Understanding Outcome-based Education and Skill Based Education

OBE is an education system that measures success by the outcomes a student achieves.

OBE focuses more on what students can do with what they have learned than on what they know.

Outcome-based education is targeted at achieving desirable outcomes (in terms of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour) at the end of a program. Teaching with this awareness and making the associated effort constitutes outcome-based education. This entails a regular methodology for ascertaining the attainment of outcomes, and benchmarking these against the program outcomes consistent with the objectives of the program.

Traditional education is a learning process where students and teachers are physically present in the same place and at the same time.

OBE measures success by the outcomes a student achieves rather than by the time or effort expended in the classroom.

It’s a shift away from the traditional educational model, which measures success by how well a student has memorised information.

This makes it relevant to both students and employers, as it prepares students for the real world and meets the needs of businesses.

The concept of OBE naturally puts skill-based education or vocational education in focus, where students master specific skills that prepare them for the job market.

Course Design That Addresses Industry Demands

An important part of designing Outcome Based Education is to make sure that the courses you’re offering meet the needs of industries.
Updating curriculum by introducing new courses, upgrading laboratory facilities by introducing modern tools, and training faculty to handle new courses.

An important part of designing Outcome Based Education is to make sure that the courses you’re offering meet the needs of industries.

it leads to more effective and successful outcomes-based education.

Creating and implementing learning outcomes can be a collaborative effort between industry and academia.

Learning outcomes can be created by mapping the skills required for a certain job or industry and then designing course content and learning activities to help students acquire those skills.

Industry representatives can provide valuable insights into the skills that are currently in demand and may also be able to offer advice on how best to design courses and learning outcomes to meet the needs of the industry.

Collaborating with industry partners can help ensure that courses and learning outcomes are aligned with the latest industry trends and demands.

However, this is a good thing! It means that your students will always be learning relevant, up-to-date information that they can use in their careers. Of course, designing courses in this way takes a lot of work and collaboration between academia and industry. But the end result is worth it, as it leads to more effective and successful outcomes-based education.
