EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT -
the OBE way
Why do we need to
measure/assess?
OBE
ASSESSMENT:
Processes that identify, collect, use and
prepare data for evaluation of achievement
of programme outcomes or educational
objectives.
EVALUATION:
Processes for interpretation of data and
evidence from assessment practices that
determine the program outcomes are
achieved or result in actions to improve
programme.
OBE

Performance Criteria

Continual Quality Improvement
• Assessment and evaluation processes provide
critical information to faculty (lecturers) and
administrators on the effectiveness of the
design, delivery, and direction of an educational
program - CQI
• Improvements based on feedback from
evaluations will close the system loop and the
process will continue year after year.
