OBE Framework
HEI
clear learning results that we want students to demonstrate at the end of significant learning experiences (Spady & Uy. 2014)
Outcomes

OBE Philosophy
OBE Premises and Philosophy are Guided by Simple 4 questions
- 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?
