Qorrect and modern pedagogy
In today’s world, where technology is changing the whole scene at a rapid pace, creating new ways and formats for everything, the skills and qualifications that were once necessary for any job are no longer the same. Therefore, the former traditional education system where the focus was on “what is taught” rather than “how it’s taught” has lost its relevance. Now is the time for student-centered learning one, and that is where Outcome-based education (OBE) comes into the picture.
Outcome-based education is a pedagogical approach that focuses on students achieving outcomes and emphasizes the importance of the pre-knowledge of all the skills and abilities that students should display by the end of a particular course. It encourages self-learning, showing learners how to study on their own, in their own way, after gaining the required knowledge.
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is crucial in modern pedagogy. It encompasses four main components that define the entire process: Course Outcome (CO), Program Outcome (PO), Program Specific Outcome (PSO), and Program Educational Objective (PEO). These components guide the teaching and delivery methods towards better learning outcomes.
The following are the primary methods by which these components assist in guiding Outcome-Based Education (OBE):
1- Perspicuity
How many times has one of your students felt lost during the course, not knowing what their next step should be? In Outcome-Based Education (OBE), it is essential for both the faculty and students to understand the ultimate goal of the term or course right from the start. This helps ensure that everyone involved knows the steps that need to be taken to achieve that goal, Which prevents confusion and makes the whole process more beneficial for both the student and the teacher.
2- Evaluation
Have you ever wondered if the exams are enough to tell whether you are on the right path or not? Well, OBE takes into consideration the ongoing evaluation during the course that will build the “Outcome”. So throughout the whole course and whenever there’s an exam of any kind, the faculty should be able to keep track of the whole process through reports, to determine if each student is achieving their goal, and provide assistance if needed.
3- Continuity and Developing
You may ask how reports would help the educational system, and this is a valid question. After completing reports, Outcome-based education guides faculty in developing corresponding assessment methods. To achieve the desired outcome, it is important to determine effective ways to assist students, in that way the entire educational process can be comprehensive and effective.
