This document provides an overview of outcome-based education (OBE). It discusses that OBE is a student-centered approach that focuses on empirically measuring student performance outcomes rather than inputs like resources. While OBE does not specify teaching styles, it generally promotes constructivist methods over direct instruction. Assessment is based on whether students demonstrate required skills and content mastery. Implementation of OBE varies by country and agency, with some adopting it for all students and others facing criticism from parents and teachers.

ABSTRACT
Test constructed by the teacher at the class room leve l at the end of a term or end of the year is referred to as school based examination (SBE) student often perform well in the SBE because items are drawn from topic covered by the class teacher. This study is to find out the predictive validity of SBE in relation to NECO and WAEC, SSCE. The population of the study was all (670) senior secondary school in Borno state. Student performance in SBE and WAEC and NECO in English language and history in senior secondary school in 2006, 2007 and 2008 were correlated. Purposive sampling was used in selecting the school. At the time of this study only three school were found to be offering English language but not history) one school in Gwoza zone and two in Maiduguri zone. These three schools were used as samples. The result of the analysis revealed that student’s performance SSCE IN WAEC and SSCE NECO was low but there performance in SBE is high. The student performance is low in English in NECO and WAEC because no student score A or B grade for the three years in school studied. While no student obtained A or B in NECO and WAEC, the student performance in history for the three years show that few student obtained A and B grades the researcher recommend that teacher in senior secondary schools should be made to go for workshops on test construction so that they can construct good test items to match WAEC and NECO standard.
FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING ON EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGE...ijejournal
Educational policy generating 21st-century skills is accelerating, but Chinese education still employs traditional teaching such as memorizing and test-based instructional practices. The pencil and paper tests, no matter how sophisticated, are hard-pressed to measure interpersonal, intrapersonal skills, and the penetration of educational core values into secondary schools internationally, which is weak. This article aims to navigate the secondary school challenges and proposed reforms through analyzing the over 20 years of the author's experience. Findings show that high stakes cause teachers, school principals, parents, and students to disincentivize deeper learning. The exam-oriented teaching and learning approach causes students who might obtain a high score but lower functional performance. Parents' high hopes cause educational inequality and restrict students to develop their skills. Worse, the school principal utilized the power and authority in leading school development and evaluated teachers' performance based on students' test scores that force teachers to demand students to complete the mock practices and test. Because of test-based accountability, the study suggested that secondary school in China necessitates to abolish the "Gaokao" system instead of using a whole-personal assessment. The school leadership needs to shift from bureaucratic management to transformational, Junzi, and adaptive leadership. School principals advocate parents' commitment and deliver a quality of education to secondary school students. Therefore, future research explores how the "Gaokao" system causes inequality and impacts 21st-century skills for secondary school students' academic, emotional, and behavioral development through a comparative mixed research design.
A PATH ANALYTICAL MODEL ON FACTORS WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CIVIC EDUCATION...ijejournal
The height of moral decadence of adolescent is a worrying development that may degenerate to uncontrolled situation if not checked. The crime rate and other civic problems in the society cannot be clearly linked to any particular cause, hence, the need to explore the underlying principle behind this horrible fashion. This problem prompts this study on factors with teachers’ implementation of civic education curriculum in secondary schools in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study adopted cross sectional survey design approach. A total number of all the 510 civic education teachers in public Secondary Schools in Calabar Education Zone of Cross River State in 2019/2020 academic session were used for the study. A self-developed 60-item Questionnaire was used for data collection. The data analysis was subjected to Structural Equation Modeling using Analysis of MOment of Structure to generate a path analytical model and data analysis at .05 level of significance. The result revealed that there were significant direct predictive effects between teacher’s supervision, teacher’s knowledge of subject matter and teachers’ attitude and the implementation of civic education curriculum. It was recommended among others that teachers should advance their knowledge by enrolling further in academic programmes as well as engage in in-service training to update their knowledge for a better academic outcome of the students.

