What is an example of a well-structured behavioral objective?

A well-structured behavioral objective is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. In the example, Shaquell's goal is clearly defined: he will participate in a group activity (sitting with the group at circle time) for a specified duration (30 seconds) without needing to be physically supported. This clarity allows for straightforward assessment of whether the objective has been met, as it provides clear criteria for evaluation.

The other examples, while they imply a behavioral goal, lack the necessary specificity and measurability. For instance, expressing an interest in reading does not convey a clear behavioral action that can be observed and measured. Identifying colors during an art activity is a positive goal, but it doesn't specify the context or how the identification will be assessed, such as the conditions under which this occurs or the required accuracy. Trying new foods at home fails to set a clear behavior with measurable criteria, as it does not define how many new foods Shaquell should try or in what time frame. Thus, option B stands out as the most effective example of a well-structured behavioral objective.
