• Assessing student achievement without considering the desired outcomes

• Ignoring learning outcomes and focusing only on teaching methods

Explain the role of assessment in OBE.

• Assessment in OBE is not necessary for providing feedback.

• Assessment in OBE has no relation to learning outcomes.

• Assessment in OBE is only for grading purposes.

• Assessment in OBE measures the achievement of learning outcomes and provides feedback for improvement.

Upon completion of programme (graduation), what outcomes should the students have?

• Course Learning Outcomes (CLO)
• Lesson Learning Outcomes (LLO)
• Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO)
• Programme Educational Objectives (PEO)

At the last stage of OBE, what is it that we are evaluating?

• Whether the teacher taught well.
• Whether the topics were covered.
• Whether the learning outcomes were achieved.
• Whether the students completed all the assignments.

• Ensures that the learning outcomes, assessment methods, and teaching strategies are all in sync with each other.

• It has no significance in OBE

• It is only important for teaching strategies

• It only applies to assessment methods

Upon completion of programme (graduation), what outcomes should the students have?

• Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO)

• Course Learning Outcomes (CLO)

• Lesson Learning Outcomes (LLO)

• Programme Educational Objectives (PEO)

What is the desired level of thinking about teaching?

• What students are

• What teachers do

• What students do

• What teachers are

How does the LO help students?

• Know what outcomes are expected of them and at what what level of expected mastery.
