    Jay Ventura
    The document discusses the key principles of outcomes-based education (OBE). It defines OBE as focusing on what students should know and be able to do by the end of their learning experience. There are four essential principles of OBE: 1) clarity of focus on what students should learn, 2) designing curriculum backwards from the desired outcomes, 3) high expectations that all students can succeed, and 4) expanded opportunities for students to achieve outcomes. Assessment in OBE should be valid, reliable, fair, and reflect the important knowledge and skills, showing students' progress toward outcomes.

    OUTCOMES-BASED- EDUCATION:

    BASIS FOR ENHANCED TEACHER EDUCATION


    CURRICULUM
    DEFINITION OF OUTCOME-BASED- EDUCATION (OBE)
     W. SPADY

    He defined OBE as clearly focusing, and organizing everything in the


    educational system around the essential for ll the students to do successfully
    at the end of their learning experiences.

     SPADY premised that in OUTCOMES-BASED- EDUCATION;


     All students can learn and succeed , but not at the same time or in the same
    way.
     Successful learning promotes even more successful learning
     Schools and teachers control the conditions that will determine if the
    students are successful in school learning.

    Four Essential Principal in OBE


     PRINCIPLE 1: CLARITY OF FOCUS
    A clear focus on what teachers want students to learn is the primary principle in
    OBE.
     PRINCIPLE 2: DESIGNING BACKWARDS
    This principle is related to the first. At the beginning of curriculum design, the
    learning outcome has to be clearly defined.
     PRINCIPLE 3: HIGH EXPECTATIONS
    This is linked to the premise that successful learning, promotes more successful
    learning as mentioned by SPADY in 1994.
     PRINCIPLE 4: EXPANDED OPPORTUNITIES
    In OBE all students are expected to excel, hence equal expanded opportunities
    should be provided.

    TEACHING- LEARNING IN OBE


    Teaching is teaching if learners learn. Learning is measured by its outcome. Whatever
    approach to teaching is used, the intent should focus on learning rather on teaching.

     Teachers must prepare students adequately.


     Teachers must create a positive learning environment.
     Teachers must help their students to understand what they have to learn, why they should
    learn it and how will they know that they have learned.
     Teachers must use variety of teaching methods.
     Teachers must provide students with enough opportunities to usethe new knowledge and
    skills that they gain.
     Teachers must help students to bring each learning to a personal closure that will make
    them aware of what they learned.
    Here are additional key points in learning-teaching in OBE which show the shifts from a
    traditional to an OBE view.

    From the Traditional View To OBE View

    Instruction Learning
    Inputs and Resources Learning Outcomes
    Knowledge is transferred by the Knowledge already exists in the
    teacher minds of the learners

    Teacher dispenses knowledge Teachers are designers of methods


    Teachers and students are Teachers and students work in
    independent and in isolation teams

    ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OUTCOMES IN OBE

    To be useful in OBE System, assessment should be guided by the following principles:


    1. Assessment procedure should be valid.
    2. Assessment procedure should be reliable.
    3. Assessment procedure should be fair.
    4. Assessment procedure should reflect the knowledge and skills that are important to
    students.
    5. Assessment should tell both the teachers and students how students are progressing.
    6. Assessment should support every student’s opportunity to learn things that are important.
    7. Assessment should allow individuality or uniqueness to be demonstrated.
    8. Assessment should be comprehensive to cover a wide range of learning outcomes.

    LEARNER’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR LEARNING


    In terms of students perspective s there are common questions that will guide them as
    they learn under the OBE Curriculum framework. To guide the students in OBE learning, they
    should ask themselves the following questions.

    1. What do I have to learn?


    2. Why do I have to learn it?
    3. What will I be doing while I am learning?
    4. How will I know that I am learning, what I should be learning?
    5. Will I have any say in what I learn?
    6. How will I be assessed?
