Training Objectives
SEESIM 14
• Describes desired outcome of a training activity
• Based on essential tasks, and derived from joint doctrine,
SOPs, and Commander’s guidance
• Multiple training objectives may be prescribed for each task
UNCLASSIFIED
30
Training Objective Workshop Goals
SEESIM 14
• Derive Training Objectives from selected tasks by
identifying:
– Training Audiences (who must contribute to the
accomplishment of a task?)
– Fundamental activities and processes of each
Training Audience contributing to
accomplishment of a task (what must we do?)
– Stimuli that spur the Training Audience to act
(when must we respond?)
– Associated performance metrics ( e.g., how well /
often, etc. must we do it?)
– Methods to accomplish the training (how)
UNCLASSIFIED
31
How TO are Developed
SEESIM 14
•
•Ask....
.Who contributes to the accomplishment of the task?
(the potential Training Audience, which may have
multiple players)
– Do they do all of the task or only part?
– If only part, who else contributes?
• What processes do they do? (performance)
• What prompts them to do or affects them doing the
task? (training situation)
• What measures and criteria show task(s) completion?
(level of performance)
The combined answers equate to a Training Objective
UNCLASSIFIED
32
TO Workshop Goals
