A learning outcome is what the instructor would like the student to have shown mastery in. It is the outcome of the learning or the result. So, if I want my students to take a source and utilize that source to prove their thesis statement then my outcome would be for students to use a source, paraphrase, summarize, and quote source material. The learning outcomes have a strong verb as to what action the student will take to complete that learning outcome. This verb will guide the students, and the teacher, into meeting the outcome.
The performance objective are the skills that I can actually see. It is the product the learner has used the verbs to create. So, my students will summarize, paraphrase, and quote. All verbs. The performance is what I want them to perform at or near. For my students, I need 100% accuracy in MLA formatting and writing skills. Any deviation from 100% would indicate that the student did not acquire the skill and therefore did not meet the learning objective or the performance outcome. With using sources in writing it’s an all or nothing outcome most of the time.
