OUTCOMES-BASED

EDUCATION (OBE):
 1. Shift of Instructional Focus

• Outcomes-Based Education (OBE)

 focuses classroom instruction
on the accomplishments (skills/competencies)
that students must demonstrate when they exit.
2. The Outcomes of Education:

• (a)Immediate Outcomes:
Competencies/skills acquired upon completion of
a subject, a grade/year level, a segment of the
program, or a program itself.
Examples of Immediate Outcomes
• Analytic ability
• Problem-solving skill
• Ability to communicate in writing, reading,
speaking and mathematically
• Skill in creative expression
Examples of Immediate Outcomes
• Skill in technology utilization
• Passing the licensure examination
• Initial job placement
• Admission in a graduate program
 The Outcomes of Education:

• (b)Deferred Outcomes:
Ability to apply cognitive, psycho-motor and
affective skills/competencies in various aspects of
the professional and workplace practice.
 Examples of
Deferred Outcomes
• Promotion in job position/rank as evidence of
work competence, skill and social relation.
• Success in professional practice or occupation as
evidence in skill in career planning, health and
service and continuing education.
 Examples of
Deferred Outcomes
• Professional recognition, awards, distinction as
evidence of civic responsibility and participation in
environment conservation and other social
advocacies.
 3. Program Objectives (P.O)

• broad goals that the program expects to achieve

• stated from the point of view of the faculty or of
the program itself such as “to develop/to provide/ to
motivate, etc.”
 Program Objectives (P.O)
• Objectives are expressed as:
-cognitive, psychomotor and affective goals.
-focused on the well-rounded and profession-
specific development of the students.

• These are deferred outcomes of an educational program

which are observable and verifiable years after graduation.
 4. Student Learning Outcomes
(S.L.O)
• are operational definitions of each of the program
objectives.

• stated as active transitive verbs such as “to

demonstrate/ to express/ to illustrate/ to apply”

• are immediate outcomes of education.

7. Determining the Attainment of
Student Learning Outcomes (SLO)
through Outcomes-Based
Assessment (OBA)
7.1 Educational Assessment
• Is a comprehensive process of describing, judging
and communicating the quality of learning and
performances of students.
• Assessment in education is a comprehensive term
which includes measurement, evaluation and grading.
7.2 Outcomes-based Assessment
• Requires teachers to define clearly, in language
that their students can understand and apply,
the learning target, competencies or
performances expected of the students and
which the teachers should actualize.
 Outcomes-Based Assessment
(OBA)
• is authentic assessment
• a form of assessment in which students perform
real-life tasks which are either replicas or simulations
of the kind of situations faced by adult citizens and
professionals.
(a) Teacher expectation in OBA
• Focusing on the key elements of the curriculum that will lead to the
desired outcomes.
• Ensuring that every activity, inside and outside the classroom, help
produce the desired results.
• Providing opportunities for students to demonstrate proficiency in
variety of modalities.
• Reviewing and revising learning targets as revealed by assessment of
results.
(b) Student Expectations in OBA
• Understanding clearly with competencies/skills
teachers expect to observe.
• Being ready to demonstrate what they know.
• Accepting responsibility for what they don’t know.
• Being prepared to continue achieving and reaching
high performance.
 7.3 Recommended Outcomes-Based
Assessment Tools
• Anecdotal record • Peer critique
• Observation guide • Performance or demonstration
• Interview guide • Portfolios
• Checklist • Rubrics
• End-of-chapter/unit/term test • Written assignment
• Journal (notebook of student) • Self-assessment
• Literacy log book (new terms learned) • Reflection essays
• Standardized tests
7.4 Characteristics of
OBA
Use of Measurable Assessment Tools
And
Key to Outcomes-Based Assessment
(a) Use of Measurable Assessment
Tools
• Outcomes-Based Assessment (OBA)
-focuses on student activities that will be relevant
after formal schooling concludes

-the approach is to design assessment tools that are

measurable and less abstract.
 Example
• “Verbal Ability” is an abstract competency;
-on the other hand, a much easier competency to assess
is “to write coherent paragraph composed of
grammatically correct sentences.”
 (b) Key to OBA
• The key to Outcomes-Based Assessment (OBA)
• is the teacher’s ability to provide a realistic simulation or
approximation of the setting

• in which the outcomes of learning will be required or

applied.
Examples:
• Role playing
• Gaming
• Demonstration
• Case Discussion
• Problem-Solving sessions, etc.
• In outcomes-based education,
practical applications of principles and theories are means
of verifying and measuring the extent of attainment
of the desired student learning outcomes.

• To ensure a meaningful and profitable experience,

in-campus facilities should be in place
where students can simulate the situations
they will encounter in the workplace.
• It is recommended that teacher educators conceptualize
- a laboratory with the appropriate equipment and
facilities

-to support the various simulation, role-play, student-

centered, problem- based and creative activities

-that will help prepare future teachers for the situations

they are likely to encounter.

This is the end-goal of outcome-based education.
