OBE Flashcards
Outcome-based education means clearly focusing and organizing everything in an educational system around what is essential for all students to be able to do successfully at the end of their learning experiences

OBE is a process that involves the restructuring of curriculum, assessment and reporting practices in education to reflect the achievement of higher order learning and mastery rather than accumulation of course credits
who said this?
Trucker, 2004
OBE implies the best way to learn is to first determine what needs to be achieved. Once the desired results or exit outcomes have been determined, the strategies, processes, techniques and means are put in place to achieve the predetermine goals. In essence, it is a working-backwards with students as the center of the learning-teaching milieu

OBE philosophy
All learners can learn and succeed; success breeds success and teaching institutions control the conditions of success
guide questions of OBE
What do we want students to learn, to do, and to value?
Why do we want them to learn these, do these, and to value these?
How can we best help students to learn, do, and value these? What processes and procedures should be put in place?
How will we know that students after finishing the programs with us have learned these, can do these, and value these?
OBE pyramid elements
paradigm
purposes
premises
principles
practices
What and whether students learn successfully is more important than when and how they learn something
paradigm
Ensuring that all students are equipped with the knowledge, competence, and qualities needed to be successful after they exit the educational system.
purposes
Structuring and operating schools so that those outcomes can be achieved and maximized for all students
purposes
All students can learn and succeed, but not on the same day in the same way
premises
Successful learning promotes even more successful learning
premises
Schools control the conditions that directly affect successful school learning
premises
principles of OBE (pyramid)
clarity of focus
expanded opportunity
high expectations
design down
clarity of focus
On culminating exit outcomes of significance
Focus on what learners will be able to do successfully
Help learners develop competencies
Enable predetermined significant outcomes
Clarify short & long term learning intentions
Focus assessments on significant outcomes
expanded opportunity
Support for learning success
Do not learn the same thing in the same way at the same time
Provide multiple learning opportunities matching learner’s needs with teaching techniques
high expectations
For all to succeed
Establish high challenging performance standards
Engage students in deep learning, push beyond the usual
design down
From culminating outcomes
Begin curriculum design with a clear definition of the significant learning that learners are to achieve by the end of their formal education
Develop systematic education curricula
Trace back from desired end results
Identity “learning building blocks”
Link planning, teaching & assessment decisions to significant learner outcomes
define outcomes
design the curriculum
deliver instruction
document results
determine advancement
practices
__ are the sets of competencies (related knowledge, skills, and attitudes) that all learners are expected to demonstrate. Institutional or program outcomes may also emphasize lifelong learning.
program outcomes
Statements that describe significant and essential learning that learners have achieved, and can reliably demonstrate at the end of the course

inputs are important
traditional program design
time based
traditional program design
learners are grouped in classes and move through the courses or subjects together
traditional program design
subjects and sections are assigned to teachers who prepare and teach classes and evaluate learners
traditional program design
learners accumulate courses and grades over a set number of terms which eventually lead to a credential
traditional program design
results are important
OBE program design
outcomes based
OBE program design
Learners advance through the courses in various ways to achieve outcomes
OBE program design
Teachers are responsible for a set of outcomes related to a course or program
OBE program design
Learners demonstrate achievement of outcomes overtime and according to their own abilities
