  • In this video, we will be discussing the difference between objectives and aims. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, there is a slight distinction between the two. Both aims and objectives refer to goals or targets. However, an aim is a more general statement, while an objective is more specific.An aim identifies what you are trying to accomplish, but in a broad sense. For example, it may be stated that the aim is to reduce poverty in the third world. On the other hand, objectives are the specific steps or actions you take to achieve your aim. These objectives are more specific, such as reducing poverty by 6% in a specific area and within a specific time frame.It is important to note that a series of objectives may be required to meet the overall aim. While the aim remains general, objectives provide the necessary specificity to drive progress. Aiming to become knowledgeable in a field is a broad aim, whereas obtaining a degree within the next two years could be an objective that contributes to that aim.Furthermore, aims tend to be timeless and do not have a specific time limit associated with them. However, objectives typically have both time and number limits. They are the measurable targets on the path to achieving the aim. For instance, an objective could be to teach every child in a certain street how to read, which would contribute to the broader aim of improving literacy within a city.In summary, objectives are the specific actions or measurements that are undertaken to achieve an aim. They must be met in order to reach the overarching aim or target. While aims are general and timeless, objectives are specific, time-bound, and quantifiable. By understanding the difference between aims and objectives, individuals and organizations can better plan and strategize to accomplish their desired goals.

  • Hi there, students.
  • What's the difference between an aim and an objective?
  • I think very often we use these words interchangeably.
  • However, I think they're slightly different.
  • Let's see, we use both of these words to talk about goals or targets.
  • But let's see, an aim is much more general.
  • An objective is much more specific.
  • So, if you have an aim, it identifies what you're trying to do but with a much more general statement.
  • So, it is our aim to reduce poverty in the third world.
  • It's our specific objective to reduce poverty by 6% in this specific area over this specific period of time.
  • So, you can really have a series of objectives in order to meet your overall aim.
  • The aim is something that is much, much more general.
  • Also, more generally, we don't use aim with a time limit.
  • My aim is to do this.
  • My aim is to become very knowledgeable in this field.
  • But then you might have certain objectives.
  • So, it's my objective to get a degree in it in the next two years, for example.
  • A program that is aimed to increase literacy.
  • But it's an overall aim.
  • Then you may have certain objectives to meet certain much more specific targets.
  • So, you'll have several objectives to meet your overall aim or target.
  • Now, normally, if you have an aim, you want to measure different things to see how you're getting towards that.
  • And objectives are the specific measurements on the way to achieving your total aim.
  • Normally, objectives have a time limit.
  • They have a number limit.
  • Objectives are much more specific.
  • It's my objective to teach every child in this street to read.
  • And like that, I am closer to my aim of improving literacy within this city.
  • So, yeah, the objective is something much more specific.
  • You have to meet objectives to achieve your general aim, your general overall target.
  • Yeah, aims are much more abstract, whereas objectives are much more specific.
  • Aims normally don't have a time limit, whereas specific objectives do have a time limit.
  • So, formality.
  • Both of these words are a 5, and you can use them anywhere.
  • So, enough.
