Abstract:

This study focuses on the perceptions of pre-service physics teachers about the learning objectives of the secondary school physics programme of study. Data were collected from pre-service physics teachers attending a compulsory course named Instructional Planning and Evaluation in Secondary Education. Pre-service teachers online discussions as contributions to the preparation of an assignment for the course comprised the data for the study. Results showed that preservice teachers had difficulty in identifying and deciding level according the Bloom s taxonomy of higher order learning objectives whereas they easily identified learning objectives from knowledge, comprehension and application levels.
