4. OBE is an initiative from the Management - You cannot do OBE alone -
Everybody has a part – from the President, VPAA, Dean, Faculty Members and
Employees
5. OBE is learner-centered But - It is not reporting in class - It is not doing
role playing or drama in a programming class - It does not mean lecture is a no–
no inside the class - It is teaching the students in the way they easily learn
6. What is OBE ? –Outcomes-based Education (OBE) –Clearly focusing and
organizing EVERYTHING in an educational system on what is essential for all
students to be able to do successfully at the end of their learning experiences

7. Why Go for OBE? In the Philippines, we focused on OBE because of the
following reasons: – International Professional Registries require completion of
a program that is accredited by an outcomes- based promoting system;
(International Trends); –Education agreements (Accord) around the world promotes
OBE; (Globalization of Education); –Local Accreditation is moving towards OBE;
–Philippines, through the Philippine Technological Council (PTC) will be
applying for Washington Accord; –Other schools have taken their initiatives for
membership like Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)
accreditation; and –Global mobility for Professional Practice. –Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) will require establishment of an OBE System;
8. What is - INPUT no of hrs, textbook, references, coverage - OUTPUT projects,
thesis, machine problem, developed programs - OUTCOME - the students had applied
knowledge in programming - had mastered multimedia application development - can
communicate effectively - can work in a group or team
9. WHAT SHOULD A UNIVERSITY DO IN SETTING UP AN OBE SYSTEM ? 1. Develop an OBE
Framework 2. Develop an Institutional ILO 3. Develop Program Educational
Objectives (PEO) 4. Identify Program or Student Outcomes (SO) 5. Redesign the
curriculum 6. OBTL 7. Develop Assessment Process for PEO and SO 8. Develop
Evaluation Process for PEO and SO 9. Continuous Quality Improvement 10.Financial
Support
10. Student Outcomes (FOR BSCS) The program must have documented student
outcomes that prepare graduates to attain the program educational objectives.
There must be a documented and effective process for the periodic review and
revision of these student outcomes. The program must enable students to attain,
by the time of graduation: (a) An ability to apply knowledge of computing and
mathematics appropriate to the discipline (b) An ability to analyze a problem,
and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution
(c) An ability to design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system,
process, component, or program to meet desired needs (d) An ability to function
effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal (e) An understanding of
professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and responsibilities
(f) An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences (g) An
ability to analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals,
organizations, and society (h) Recognition of the need for and an ability to
engage in continuing professional development (i) An ability to use current
techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice.

