OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION OBE

• OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION (OBE)

Important Points On OBE

• OBE is an educational process.
• Directed/focussed at achieving certain specified
  outcomes in terms of individual student learning.
• Outcomes - key capabilities and qualities that
  should be developed/acquired by students at the
  end of their study.
• Both structures and curricula are designed to
  achieve those capabilities or qualities.
• Educational structures and curriculum are
  regarded as means. They should be evaluated for
  Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI)

Outcome Based Education (OBE)

• An educational process which is based on
  trying to achieve certain specified outcomes in
  terms of individual student learning. Thus,
  having decided what are the key things students
  should understand and be able to do or the
  qualities they should develop, both structures
  and curricula are designed to achieve those
  capabilities or qualities. Educational structures
  and curriculum are regarded as means not ends. If
  they do not do the job they are rethought.

Definition of OBE
OBE is a process that involves the restructuring
of curriculum, assessment and reporting practices
in education to reflect the achievement of high
order learning and mastery rather than
accumulation of course credits.

Current Scenario

• Current curriculum
• Prescribed, essentially rigid structure
• Specified content and proportions
• Little scope for flexibility
• The Curriculum was not designed to prepare
  students and graduates towards achieving the
  objectives of the programme.
• Students were not informed on the objectives and
  outcomes of the programme and what are expected
  from them in order to achieve the outcomes

Curriculum - requires Restructuring/Revision
Delivery method becomes more innovative/Flexible
Amongst expected changes
Assessment Evaluation Methods more varieties
All claims must be based on evidences
Continuous Quality Improvement is emphasized

Requirement of OBE

• Each program must formulate program outcomes that
  foster attainment of the program objectives.
• There must be processes to produce these outcomes
  and an assessment process, with documented
  results, that demonstrates that these program
  outcomes are being measured and indicates the
  degree to which the outcomes are achieved.
• There must be evidence that the results of this
  assessment process are applied to the further
  development of the program.

Approach in implementing OBE

• Modify existing curricular (rather than start
  from scratch)
• Revise Course Content Structure
• Introduce Innovative Delivery Methods
• Introduce Innovative Assessment Evaluation
  Tools
• Introduce System of Data Evidence Collection
• Continuous Quality Improvement

• PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Broad statements that
  describe the career and professional
  accomplishments that the program is preparing
  graduates to achieve. (ABET Criteria, 2004)
• Broad goals that addresses institutional

  stakeholders. (Felder and Brent, 2003)
• PROGRAM OUTCOMES Statements that describe what

  by the time of graduation. These relate to the
  skills, knowledge, and behaviors that student
  acquire in their matriculation through the
  program.