In the past few years, Mathematics performance among secondary school learners in Meru County has been decreasing. The current study aims to evaluate various administrative strategies used by principals and their effects on learners’ grade attainment in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Educationin Meru County. The study examines ways through which principals support mathematics teachers through trainings, seminars, workshops and how the support is translated into students’ performance. The study adopted ex post facto design to collect data and analyze the information for conclusion. The researcher analyzed KCSE data over the previous 5 years in Meru County, interviewed the principals, and designed questionnaire for Mathematics teachers. A total of 836 Mathematics teachers and 299 principals across the county were targeted.Using stratified and random sampling, only 251 Mathematics teachers and 92 principals were engaged, which accounts for only 30% of the target. The researcher used split half technique to test reliability and instrument piloting to ensure validity of the data. The study concluded that principals provided little support to Mathematics teachers to attend seminars and workshops. However, principals defended this by citing low resource budget allocations and inadequate resources to support teachers’ seminars and workshops. The findings of the current study can be used by education ministry, school administrator, teachers, and other stakeholders during the decision-making.
Primary education in Kenya is divided into two levels: lower and upper primary. Successful transition of pupils to upper primary in an education system is dependent on pupils’ masterly of lower primary curriculum. Lower primary curriculum masterly gaps, therefore implies that pupils may encounter challenges in upper primary which may translate to low quality achievement of pupils in upper primary. This appears to be the case in Kenya in general and Nakuru County in particular if pupils’ performance in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exit examination is anything to go by. Although level of pupils’ preparedness is dependent on many factors, the study zeroed in on school social capital for it was construed as a critical correlate for quality learning in lower primary. Using an ex-post facto research design, data were collected from 254 class three teachers in Nakuru County through a personally delivered questionnaire and subsequently analysed using simple regression statistic at 0.05 alpha level. The analysis revealed a linear but insignificant relationship (F= 3.491; df= 253; P>.05) between school social capital and level of pupils’ preparedness for upper primary in the study locale. The study further showed that the beta value (β= -0.019) was negative and statistically insignificant (t= -0.310; P> 0.05). This finding implied that the selected aspects of social capital had a negative effect on pupils’ preparedness for upper primary although the impact was not statistically significant. The adjusted R2 value (R2= 0.0031) further indicated that the focused facets of school social capital only accounted for 0.31% of variation in pupils’ preparedness for upper primary. The study offers useful insights on how schools can build social capital with a view to enhancing their capacity to effectively prepare pupils’ for upper primary and thereby raise their chances of excelling in the KCPE examination.

Ton Mooij & Geert Driessen (2008) BJEP Differential ability and attainment.pdfDriessen Research
Background. In preschool and primary education, pupils differ in many abilities and
competences (giftedness). Yet mainstream educational practice seems rather
homogeneous in providing age-based or grade–class subject matter approaches.
Aims. To clarify whether pupils scoring initially at high ability level do develop and
attain differently at school with respect to language and arithmetic compared with
those displaying other initial ability levels. To investigate whether specific individual,
family, or educational variables covary with the attainment of these different types of
pupils in school.
Samples. Data from the large-scale PRIMA cohort study including a total of 8,258
Grades 2 and 4 pupils from 438 primary schools in The Netherlands.
Methods. Secondary analyses were carried out to construct gain scores for both
language and arithmetic proficiency and a number of behavioural, attitudinal, family,
and educational characteristics. The pupils were grouped into four different ability
categories (highly able, able, above average, average or below average). Further analyses
used Pearson correlations and analyses of variance both between- and within-ability
categories. Cross-validation was done by introducing a cohort of younger pupils in
preschool and grouping both cohorts into decile groups based on initial ability in
language and arithmetic.
Results. Highly able pupils generally decreased in attainment in both language and
arithmetic, whereas pupils in average and below-average groups improved their
language and arithmetic scores. Only with highly able pupils were some educational
characteristics correlated with the pupils’ development in achievement, behaviour, and
attitudes.
