Outcome Based Education?
Everyone is talking about outcome based
education (OBE). Why there is so much discussion on topic in education sector? From
ages of Gurukul people are imparting education and there was no problem. Then
suddenly why so much about OBE? Also give opinion on others reply.
Outcome based education is necessary to bring equilibrium between the industry's requirement and courses content and due to this pattern we (Teachers) can understand and adapt and accept the changes which are happening all around the world. Same way as I personally wanted to input and inherent indian good values in students mind.
ReplyDeleteOutcome base Education is important for some extent because there is many colleges and If you get number of resources then you have to filter out some resources and I think these filter out process is carried out by Outcome base Education.
ReplyDeleteOutcome Based Education is gaining importance as now the industry requires quality engineers. In earlier days, the importance was not felt probably owing to the reason that the resources in terms of content of curriculum was limited to only books, however there is abundant content available now. So now the need for outcome is more important than output.
ReplyDeleteRightly said madam. I would like to add to this that today's engineers are lacking 'life skills'. They are not at all taught in colleges. Hence engineers are not able to perform in real life.
DeleteOutcome based education is used to test performance of student on the basis of knowledge, skills and attitudes. After graduation what qualities to be gained by student to balance professional as well as personal growth hence it is required to adopt this method not only for student but also for faculties to survive in today's competition.
ReplyDeleteYes agree with your views mam, shift from output to outcome may defiantly lead to better quality of education.
DeleteOBE enables one to check quality of results instead of quantity which was focus of earlier system. It gives opportunity for teachers to understand areas in which students need more help to succeed. It is a systematic way to evaluate teaching and learning process. Hence it is very important to implement OBE.
ReplyDeleteOutcome Based Education is a need of today’s era to manufacture the product (students) as per the requirement of industry, it is student centric. In OBE, there is explicate mention of what knowledge student should have, or understand and how student should implement it. Students are assigned some predefined means or activities such as projects, hands on session etc. to acquire required knowledge. Continuous assessment is required to take corrective action if required. It’s a well-planned activity by educator to ensure students’ progress in right direction.
ReplyDeleteSince there is a gap in academia and industry needs. Outcome based education has become essential to fill this gap .
ReplyDeleteOutcome based education ensures that students are able to apply the skills and knowledge which they receive in college in their professional lives.
ReplyDeleteIt ensures that its not just mere output of the college