43. Assessment, Scoring, and Evaluation C+ Pass/Fail A A- 85% F S Unsatisfactory
67% D C B 93%
44. Definitions ? Assessment -- The process of measuring something with the
purpose of assigning a numerical value. ? Scoring -- The procedure of assigning
a numerical value to assessment task. ? Evaluation -- The process of determining
the worth of something in relation to established benchmarks using assessment
information.
45. Assessment Types ? Formative - for performance enhancement ? Formal -
4. quizzes, tests, essays, lab reports, etc. ? Traditional - tests, quizzes,
homework , lab reports, teacher ? Summative - for performance assessment ?
Informal - active questioning during and at end of class ? Alternative - PBL•s,
presentations, essays, book reviews, peers
46. Alternative Assessment ? Alternative to what? Paper & pencil exams ?
Alternatives: ? lab work / research projects ? portfolios ? presentations ?
research papers ? essays ? self-assessment / peer assessment ? lab practical ?
classroom •clickers• or responder pads
47. More Formal Alternatives ? Rube Goldberg projects ? bridge building /
rocketry / mousetrap cars ? writing a computer program ? research project ? term
paper ? create web page ? create movie ? role playing ? building models ?
academic competitions
48. Informal CATs (Classroom Assessment Techniques) ? Quick-fire questions ?
Minute paper ? 1) What did you learn today? ? 2) What questions do you have? ?
Directed paraphrasing (explain a concept to a particular audience) ? The
•muddiest• point (What is it about the topic that remains unclear to you?) ? For
additional ideas, see Angelo, T.A. & Cross, P.K. (1993) Classroom Assessment
Techniques (2nd ed) San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.
49. Authentic Assessment ? The National Science Education Standards draft (1994)
states, "Authentic assessment exercises require students to apply scientific
information and reasoning to situations like those they will encounter in the
world outside the classroom as well as situations that approximate how
scientists do their work."
50. Assessment Concerns ? Validity -- Is the test assessing what•s intended? ?
Are test items based on stated objectives? ? Are test items properly
constructed? ? Difficulty -- Are questions too easy or too hard? (e.g., 30% to
70% of students should answer a given item correctly) ? Discriminability -- Are
the performance on individual test items positively correlated with overall
student performances? (e.g., only best students do well on most difficult
questions)
51. Evaluation Types ? Criterion-referenced evaluation -- student performance is
assessed against a set of predetermined standards ? Norm-referenced evaluation
-- student performance is assessed relative to the other students ? The •curve•
-- sometimes a combination of criterion- and norm-referenced processes
52. Criterion-Referenced Eval•s ? Based on a predetermined set of criteria. ?
For instance, ? 90% and up = A ? 80% to 89.99% = B ? 70% to 79.99% = C ? 60% to
69.99% = D ? 59.99% and below = F
53. Criterion-Referenced Eval•s ? Pros: ? Sets minimum performance expectations.
? Demonstrate what students can and cannot do in relation to important content-
area standards (e.g, ILS). ? Cons: ? Some times it•s hard to know just where to
set boundary conditions. ? Lack of comparison data with other students and/or
schools.
54. Norm-referenced Evaluation ? Based upon the assumption of a standard normal
(Gaussian) distribution with n > 30. ? Employs the z score: ? A = top 10% (z >
+1.28) ? B = next 20% (+0.53 < z < +1.28) ? C = central 40% (-0.53 < z <
+0.53) ? D = next 20% (-1.28 < z < -0.53) ? F = bottom 10% (z < -1.28) z ? X ? X
?
55. Norm-referenced Evaluation ? Pros: ? Ensures a •spread• between top and
bottom of the class for clear grade setting. ? Shows student performance
relative to group. ? Con: In a group with great performance, some will be
ensured an •F.• ? Cons: ? Top and bottom performances can sometimes be very
close. ? Dispenses with absolute criteria for performance. ? Being above average
does not necessarily imply •A• performance.
56. Norm and Criterion Compared ? Norm-Referenced: ? Ensures a competitive
classroom atmosphere ? Assumes a standard normal distribution ? Small-group
statistics a problem ? Assumes •this• class like all others ? Criterion-
Referenced: ? Allows for a cooperative classroom atmosphere ? No assumptions
about form of distribution ? Small-group statistics not a problem ? Difficult to
know just where to set criteria
57. The •Curve• ? The •curve• might represent a mixture of norm- and criterion-
referenced grading. ? The •curve• is a highly subjective process. ? The •curve•
is normally applied only at the end of a term.
58. Assessing Scientific Process Skills ? Scientific Process Skills
(intellectual skills closely associated with inquiry learning)
5. 59. Basic Scientific Process Skills ? Observing ? Communicating ? Classifying ?
Measuring ? Inferring ? Predicting
60. Integrated Scientific Process Skills ? Identifying variables ? Constructing
a table of data ? Constructing a graph ? Describing a relationship between
variables ? Acquiring and processing data ? Analyzing investigations ?

and evaluating scientific arguments ?Constructing logical proofs ?Generating
principles through the process of induction ?Generating predictions through the
process of deduction

Prepare tests from objectives. ? Assess broad spectrum: content AND skills. ?
Make a rubric for questions that do not have forced-choice answers. ? Create an
answer key for forced-choice questions. ? Double-check your answer key. ? Grade
ASAP, providing corrective feedback.
63. Handling Appeals ? Encourage students to learn from their mistakes. ? Accept
appeals in writing, due by a certain date. ? Refuse to discuss question if
student will be appealing the answer. ? Appeals include the following: ?
Question being appealed ? Teacher and student responses ? Explanation of why
student’s response is as good as or better than teacher’s expected response. ?
Teacher responds in writing. ? No class-wide correction: each student must make
own appeal. ? Benefit: students feel they are treated fairly.
64. Portfolios of Student Work ? Have students prepare an ongoing, extensive
portfolio of their work. ? Maintain these portfolios in an open but supervised
setting. ? During parent-teacher conferences, have student in attendance and
have parents go through portfolio with student under the watchful eyes of the
teacher.
65. Record Keeping ? Keep copies of your grade book or computer program in
widely separated locations. ? Keep up to date. ? Respect confidentiality