Conclusions. Preschool and primary education should better match pupils’
differences in abilities and competences from their start in preschool to improve
their functioning, learning processes, and outcomes. Recommendations for educational
improvement strategies are presented at the end of the article.
Initial Assessment on Higher Education Exit of SHS Andresians A Descriptive S...ijtsrd
One of the K”“12 curriculums primary objectives is to provide learners ample time to adjust and acquire the abilities for the desired exit. The learners are expected to move on to middle level skill development, entrepreneurship, or college. Yet, concerns are raised about the curriculum offering the instructions needed to help learners build the skills necessary to be successful in their chosen careers. With an initial evaluation, this study seeks to ascertain the level of readiness of the Don Andres Soriano National High School Senior High School Grade 12 learners for the school year 2022 2023 to pursue the various Senior High School exits. A comparative descriptive research design was used for this quantitative study of 227 randomly chosen Grade 12 margin of error of 0.05 . Scaling and multiple choice questionnaires similar to those used on college entrance exams were the two types of questionnaires used in this study. Results indicated that the majority of learner respondents wanted to continue their education after high school. Also, statistics revealed that competency learners primarily excelled in independent learning. Ironically, the self manage ability is the one that needs the most development in order to move on to college. The null hypothesis is rejected since only 56.64 of learner respondents chose to pursue higher education and passed the college exam. The learners are not prepared to proceed on their chosen senior high school exit. Thus, this survey found that learners are still not prepared to move on to their preferred senior high school exit. It implies that more training and learning reinforcement may be deemed necessary to further improve Senior High School learners. Gica M. Tugbong | Kent Lancer C. Alistre | Gerald A.

Geert Driessen (2022) Encyclopedia A healthy socioemotional foundation in edu...Driessen Research
In the early school years, the emphasis is more and more on cognitive output factors. Non-cognitive development is receiving less attention than before, though such factors are important determinants of academic success. This study focuses on socioemotional characteristics, more specifically, on attitudes, behavior, and relationships of 6500 grade 2 pupils who participated in the representative Dutch large-scale cohort study COOL5-18. The results showed that the teachers rated their pupil’s work attitude as lower than their behavior and popularity. They were more positive regarding their relationship with the pupils. More important was that there were differences according to the pupils’ social and ethnic/immigrant backgrounds: ethnic minority/immigrant pupils scored less positive on all non-cognitive characteristics than native Dutch pupils, and the higher the parental educational level, the more favorable their children performed on the non-cognitive characteristics. These findings are discussed and possible solutions are presented.

For this week’s discussion, the question still arises if adopting .docxericbrooks84875
For this week’s discussion, the question still arises if adopting a set of standards limits or improves education for all students. This question will be answered through the lens of a classroom teacher. Using the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as an example, as a teacher, I may have mixed emotions towards adopting a set of standards. During the adoption of CCSS, teachers were not provided with a trial period to measure the effectiveness of CCSS; this, in turn, did not provide teachers with concrete evidence that the CCSS were designed to execute their goals intended for student success (Laureate Education, 2014c).
As an educator, I am going to wonder how a set of standards will support the needs of my English Language Learner (ELL) students. For ELLs, it is imperative that instruction builds upon students’ academic English and social English. Acquiring knowledge of academic language is essential for ELLs because it is related to standards-based curriculum in math, science, social studies, and language arts (Colorín Colorado, n.d.).
For Special Education (SPED) students, I would have to work closely with SPED teachers to provide instruction that reflects the exceptionalities of my students. Raising expectations for all students is a positive in that supports must be used to ensure such goals are attainable for all students. For instance, professional developments can be provided to teachers where they can learn how to apply instructional strategies that reflect the goal of CCSS and the needs of students. However, concerns arise in preparation. When adopting a set of standards, an emphasis on the resources needed for SPED students must be known and accessible to teachers. Without this, the expectation of wanting all students to be college and career ready may not follow-through effectively (Laureate Education, 2014a).
