Understanding the Learning Goal

Before you can decide how to teach, you need to be clear on what you’re trying to achieve. This lesson helps you define your learning goal—whether you’re aiming to build knowledge, develop a skill, shift behaviors, or encourage a new mindset. You’ll learn why setting the right goal is the first step to creating an effective learning experience.

Key Takeaways

Clear Learning Goal

  • Every learning experience should have a clear, intentional goal.

  • Learning goals typically fall into one (or more) of four categories: Knowledge, Skill, Behavior, or Mindset.

  • The type of goal you choose shapes how learning should be delivered.

Learning Goal Categories

 

  • Teaching knowledge requires clear, digestible content.

  • Teaching skills requires time and space for practice.

  • Teaching behaviors requires real-world scenarios and feedback.

  • Teaching mindsets requires space for reflection and connection.

 

Why Does It Matter?

The clearer your goal, the easier it is to choose the right learning format later.
