Developing Learning Objectives
A good learning objective should describe for you, your faculty sponsor, and your site supervisor exactly, what you hope to learn through
your internship experience. Your learning objectives should be specific and measurable.
The assignments used to measure the learning objectives should be included under the Academic Assignment section of the learning
agreement.
Do not confuse Performance (what you will do) with Learning (what you want to learn from what you will be doing). When developing
learning objectives use adjectives like: learn, improve, analyze, develop, compare, and gain.
1. What knowledge, ideas, theories or concepts gained through coursework in your major or minor can be applied to your position?
2. What skills developed through your academic program can you utilize on the job?
3. What new knowledge or information do you expect to gain from your internship that will strengthen your academic program?
4. What new skills will you develop through the experience which will contribute to the successful completion of your academic program?
5. What information will you be able to obtain regarding professional fields and the demands of these fields?
6. How do you expect the experience to affect your personal and emotional growth?Learning Objective Examples