I believe the information provided in documents 5 – 8 of this week’s resources provided reliable sources because as a teacher, I am going to wonder how teaching these standards will look like in a classroom with ELL or SPED students. Through these resources, I learned how ELLs academic language can be supported using Tier 2 instruction that promotes higher-order thinking skills, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving skills with additional supports provided in their home language (Laureate Education, 2014b). Additionally, I learned the importance of collaboration between general education and SPED teachers when ensuring instruction aligns with students’ academic needs to promote student success.
The next steps I might take to follow up on this information as a teacher would be to determine what resources are provided to teachers so that they can periodically assess student achievement throughout the year. With the adoption of CCSS came changes in high stakes testing. Issues with CCSS and testing were that tests were developed before standards could be implemented to reflect if student knowledge gained from standard-b.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Outcome-based Education
Methods of outcome-based education (OBE) are student-centered
learning methods that focus on empirically measuring student performance (the
"outcome"). OBE contrasts with traditional education, which primarily focuses on
the resources that are available to the student, which are called inputs. While OBE
implementations often incorporate a host of many progressive pedagogical models
and ideas, such as reform mathematics, block scheduling, project-based
learning andwhole language reading, OBE in itself does not specify or
require any particular style of teaching or learning. Instead, it requires the
students to demonstrate the skills and course content that they are required to
learn. However in practice, OBE generally promotes curricula and assessment based
on constructivist methods and discourages traditional educationapproaches based
on direct instruction of facts and standard methods.
Each independent education agency specifies its own outcomes and its own
methods of measuring student achievement according to those outcomes. The
results of these measurements can be used for different purposes. For example,
one agency may use the information to determine how well the overall education
system is performing, and another may use its assessments to determine whether
an individual student has learned required material.
Outcome-based methods have been adopted for large numbers of students
in several countries. In the United States, theTexas Assessment of Academic
Skills started in 1991. In Australia, implementation of OBE in Western
Australia was widely criticised by parents and teachers and was mostly dropped in
January 2007. In South Africa, OBE was dropped in mid-2010. On a smaller scale,
some OBE practices, such as not passing a student who does not know the required
material, have been used by individual teachers around the world for centuries.
OBE was a popular term in the United States during the 1980s and early
1990s. It is also called mastery education,performance-based education, and
other names.
2. The key features which may be used to judge if a system has implemented an
outcomes-based education systems are:
Creation of a curriculum framework that outlines specific, measurable
outcomes. The standards included in the frameworks are usually chosen through
the area's normal political process.
A commitment not only to provide an opportunity of education, but to require
learning outcomes for advancement. Promotion to the next grade, a diploma, or
other reward is granted upon achievement of the standards, while extra
classes, repeating the year, or other consequences entail upon those who do not
meet the standards.
Standards-based assessments that determines whether students have achieved
the stated standard. Assessments may take any form, so long as the
assessments actually measure whether the student knows the required
information or can perform the required task.
A commitment that all students of all groups will ultimately reach the same
minimum standards. Schools may not "give up" on unsuccessful students.
Difference with traditional education methods
In a traditional education system and economy, students are given grades
and rankings compared to each other. Content and performance expectations are
based primarily on what was taught in the past to students of a given age. The
basic goal of traditional education was to present the knowledge and skills of the
old generation to the new generation of students, and to provide students with an
environment in which to learn, with little attention (beyond the classroom teacher)
to whether or not any student ever learns any of the material. It was enough that
the school presented an opportunity to learn. Actual achievement was neither
measured nor required by the school system.
