Outcome Based Education (OBE)
Ministry of Higher Education, Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) and related professional
bodies require all programs offered by Institution of Higher Learnings to adopt the Outcome
Based Education approach in their teaching and learning activities. This is in line with the
paradigm shift mooted by the Ministry of Higher Education to enhance the quality of education
in Malaysia.
Outcome-based education (OBE) is an educational approach that focuses on what students are
able to do upon completion of a course. All curriculum and teaching decisions are made based
on how best to facilitate the desired outcome. The term outcomes in this matter would be a set
of values or ‘wish list’ on what students should acquire upon their educational program
completion. Outcome-based education is designed so that “all students are equipped with the
knowledge, skills and qualities needed to be successful after they exit the educational
system” (Spady, 1994, p. 9).
In brief, OBE answers the following questions:
 What must the student learn?
 What do the teachers or lecturers want the student to learn?
 How does what student learn affect the overall educational outcome?
 How do the teachers or lecturers make sure that the students learn what they are
intended to learn?
Thus, OBE outlines the guidance for planning, delivering and evaluating teaching and learning
activities to achieve the results expressed in terms of individual student learning outcomes as
shown in Figure 5.1 below.

DELIVERY MODES
The diversity of teaching and learning methodologies can be adapted by lecturers as to cater
to the hetrogeneous or different students’ potentials. This is important to ensure that different
students are at the maximum level while the less potential ones are not left behind. Figure
5.2 shows that there are many modes of delivery that can be employed to suit various
teaching and learning purposes.

FORMATION OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
The achievement of our students is measured by learning outcomes. These learning
outcomes should specify the competencies acquired by students upon completion of their
studies. Donnelly, K (2007) mooted that outcomes cater to the understandings,
dispositions and capabilities which are the personal and intellectual qualities to be
possessed by each student. The outcomes are developed throughout the students’
learning span. These features are contained in the 8 domains of learning outcomes:
Figure 5.4: Competency Domain to be applied in MQA Outcomes
(Learning Outcomes, LO)
THREE MAIN STAGES IN TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS
In general, OBE concept divides teaching and learning activities into three parts, namely:
i. Planning,
ii. Implementation and
iii. Assessment
At the planning stage, learning outcomes should be determined in advance by taking into
account what students can do after attending a teaching process.
At the implementation stage, the teaching and learning activities should be designed to
achieve the specified learning outcomes.
Finally, the assessment is to be determined where it measures how far students have
achieved the specified learning outcomes and assessment provides input to continuously
improve the teaching and learning process.

Figure 5.5: Three Main Stage in Teaching and Learning Process
Towards the future of OBE:
1. Courses will help students to want, passionately, to do things, rather than just ‘be able to’ do
things.
2. Assessment will assess whether students actually and spontaneously achieve the outcomes,
rather than just ‘being able to’
3. Outcomes will include values and principles and purposes as well as abilities.
In conclusion, the call for accountability is inevitably one of the reasons that lead to the
introduction of OBE in Politeknik Muadzam Shah. All parties need to make necessary changes,
modifications, and improvements in the light of the changes aimed. The roles of curriculum,
lecturers or instructors and assessment must gear the students towards the intended outcomes.
