What distinguishes a learning outcome from a learning goal in NIST's terms?

  1. An outcome applies only to role-based training, while a goal applies to the general awareness programme everyone takes
  2. An outcome is written by the regulator rather than by the organisation itself, and so cannot be varied at all to suit local conditions
  3. An outcome is the aggregate of all of the goals set for a whole programme, expressed as one single overall statement
  4. An outcome is learner-centred and describes how the learner will be evaluated, which makes it measurable
Show the answer

Answer: D. An outcome is learner-centred and describes how the learner will be evaluated, which makes it measurable

SP 800-50r1 states learning outcomes are learner-centred and describe how the learner will be evaluated, and that written outcomes should be measurable, achievable and outcome-based.
