INTRODUCTION
Review: EDUCATIONAL GOALS, STANDARDS AND OBJECTIVES
GOALS. Goals are general statements about desired learner outcomes in a given year or during the duration of a
program (e.g., senior high school).
STANDARDS. Standards are specific statements about what learners should know and capable of doing at a
particular grade level, subject, or course. McMillan (2014, p.131) described four different types of educational
standards: (1) content (desired outcomes in a content area), (2) performance (what students do to demonstrate

competence), (3) developmental (sequence of growth and change over time), and (4) grade-level (outcomes for a
specific grade)
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES. Educational objectives are specific statements of learner performance at the end of
an instructional unit. These are formulated from the point of view of a teacher.

in an educational system around what is essential for all students to be able to do successfully at the
end of their learning experiences. This means starting with a clear picture of what is important for
students to be able to do, then organizing the curriculum, instruction, and assessment to make
sure that this learning ultimately happens. Us
For education stalwart Dr. William Spady (Educational Psychologist and considered as the
om
Father of OBE), Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) is a paradigm shift in the education system that’s
changing the way students learn, teachers think and schools measure excellence and success. He
came to the Philippines to introduce OBE in order to share the benefits of OBE. Spady said in
sro
conceptualizing OBE in 1968, he observed the US education system was more bent on how to make
them achieve good scores. “So there are graduates who pass exams, but lack skills. Then there
are those who can do the job well yet are not classic textbook learners.” Furthermore, he said that
las
OBE is also more concerned not with one standard for assessing the success rate of an individual. “In
OBE, real outcomes take us far beyond the paper-and-pencil test.” An OBE-oriented learner thinks of
rC
the process of learning as a journey by itself. He acknowledged that all students can learn and
succeed, but not on the same day in the same way.

improvement in instruction and other assessment activities.
eO
To implement OBE on the subject or the course, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Identification of the educational objectives of the subject/course. Educational objectives
are the broad goals that the subject/course expects to achieve, and defining in general terms

the knowledge, skills and attitude that the teacher will help the students to attain. The
objectives are stated from the point of view of the teacher such as: "to develop, to provide, to
enhance, to inculcate, etc."

2. Listing of learning outcomes specified for each subject/ course objective. Since
subject/course objectives are broadly stated, they do not provide detailed guidance to be
teachable and measurable. Learning outcomes are stated as concrete active verbs such

Institutional outcomes are statements of what the graduates of an educational institution are

Program outcomes are what graduates of particular educational programs or degrees are
able to do at the completion of the degree.
Course or subject outcomes are what students should be able to demonstrate at the end of
course or subject.
Learning or instructional outcomes (learning targets) are what students should be able to
do after a lesson or instruction.
Institutional outcomes are most broad. These institutional outcomes become more

TAXONOMY OF LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The Three (3) Types of Learning
Us
Believing that there were more than one (1) type of learning, Benjamin Bloom and a
committee of colleagues in 1956, identified three domains of educational activities; the cognitive,
referring to mental skills; affective, referring to growth in feeling or emotion; and psychomotor,
om
referring to manual or physical skills. These terms were regarded as too technical by practicing
teachers and so the domains were translated to simpler terms commonly used by teachers;
knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA).

