Why outcomes based education will fail




















The new education plan, titled Schooling , comes after years of criticism by teachers and education experts, who said it was destroying the education system. Yesterday, spokesman and adviser for Motshekga, Panyaza Lesufi, confirmed that a decision on OBE would be made, but refused to expand on what will replace it.

He said Motshekga will make a formal announcement tomorrow. Last year, Motshekga told the National Assembly that there has been "considerable criticism of OBE" and that teachers complained of being overloaded with administrative work. Popular Now 1.

When educators plan curriculums or teachers plan lessons for their classes, they usually start by clarifying the purposes. Teachers and principals may want students to learn something, but they typically allocate a certain amount of time to study of that topic and then move on, whether or not students have mastered it.

For schools to be fully outcome-based, they must organize so that outcomes are fixed, and time and other resources needed to achieve the outcomes are variable 4. Many states and school systems have adopted the philosophy in part by emphasizing outcomes schools are expected to achieve, but few have changed all of their rules and regulations to be compatible with the notion that every aspect of schooling must be based on outcomes rather than on other considerations, such as length of the school year.

Similarly, some programs that are consistent with the OBE philosophy do not use that terminology. Some have no special designation; some are called results-based or performance-based.

The program was originally described as a mastery learning program the term outcome-based was not in use at that time. In a mastery learning program, teachers take responsibility for making sure that most students learn.

Under ODDM, students are informed of the outcomes and expected to assume responsibility for achieving them Brandt ODDM is described as having a strong philosophical and psychological base as well as a technical one 7. Mastery learning failed in the US and had been rejected outright. Many parents have argued that OBE is egalitarian and it has not provided the best kind of education for its people And the reason as to why OBE was dropped in favour of a standards approach curriculum is because a standards approach, when compare to OBE, is more academic in focus, relates to specific year levels, unambiguous and curriculum descriptors are expected to be concise, measurable and based on academic disciplines Given the central role OBE has played in Australian education since the early 90s, there appeared concrete evidence, demonstrating that OBE had been not preparing younger generation for another academic competitive level.

This leads to the once bright promise of subject area standards OBE , has faded under a wide array of criticisms, and the movement itself is bogged down under its own weight Of interest, as occurred in the US following the introduction of OBE, is that there is also opposition to what has become the new orthodoxy in designing the intended curriculum.

Exceeding expectations - All students can deliver the highest level of performance. The only kick start needed is to make them believe and encourage, the only way to attain high expectation. Expanded opportunities - It means giving countless chances and ways to show the students that they have met with their objective.

Not all learners learn the same thing, the same way, and at the same time. However, extended opportunities can help achieve high standards. They help students to learn what is mostly needed for the time and hour. Outcome Based Education - in a Crux In short, outcome-based education OBE formulates content around activities that leads to specific outcomes.

The need of the hour - A sudden blow up at the right moment Outcome Based Education exactly made its way when there were ruckus going on about decentralization within educational institutions. Data Pooling and Curriculum Management seemed a humongous task! It analyzed data on a single platform. Assessments, activities, quizzes, tests, all in one place proved to be difficult to tracking.

Manual calculations of attainment often lead to error. These leads to mistakes in the system and misjudging of outcomes through the course or curricula. Outcome mapping with attainment analysis, a crucial domain of OBE consumed a huge amount of effort. Mapping Learning Outcomes - here is a tip. How to assess better using Outcome Based Education? OBE settles these burning issues that scorch the current Education scenario with super ease : Students were not assessed uniformly - The traditional method of teaching waited for the end of the course to assess the students.
