Outcome-based education

Outcome-based education (OBE) is an educational theory that bases each part of an educational system around goals (outcomes). By the end of the educational experience, each student should have achieved the goal. There is no single specified style of teaching or assessment in OBE; instead, classes, opportunities, and assessments should all help students achieve the specified outcomes. [1] The role of the faculty adapts into instructor, trainer, facilitator, and/or mentor based on the outcomes targeted.

Methods of outcome-based education (OBE) are student-centered learning methods that focus on empirically measuring student performance (the "outcome"). OBE contrasts with traditional education , which primarily focuses on the resources that are available to the student, which are called inputs . While OBE implementations often incorporate a host of many progressive pedagogical models and ideas, such as reform mathematics , block scheduling , project-based learning and whole language reading, OBE in itself does not specify or require any particular style of teaching or learning. Instead, it requires the students to demonstrate the skills and course content that they are required to learn. However in practice, OBE generally promotes curricula and assessment based on constructivist methods and discourages traditional education approaches based on direct instruction of facts and standard methods.

Outcome-based education (OBE) is an education reform model largely aimed primary and secondary education ("K-12" in the United States and Australia) which is intended to objectively measure student performance. Measurement may be used to determine whether or not the education system is performing adequately, and in some cases whether or not students will be certified as educated by the system. It is also known as Standards-based education reform , Mastery Education, systemic education restructuring, Performance Based Education, High Performance Learning, Total Quality Management, Transformational Education, Competency-Based Education, and Break-the-Mold Schools. [ citation needed ] Most local schools in the United States, state and federal education agencies are currently implementing a heavily modified form of outcomes- or standards-based education reform, though most citizens are unaware of the implications of this design compared to the education most parents received, and the small but persistent protest movement against implementation of this system since its inception in the late 1970s.
