The output goals of an educational program are most likely to include

• A. The number of instructional hours provided
• B. The instructor salaries
• C. The campus location
• D. The annual budget

Answer: (A)

When evaluating an educational program, focus on what the program actually delivers to learners—the tangible services or units of instruction. The most direct measure of that delivery is how many instructional hours are provided. This shows the amount of teaching and contact time the program offers to students, which is a concrete output of the program’s activities. Items like instructor salaries, campus location, and the annual budget are resources that enable delivery, not the outputs themselves. They reflect inputs or constraints rather than the services learners receive.
