Study Notes

Outcomes-Based Education (OBE)

  • OBE shifted education from a "pouring in" process (teacher-centered) to a "drawing out" process (student-centered).
  • Technology's impact allowed students to access information independently, making teachers facilitators of knowledge.
  • OBE has three characteristics: student-centered, faculty-driven, and meaningful.

Key Components of OBE

  • Educational Objectives: Broad goals of a course, defined by the teacher.
  • Learning Outcomes: Specific, measurable actions students should be able to perform after a course.
  • Bloom's Taxonomy: A framework for defining educational objectives in three domains: cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills), and affective (attitudes).

Outcomes in OBE

  • Immediate Outcomes: Skills and competencies acquired immediately after completing a course, program, or grade level.
  • Deferred Outcomes: The ability to apply skills and knowledge in various situations years after completing studies.

Outcome Levels

  • Institutional Outcomes: Attributes expected of graduates 3 or more years after graduation.
  • Program Outcomes: What graduates of a particular program or degree should be able to do upon completion.
  • Course Outcomes: What students should be able to demonstrate at the end of a course or subject.
  • Learning Outcomes: What students should be able to do after a lesson or instruction.
