In outcome based education (OBE), curriculum design with industry involvement is most recommended approach which enables relevant execution of teaching learning process. Globally, acceptance of OBE is increasing since four decades. This article investigates the OBE curriculum design by adding Value-Added Courses (VACs) which are endorsed and participated by industry experts jointly with academicians. It is found that VACs are instrumental in reducing the curriculum gaps to attain program outcomes (POs) of any given curriculum along with targeted skills. Analysis presented in this article focuses on the program outcomes gap in the curriculum which enables identification, design and implementation of different VACs. Further, it determines that attainment achieved through VACs significantly reduces the curriculum gap. Hence it is one of the best tool which improves over all PO attainments and shows better path towards the expectation of industries. Proposed framework of analysis showed that VACs contribute to POs by nearly 20%. This article contributes a comprehensive idea for offering several VACs that boost the achievement of POs.

Babul Maghfirah Is one Of junior high Schools located in Aceh Besar which gives high attention to Arabic Learning In This Rase, It is one of 13 Junior high Schools In Aceh Besar which still Implements School-Based Curriculum (KTSP) in Teaching learning process. That is why, the write intended to conduct a Research under the title “ The Analysis of Arabic Material in School-Based Curriculum design” The present research was aimed to Find Out : 1) The Obstacle Faced by the Teacher in transferring the material in school-Based Curriculum design, 2) The Strength and weakness Of School-Based Curriculum method, and 3) The analysis of Arabic learning from cognitive, effective and Psikomotor view in School-Based Curriculum design. Descriptive Qualitative design was used in this research so that the writer used Questionnaire, Observation, and Interview to collect the data needed. Furthermore, all students (24 students) of grade VIII were become the sample of this research. After Conducting the research, it was Found that : 1) most of the Teachers had lack understanding toward the School-Based Curriculum it self. It was caused by the Curriculum was not a perfect design and still need a futher development: 2) Lack of understanding in “Nahwu and Qawai’id” material was one of the weakness of KTSP in cognitive. It made The Students hard to master the method of giving the line, gathering new vocabularies and expression. Thus, it led them to be unable to speak Arabic, Affectively, the Students were more exsited to learn Arabic with School-Based Curriculum design, in psikomotor aspect, the writer found that students had good Capability in Performing “ istima’kalamQira’ah and Khitabah”. They also tonded to motivate each other. 3) After Conducting observation, Interview and Questionnare, It was also found that the Material of Arabic Language in School-Based Curriculum did not meet to Students need.


Outcome Based Education (OBE) is now a days becoming a mandate in almost all higher educational institutions across the country as it turned out to be an authorized signatory member of Washington Accord (WA) in 2014 through the National Board of Accreditation (NBA). The fundamental concept of outcome-based education is to ensure continuous improvement at all levels of teaching – learning – assessment process. Though there are several programmes were organized to build the competency of OBE, the present traces of implementation of OBE in educational institutions clearly demonstrate the lack of understanding the real implementation of OBE and strictly it is a serious concern. Even these traces are observed in the programs, which are accredited. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to enable the stakeholders to truly understand some of the basic elements of OBE, which will really help them to deploy the philosophy of OBE in the way it is expected for continuous improvement.

Technology has brought a lot of change in the world of business and governance. It is also changing the world of education. Now traditional mode of lecture is getting replaced by flipped classroom mode of teaching learning. This paper aims to analyze the effectiveness of flipping a part of Marketing Management I course content of a postgraduate programme, to the teaching learning process at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow. The present study is successful to the extent of implementation of flipped classroom mode partially in a course. Further it may be expanded to larger percentage of the course and subsequently to more courses in the overall programme.

