OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION

Teaching is only teaching

if learners learn
It is the responsibility of
the teachers to construct
meaningful learning
experiences that lead
to the mastery of
outcomes
Your main focus should
be on learning rather
than teaching.
 Students cannot learn if they do not
think.
Thinking is facilitated and
encouraged by the process that you
use to engage students with the
content, as well as by the content
itself.
Your subject does not exist in
isolation you have to help students
make LINKS to other subjects.
You have a responsibility to help
students LEARN HOW TO LEARN
 You cannot assume that all students
will learn equally well from an
instructional strategy you choose.
You cannot assume that all students
will learn the same things in any
fixed period of time.
If you are to help all students to
achieve the outcomes, you must be
flexible in the way that you teach
and in the expectations that you
have for each student at any
particular time
 When teaching is focused on students
achievement of particular outcomes, it
is necessary to consider the knowledge,
skills, attitudes and preconceptions that
students have prior to instruction.
Teachers must consider their own
knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant
to the outcomes, because these will
influence how teaching is approached
Additional factors such as the resources
that are available, and any constraints
must also be considered
 Successful learning for all students is
both the starting point and the bottom
line of outcomes-based planning.
Start by assessing the students
prerequisite knowledge and skills; if
they do not understand essential prior
knowledge, or if they do not have the
skills on which you want to build, you
must provide instruction on these
prerequisites.
Prepare the students by explaining the
outcomes that they are to achieve and
why you want them to achieve these
outcomes.
 provide whatever forms of
whole-class instruction or
individual/ group work you
consider will have the best chance
of enabling all the students to
achieve mastery
organise guided practice for the
students so that they can be
evaluated informally and provided
with feedback to enhance their
learning.
