Outcome- Based-

Education: Basis for

Enhanced Education
Curriculum
 Desired Learning Outcomes:

 Define what is outcomes-based education

 Identify the four principles in OBE
 Describe how teaching and learning relate to OBE
 Describe how assessment of achieved learning relate to OBE
 Describe the learner’s responsibility in learning through OBE
 Take off

 Why do we hear a lot of educators talking about OBE?

 What is OBE about?
 Should Curriculum for teacher preparation be influenced
by this? Why?
 How will OBE address the 21st century teachers?
 Outcomes Based Education

 As clearly focusing , organizing everything in the

Educational System around the essential for all the
students to do successfully at the end of the learning
experiences.
 A clear picture of what is important of the students to be
able to do then organizing the curriculum, instruction and
assessment to make sure that learning happens.
 Spay premised that in OBE
 All students can learn and succeed, but not at the same
time or the same way.
 Successful learning process even more successful learning
 Schools and teachers control the conditions that will
determine if the students are successful in school learning.
 Four Essential Principles

1.Clarity and Focus – this is like looking straight ahead so that

the target will be reached.
2. Designing Backwards- this means that planning, implementing
and assessing should be connected to the outcomes.
3. High Expectations- establishing high expectations, challenging
standards of performance will encourage students to learn better.
4. Expanded Opportunities- students are expected to excel,
hence equal expanded opportunities should be provided.
What can you say about this saying?

“Every child has a genius in

him/ herself, hence he is
capable of doing the best”.
 Teaching Learning in OBE
 Teachers must prepare students adequately. This can be done
if the teachers know what they want the students to learn and
what learning outcomes to achieve. Prerequisite knowledge is
important, thus a review is necessary at the start of a lesson
 Teachers must create a positive learning environment. Students
should feel, that regardless of individual uniqueness, the
teacher is always there to help. Teacher and student
relationship is very important. The classroom atmosphere
should provide respect for diverse kind of learner.
 Teachers must help their students to understand , what
they have to learn, why they should learn it (what use it
will be now and in the future) and how they will know that
they have learned.
 Teacher must use a variety of teaching methods. The most
appropriate strategy should be used taking into account
the learning outcomes teachers want the students to
achieve.
 Teacher must provide students with enough opportunities to
use, the new knowledge and skills that they gain. When
students do this, they can explore with new learning, correct
error and adjust their thinking. Application of learning is
encouraged rather than mere accumulation of these.
 Teacher must help students to bring each learning to a personal
closure that will make them aware of what they learned.

Assessment of Learning Outcomes in OBE

 To be useful in OBE system, Assessment should be guided by the

principles
 Assessment procedure

 Should be valid. Procedure and tools should actually assess what one
intends to test
 Should be reliable. Results should be consistent.
 Should be fair. Cultural background and other factors should not
influence assessment procedure
 Shouldreflect the knowledge and skills that are important to the
students
 Should tell both the teachers and students how students are progressing.
 Shouldsupport every students opportunity to learn things that are
important
 Should allow individuality or uniqueness to be demonstrated.
 Should be comprehensive to cover wide range of learning outcome
Learner’s responsibility for Learning

 In OBE students are responsible for their own learning and progress.
 Students have the bigger responsibility to achieve outcomes.
 Students will be able to know whether they are learning or not.
 One of the great benefits of OBE is that it make students aware of
what they should be learning, and what they should do when they are
actually learning, and what they should do when they are learning.
All of these will conclude with the achieved learning outcomes.
 In terms of students perspective there are common questions that will
guide us as they learn under the OBE Curriculum framework.
