Which describes a statement of what the learner will be able to do or how the learner will be expected to behave as a result of instruction?

• A. Motivation
• B. Evaluation
• C. Student outcome
• D. Summary

Answer: (C)

Learning outcomes are statements of what a learner will be able to do or how they will behave after instruction. They describe observable, measurable performances and guide both teaching and assessment. This description matches a student outcome, since it focuses on the actual abilities the learner will demonstrate as a result of the lesson. Motivation is about why students engage, evaluation is the process of judging performance, and a summary is simply a recap of content, not a statement about future performance. For example, “Students will be able to locate three credible sources using library databases” illustrates a clear, observable outcome aligned with instruction.