PRINCIPLES OF OBE
Learning outcomes are statements that describe significant and essential learning that
learners have achieved, and can reliably demonstrate at the end of a course or program. In other
words, learning outcomes identify what the learner will know and be able to do by the end of a
course or program. Examples that are specific and relatively easy to measure are:
● …CAN read and demonstrate good comprehension of text in areas of the student’s
interest or professional field.
nly
● …CAN demonstrate the ability to apply basic research methods in psychology,
including research design, data analysis, and interpretation.
● …CAN identify environmental problems, evaluate problem-solving strategies, and
eO
develop science-based solutions.
● …CAN demonstrate the ability to evaluate, integrate, and apply appropriate
information from various sources to create cohesive, persuasive arguments, and to
propose design concepts.
Us
It is grounded on the principles of: (1) clarity of focus of significance, (2) expanded
om
opportunity for students to succeed, (3) high expectations for quality performance, and (4) design
down from where you want to end up.
1. Clarity of focus. Educators should be made aware and conscious about the outcomes
sro
of education each student must manifest or demonstrate at the course level and that
these outcomes at the classroom level are connected to the attainment of higher level
las
particular standard that applies to all learners. In effect, this standardizes the
assessment practices and procedures used by educators in specific subjects/courses.
2. High expectations. As stated in the clarity of focus principle, learning outcomes at the
course level are necessarily connected to higher level outcomes. These connections
warrant educators from eliciting high levels of performance from students. This level
of performance ensures that students successfully meet desired learning outcomes
set for a course, and consequently enable them to demonstrate outcomes at higher
levels (program or institutional level). Thus, the kind of assessments in OBE learning
context should challenge students enough to activate and enable higher order
13
EDUC 75: ASSESSMENT IN LEARNING 1
thinking skills (e. g., critical thinking, decision making, problem solving, etc.), and
should be more authentic (e. g., performance tests, demonstration exercise, simulation
or role play, portfolio, etc.).
3. Expanded opportunity. The first and second principles importantly necessitate that
educators deliver students‟ learning experiences at an advanced level. In the process,
many students may find it difficult complying with the standards set for a course. As a
philosophical underpinning of OBE, Spady (1994) emphasized that “all students can
learn and succeed, but not on the same day, in the same way.” This discourages
educators from generalizing manifestations of learned behavior from students,
nly
considering that every student is a unique learner. Thus, an expanded opportunity
should be granted to students in the process of learning and more importantly in
assessing their performance. The expansion of opportunity can be considered
eO
multidimensional (i. e., time, methods and modalities, operational principles,
performance standards, curriculum access and structuring). In the assessment
practice and procedures, the time dimension implies that educators should give more
Us
opportunities for students to demonstrate learning outcomes at the desired level.
Thus, provisions of remedial, make-up, removal, practice tests, and other expanded
learning opportunities are common in OBE classrooms.
om
4. Design down. This is the most crucial operating principle of OBE. As mentioned in the
previous section, OBE implements a top-down approach in designing and stating the
sro
outcomes of education (i. e., culminating - enabling - discrete outcomes). The same
principle can be applied in designing and implementing outcomes‟ assessments in
classes. Traditionally, the design of assessments for classes is done following a
las
bottom-up approach. Educators would initially develop measures for micro learning
tasks (e. g., quizzes, exercises, assignments, etc.), then proceed to develop the
rC
end-of-term tasks (e. g., major examination, final project, etc.). In OBE context, since
the more important outcomes that should be primarily identified and defined are the
culminating ones, it follows that the same principle should logically apply.
Fo
GENERALIZATION/SUMMARY
● To implement OBE on the subject or the course, the teacher should identify the educational
objectives of the subject course so that he/she can help students develop and enhance their
knowledge, skills, and attitudes; he/she must list down all learning outcomes specified for
each subject or the course objectives.
● A good source of learning outcomes statements is the taxonomy of educational objectives by
Benjamin Bloom which is grouped into three domains:
14
EDUC 75: ASSESSMENT IN LEARNING 1
○ the Cognitive, also called knowledge, refers to mental skills such as remembering,
understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, synthesizing, creating;
○ the Psychomotor, also referred to as skills, includes manual or physical skills, which
proceed from mental activities and range from the simplest to the complex such as
observing, imitating, practicing, adapting, and innovating;
○ the Affective, also known as the attitude, refers to growth in feelings or emotions, from
the simplest behavior to the most complex such as receiving, responding, valuing,
organizing, and internalizing
● The new taxonomy of educational objectives (2000) is a two dimensional model with six
nly
categories of mental processes represented by one dimension and three domains of
knowledge represented by the other dimension. Educational objectives can be easily
classified within these two dimensions.
