Title of the Practice: Objective Outcome Based Education Practice
Objectives:
- To focus on student learning outcomes.
- To train Graduates suitable to industry/entrepreneurship/research
- To ensure Continuous Quality Improvement
Along with the traditional methods of teaching, Outcome Based Education is practiced in the
institute. The traditional method focusing on ‘covering the content’ is giving much less thought
to the ‘learning by the student’ and has been generating graduates with lower employability. The
content-driven approach to teaching has been referred to as a teacher-centered approach where
instructional objectives and learning outcomes are not comprehensively planned and informed to
students. Stress on Lower Order Thinking Skills and Student assessment is not aligned to
program outcomes.
Practice:
- Our institution is an affiliated college. As per the University guidelines internal assessment test, practical examination and university examination are the only ways of assessing the academic performance of the student. OBE includes quiz, assignments, seminar, presentations, etc., adopting Blooms Taxonomy. Continuous counselling was done to explain the importance of these activities in their academic and professional life which motivated the students to participating in the OBE activities.