Outcome based education (OBE) is a recent development in student-centered teaching-learning model that emphases on measuring student performance through outcomes. Outcomes include knowledge, skills and attitudes suggested in Blooms taxonomy. The OBE approach encourages students to become active learners because it focusses on student attainment in comparison to teacher-centered learning approach. The level of the attainment of Course Outcomes (COs) is the indicator of the skill, knowledge and behavior that students acquired at the end of the course. In Outcome Based Education every activity performed in the class room is linked with the measurable course outcomes. In this paper, we present an effective fuzzy based approach to assess the attainment of outcomes by mapping every assessment activity performed in the class room with the Course Outcomes (CO) and eventually to Program Outcomes (PO). The attainments of outcomes by the students are also expressed as fuzzy memberships which can also be represented graphically. The entire work is based on the OBE implementation case study of Marian College Kuttikkanam, (MCK)

It is not uncommon for language teachers and whoever interested in EFL teaching- learning process to find it somehow difficult to decide upon the most suitable and effective strategy and procedures to be followed in order to manage language classes successfully. However, several attempts were made to introduce up to date ways convenient for learners with different language backgrounds and levels of achievements. Some of those efforts failed while others made their way and contributed to the success of many EFL classes where various methods and techniques are applied. Multimodal texts ,as one strategy of combining more than one mode in language classes, are used efficiently by teachers with different qualifications and years of experience and with learners of different ages and in different settings. Therefore, this chapter tends to shed light on multimodal texts and their importance in the language classes.

National Board of Accreditation, India has become the signatories of the Washington Accord adopting outcome based education guidelines in order to impart the quality education in engineering institutes [14]. Outcome Based education (OBE) requires thorough assessment and evaluation of the students individually, with special focus on the overall development of the students. OBE is based more on student centric learning and less on the role of a faculty or the content part (taught) which requires modifications at grass root level in the University teaching learning scheme. It demands a transition of a lecturer into a facilitator. It also requires a paradigm shift in teaching learning process in engineering education (EE) system as OBE focuses more on development of all the three learning domains, contradictory to the traditional teaching learning process which focuses more on development of the cognitive domain and psychomotor domain only. According to the World Bank Report, the modern volatile and complex world demands from the engineers the core employability skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity and innovation, collaboration skill, communication skill which must be developed and honed during the course tenure so that they could become competent global engineers [2] [3]. This paper brings forth the out of box thinking and implementation concept of the OBE for UG program, through activity based students’ engagement, specially designed activity to achieve Programme Educational Outcomes (PEOs), Programme Outcomes (POs) and Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs). It intends to solve the problem of large classes through the implementation of the FLIP classroom model. A six month activity based teaching learning model had been adopted for different streams, involving more than 1500 engineering students. The outcome/s achieved by each activity had been termed as Activity Outcomes (AOs). This paper discusses the problems encountered during the implementation of OBE frame work for large class [4] in context with Indian environment and also strives to provide some methods to implement activity based learning to achieve desirable outcomes.

Evaluation is an essential process for the measurement of transformation that a student attains after a teaching learning process. Outcome-based education (OBE) in academics especially in the field of engineering is an accepted philosophy in recent years. The OBE system departs from the traditional method where assessment of students is based only on grades and/or ranks. Output has been the traditional measurement criterion in education field, which does not address the level of transformation in the learner, whereas outcome is the measurement of level of achievement showing the transformation. Assessment tools are required for the measurement of outcome. These tools could be direct tools for direct assessment or indirect tools for indirect assessment. An assessment can be a formative assessment or summative assessment. Learning is complete only if transformation is observable in all the vital aspects of attitude, skill, and knowledge. It is widely accepted that all these aspects can be measured in OBE.

This article is a discipline-based exploration of the possibilities and prospects of outcome-based education (OBE) in the teaching–learning process of political science at the under graduate level. Developing knowledge-empowered citizenry with critical political consciousness that enables it public policy debates is the key purposes of teaching political science. A serious deficit of the present mode of teacher/curriculum centric teaching–learning process, which fails the cause of imparting such qualities equipping the learner in developing self-critical/self-reflexive knowledge base, is the absence of analytical faculty and criticality. This article seeks to demonstrate the pedagogic advantages and quality assurance plausible in the political science higher education of India through the implementation of OBE.
