EDUCATION FOR TEACHER
PREPARATION CURRICULUM
Learning Objectives
• Define what is outcomes – based education;
• Identify the four principles in OBE;
• Describe how teaching and learning relate the OBE;
• Describe how assessment of achieved learning
relate to OBE; and
• Describe the learner’s responsibility in learning
through OBE.
Outcomes – Based Education (OBE)
• W. Spady (1994)
• As clearly focusing, and organizing everything in
the educational system around the essential for all
the students to do successfully at the end of their
learning experiences.
• It starts 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 learning happens
•What do we want these students to learn?
•Why do we want students to learn these things?
•How can we best help students to learn these
things?
•How will you know when the students have
learned?
•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 Principles in OBE
Principle 1: Clarity of Focus
Principle 2: Designing Backwards
Principle 3: High Expectations
Principle 4: Expanded Opportunities
Principle 1: Clarity of Focus
•A clear focus on what teachers want students to
learn.
•Outcome of teaching is learning.
•Should have a clear picture in mind what
knowledge, skills, values must be achieved at the
end of teaching – learning process.
Principle 2: Designing Backwards
•Learning outcome has to be clearly defined.
•Planning, implementing and assessing should be
connected to the outcomes.
Principle 3: High Expectations
•Establishing high expectations, challenging
standards of performance will encourage
students to learn better.
•Success reinforces learning, motivates, builds
confidence and encourages learners to do
better.
Teaching – Learning in OBE
•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 in
( what use it will be now and in the future) and
how will they know that they have learned.
Teaching – Learning in OBE
•Teachers must use a variety of teaching
methods.
•Teachers must provide students with enough
opportunities to use the new knowledge and skill
that they begin.
•Teacher must help students to bring each
learning to a personal closure that will make
them aware of what they learned.
Shifts from traditional to an OBE
Traditional View To OBE view
• Instruction • Learning
• Inputs and Resources • Learning Outcomes
• Knowledge in transferred by • Knowledge already exists in the
the teacher minds of the learners
• Teacher dispenses • Teachers are designers of
knowledge methods
• Teachers and students are • Teacher and students work in
independent and in isolation teams
Assessment of Learning Outcomes in
OBE
•Valid
•Reliable
•Fair
•Reflect the knowledge and skills that are
important to the students.
•Tell both the teachers and students how students
are progressing.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes in
OBE
•Should support every student’s opportunity to
learn things that are important.
•Allow individuality or uniqueness to be
demonstrated.
•Be comprehensive to cover a wide range of
learning outcomes
Learner’s Responsibility for Learning
•Students are responsible for their own learning
and progress.
•Nobody can learn for the learner.
•Thus, learning is a personal matter.
•Teacher can only facilitate that learning, define
the learning outcomes to be achieved, and
assist the students to achieve those outcomes.
•Students have the bigger responsibility to
achieve those outcomes.
•In this way, they will be able to know whether
they are learning or not.
One of the great benefits of outcomes-based
education is that:
• It makes students aware of what they should be
learning
• Why they are learning it
• What they are actually learning
• What they should do when they are learning.
•What do I have to learn?
•Why do I have to learn it?
•What will I be doing while I am learning?
•How will I know that I am learning, what I should
be learning?
•Will I have any say in what I learn?
•How will I be assessed?
