperative monitoring of the progress towards the desired learning
outcomes or skills and competencies.
H-ooking the students to the desired learning outcome
E-xploring and experiencing the supporting student
activities
A-pplying the ideas/ knowledge required in contrived, simulated or
real-life situations
R-efining, rehearsing, reviewing the target/skills/ competencies E
valuating the degree of learning outcome performance
D-eciding on the action, solution or creative project to apply the
learning outcome
