- <\/span>Did this project further your educational\/career goals?<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
- <\/span>Would you recommend this APE site to other students?<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Writing SMART Objectives<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n- Students are required to develop a minimum of three SMART objectives.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Students will work with the APE faculty to develop and complete the SAMRT Objectives.<\/span><\/li>\n
- SMART objectives are measurable concise statements of the competencies, skills, knowledge, or understanding that the student plans to achieve.<\/span><\/li>\n
- These SMART objectives will guide performance throughout the APE and will allow the preceptor and the instructor to evaluate performance.<\/span><\/li>\n
- As students prepare for the APE course and consider their APE projects, the following SMART format for writing objectives will be helpful:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
S<\/u><\/strong>pecific\u2014include details that define the goal you are working toward.<\/span><\/p>\nM<\/u><\/strong>easurable\u2014define an objective that can be quantified and easily evaluated. For example, “understand the relationship between exercise and obesity” is not measurable. “Describe three ways in which exercise can decrease the incidence of obesity” is measurable.<\/span><\/p>\nA<\/u><\/strong>ttainable\u2014objectives should be achievable given the time and resources available<\/span><\/p>\nR<\/u><\/strong>ealistic\u2014objectives are realistic when the skills and resources needed to achieve them are attainable and the goals are congruent with those of the student and the sponsoring organization<\/span><\/p>\nT<\/u><\/strong>imely\u2014should have beginning and ending dates, and an understanding of what will be accomplished within the time frame of the APE course.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe following steps should help students to formulate good SMART objectives.<\/span><\/p>\nStep 1<\/strong>: Write down all the activities and duties that you will engage in throughout the APE.<\/span><\/p>\nExample: data analysis<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nStep 2<\/strong>: Write down the resources needed from yourself and the organization to accomplish each of the listed activities.<\/span><\/p>\nExample: need data, knowledge of how data were collected, time, software, knowledge of software, computer, workspace, and what is the purpose of the analysis?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nStep 3<\/strong>: Write the outcome for each of the listed activities.<\/span><\/p>\nExample: The data analysis is being used to help with the quality control survey of how a program is utilized.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nStep 4<\/strong>: Develop SMART objectives considering the activities, resources needed, and outcomes written in steps 1-3 above. What is going to be learned?<\/span><\/p>\nExamples:<\/span><\/p>\n1. Utilize statistical software to analyze the given data.<\/span><\/p>\n
