What is OBE ?

OBE stands for Outcome-Based Education.


As the name implies, it is an education that is
anchored and focus on outcomes.

- Focus from content to learning outcome


According to W. Spady (1994). He
defined OBE 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 sure
that learning happen. This definition clearly
points to the desired results of education
which are the learning outcomes.
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 and
 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 is the
primary principle in OBE. To achieve
this, teachers and students should
have a clear picture in mind of what
knowledge, skills, values must be
achieved at the end of the teaching-
learning process. This is like looking
straight ahead so that the target will
be reached.
Principle 2 : Designing backwards
At the beginning of a curriculum
design, the learning outcome has to be clearly
defined. What to achieve at the end of formal
schooling is determined as the beginning. This
means that planning, implementing and
assessing should be connected to the
outcomes.
Principle 3 : High Expectations
Establishing high expectations,
challenging standard of performance will encourage students
to learn better. This is linked to the premise that successful
learning, promoting more successful learning as mentioned
by Spady in 1994. This is parallel to Thorndike’s law of effect,
which says that success reinforces learning, motivates, builds
confidence and encourages learners to do better.
Principle 4 : Expanded Opportunities
In OBE all students are expected to
excel, hence equal expanded opportunities
should be provided. As advocates of multiple
intelligences say, ‘’every child has a genius in
him/herself, hence is capable of doing the best.
‘’Learners develop inborn potentials if
corresponding opportunities and support.
Teaching-Learning OBE
Teaching is teaching if learners learn.
Learning is measured by its outcome. It
is important that students learn how to
learn, hence a teacher should be
innovative
.
Some tips in teaching learning OBE
Teachers must prepare students
adequately. This can be done if
the teachers know what they
want the students to learn and
what learning outcomes to
achieve.
Teachers must create a positive learning
environment. Students should feel, that
regardless of individual uniqueness, the
teacher is always there to help. Teacher and
student relationship is very important. The
classroom atmosphere should provide
respect for diverse kind of learners.
