MQF* Para 1
MQF is an instrument that develops and classifies
qualifications based on a set of criteria that is
approved nationally and at par with international
practices, and which clarifies the earned academic
levels, learning outcomes of study areas and credit
system based on student academic load.

Outcome-Based Education
&
Student Centered Learning

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and

Student-Centered Learning (SCL)
It is not what we teach, It is what they learn
It involves documenting the intended results, how the results
will be measured and monitored and taking action to make
real learning happen A process that involves the restructuring
of curriculum, assessment and reporting practices in
education to reflect the achievement of higher order learning
and mastery rather than accumulation of course credits.
Students will be equally responsible for their own learning
Engagement of both students and lecturers will be visible

Paradigm Shift in the Education

& Training Philosophy
From teacher-centered (TCL)

to a student-centered (SCL)

Traditional teaching
teacher owns the
knowledge and convey
it to the students.

SCL Based teaching :

students (trainee) to learn
as much as possible.

Teacher brings the

content and the answers
into the classroom/ training
room with him / her.

teacher as a coach who

asks questions and provides
guidelines for the acquisition
of knowledge.

OBE: Outcome-Based Education

OBE addresses the following key questions:
What do you want the students to have or to be
able to do?
How can you best help students achieve it?
How will you know whether they have achieved it?
How do you measure the attainment (close the
loop)?

OBJECTIVES vs. OUTCOMES

OBJECTIVES

OUTCOMES

Objectives describe WHAT A TEACHER

NEEDS TO DO TO TEACH, AND WHAT
NEEDS TO BE PLANNED TO TEACH.

Outcomes describes WHATSTUDENTS

SHOULD KNOW,UNDERSTAND AND CAN
DO UPON THE COMPLETION OF A STUDY
PERIOD.

Objectives require the use of BASIC

THINKING SKILLS SUCH AS KNOWLEDGE,
COMPREHENSION, AND APPLICATION.

Outcomes require the use of HIGHER

THINKING SKILLS SUCH AS ANALYSIS,
SYNTHESIS, AND EVALUATION (as
described in Blooms Taxonomy)

Objectives DO NOT NECESSARILY RESULT

IN A PRODUCT. OFTEN, THEY ARE
SYNTHESIZED OR COMBINED TO
PRODUCE SOMETHINGTHAT
MEASURES AN OUTCOME.

Outcomes result in a
PRODUCT THAT CAN BE MEASURED
AND ASSESSED.

OBJECTIVES vs. OUTCOMES

OBJECTIVES

OUTCOMES

e.g.(1.) - Economics students will

understand the nature and
functioning of the market system

Economics students will be able to

identify the role of supply and
demand in a market economy and the
necessary conditions to function well)

e.g.(2.) - Management students will

understand and use a variety of
quantitative analysis techniques
appropriate for business

Management students will

demonstrate a basic knowledge of
calculus, statistics, and other
quantitative tools necessary to solve
real-world problems)

Characteristics of a Good Course Outcome

should be mapped to the learning domain in

Blooms or other Taxonomy .
Must state the major skills, knowledge,
attitude or ability that students will acquire.
expressed in terms of measurable and/or
observable behaviors (hint: ask yourself how
you would test the outcome).
more general than objectives.

Characteristics of a Good Course Outcome (Cont.)

Each course will usually have between 3 and 5

major outcomes.
They should be agreed upon by the faculty in a
program and should drive program outcomes.
These outcomes should be the same across courses
with the same code.
Begin with an action verb (e.g., write, install, solve,
and apply).
