Which element does the education objective convey in a lesson plan?

• A. What must be achieved
• B. How to grade
• C. The equipment needed
• D. The teacher's credentials

Answer: (A)

An education objective states what learners are expected to know or be able to do by the end of the lesson. It describes the specific outcomes the instruction is designed to achieve and serves as the target that guides what activities you plan and how you assess success. Grading methods describe how you measure performance, not what the learner should achieve. Equipment needed covers logistics for delivering the lesson, and the teacher's credentials don’t define the learning outcomes.
