The fourth edition of Objectives, Methods, and Evaluation for Secondary Teaching does more than provide a useful guide for planning, teaching and evaluating. Unlike most other methods texts, this book focuses on helping teachers decide what they want their students to learn, how their students can use the information and skills, and how they, as teachers, can determine if the instructional objectives have been achieved.
