What type of action should instructors use to develop learning objectives across various learning levels?

Using verbs is essential for developing learning objectives across various learning levels because they provide clear and specific indicators of what students should be able to demonstrate after instruction. Action verbs help to articulate the intended outcomes of learning, making it easier for educators to construct measurable and observable objectives.

In the context of Bloom’s Taxonomy, which categorizes educational goals into different levels of complexity, verbs such as "analyze," "create," "apply," and "evaluate" help specify the cognitive processes learners will engage with at various levels. This specificity not only aids instructors in designing their lesson plans but also supports learners in understanding expectations and goals.

In contrast, while exercises, processes, and techniques may contribute to the overall teaching strategy, they do not inherently convey what learning outcomes are being targeted or how to assess the learners’ accomplishment of those outcomes.
