use this knowledge to perform a task. Multiple-choice
exams, for instance, make it difficult to measure language
competency demanding more than recall of the subject
matter (Brualdi, 1998, Roediger, 2005). The emphasis on the
assessment of competencies demands a new way of thinking
about how to evaluate students and requires varied forms of
assessments to determine the extent to which students can
actually use knowledge to complete tasks.

B. Guiding Principles 

Instruction: Review the significant take-aways & informations you have indicated above and formulate five guiding principles of the proposed
curriculum. 
1. In order to apply OBE in a school, it is essential to have a team of specialists in a given field that can create, innovate, and update OBTL. It simply
helps students understand expectations, helps students self-improve, inspires higher student performance, makes scoring easier and faster,
makes scoring more accurate, unbiased, and consistent, improves student feedback, reduces student disputes, and improves faculty and staff
feedback.

2. Experts' expertise and experience in the classroom gives them insight into the kind of curriculum, activities, and assignments that are most likely
to increase learning standards while encouraging students to learn through new textbooks, useful technology, and distinctive teaching
techniques.

3. It is possible to make the teaching and learning process more specific, high-quality, and successful by forming a team of topic
specialists. The design of an effective curriculum, implementation of relevant and suitable teaching, and learning assessment activities
are all aided by a clear understanding and articulation of targeted learning outcomes.

4. Collaboration is a deceptively basic idea with far-reaching and exciting consequences for all children's education and instructor performance. We
can certainly build a standard and high-quality, effective OBTL with the help of professionals and teachers.

5. Curricular experts examine existing curriculum frameworks to see how successful they are. They then evaluate ways to enhance frameworks or
ensure that they comply with new objectives or requirements. Examining student learning tracks to determine the frameworks' efficacy in
assisting students in progressing through different levels of a subject is one example.
