Notes:
Objections to behavioral objectives
- they only emphasize the teaching of facts at he expense of more complicated intellectual behaviors
- they place a sameness on the curriculum, assuming all must master identical material and do so in almost identical ways
- the nurture a rigidity in learning and tend to deny the unique learning outcomes of students (factory-like learning)
- they dehumanize individuals, overlook individual outcomes, and stifle creativity and spontaneity
- they negate that learning is much more than the gathering and hoarding of specific facts learned in isolation
