Which term describes the goals used to evaluate student performance?

• A. Learning Outcomes
• B. Achievement Targets
• C. Perceptual Strengths
• D. Classroom Decision Making

Answer: (B)

The main idea is identifying what describes the goals used to evaluate student performance: learning outcomes. Learning outcomes specify what students should know and be able to do after instruction and are written in observable, measurable terms so teachers can determine whether mastery has been reached. This makes them the standard reference for both planning instruction and assessing progress. Perceptual strengths relate to how someone processes information, classroom decision making is about how a teacher runs activities, and while achievement targets can denote goals, the established term used to describe evaluation goals is learning outcomes.