3. In fact, under the traditional model, student performance is expected to
show a wide range of abilities. The failure of some students is accepted as a
natural and unavoidable circumstance. The highest-performing students are given
the highest grades and test scores, and the lowest performing students are given
low grades. (Local laws and traditions determine whether the lowest performing
students were socially promoted or made to repeat the year.) Schools used norm-
referenced tests, such as inexpensive, multiple-choice computer-scored questions
with single correct answers, to quickly rank students on ability. These tests do not
give criterion-based judgments as to whether students have met a single standard
of what every student is expected to know and do: they merely rank the students
in comparison with each other. In this system, grade-level expectations are
defined as the performance of the median student, a level at which half the
students score better and half the students score worse. By this definition, in a
normal population, half of students are expected to perform above grade level and
half the students below grade level, no matter how much or how little the students
have learned.

WHAT IS THE K TO 12 PROGRAM?
The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six
years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years
of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts
and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education,
middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.
4. SALIENT FEATURES
Every Filipino child now has access to early childhood education through
Universal Kindergarten. At 5 years old, children start schooling and are given the
means to slowly adjust to formal education.
Research shows that children who underwent Kindergarten have better completion
rates than those who did not. Children who complete a standards-based
Kindergarten program are better prepared, for primary education.
Education for children in the early years lays the foundation for lifelong learning
and for the total development of a child. The early years of a human being, from 0
to 6 years, are the most critical period when the brain grows to at least 60-70
percent of adult size..
[Ref: K to 12 Toolkit]
In Kindergarten, students learn the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors through
games, songs, and dances, in their Mother Tongue.
5. Examples, activities, songs, poems,
stories, and illustrations are based on local culture, history, and reality. This makes
the lessons relevant to the learners and easy to understand.
Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through
continuity and consistency across all levels and subjects.
Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change
Adaptation, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) are included in the
enhanced curriculum.
6. Students are able to learn best
through their first language, their Mother Tongue (MT). Twelve (12) MT languages
have been introduced for SY 2012-2013: Bahasa Sug, Bikol, Cebuano, Chabacano,
Hiligaynon, Iloko, Kapampangan, Maguindanaoan, Meranao, Pangasinense, Tagalog,
and Waray. Other local languages will be added in succeeding school years.
Aside from the Mother Tongue, English and Filipino are taught as subjects starting
Grade 1, with a focus on oral fluency. From Grades 4 to 6, English and Filipino are
gradually introduced as languages of instruction. Both will become primary
languages of instruction in Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School
(SHS).
After Grade 1, every student can read in his or her Mother Tongue. Learning in
Mother Tongue also serves as the foundation for students to learn Filipino and
English easily.
7. Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to more complicated
concepts through grade levels in spiral progression. As early as elementary,
students gain knowledge in areas such as Biology, Geometry, Earth Science,
Chemistry, and Algebra. This ensures a mastery of knowledge and skills after each
level.
For example, currently in High School, Biology is taught in 2nd Year,
Chemistry in 3rd Year, and Physics in 4th Year. In K to 12, these subjects are
connected and integrated from Grades 7 to 10. This same method is used in other
Learning Areas like Math.
Senior High School is two years of specialized upper secondary education;
students may choose a specialization based on aptitude, interests, and school
capacity. The choice of career track will define the content of the subjects a
student will take in Grades 11 and 12. SHS subjects fall under either the Core
Curriculum or specific Tracks.
CORE CURRICULUM
There are seven Learning Areas under the Core Curriculum. These are
Languages, Literature, Communication, Mathematics, Philosophy, Natural Sciences,
and Social Sciences. Current content from some General Education subjects are
embedded in the SHS curriculum.
8. IMPLEMENTATION AND TRANSITION MANAGEMENT
IMPLEMENTATION
Program implementation in public schools is being done in phases starting SY
2012–2013. Grade 1 entrants in SY 2012–2013 are the first batch to fully undergo
the program, and current 1st year Junior High School students (or Grade 7) are
the first to undergo the enhanced secondary education program. To facilitate the
transition from the existing 10-year basic education to 12 years, DepEd is also
implementing the SHS and SHS Modeling.
TRANSITION FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS
9. Private schools craft their transition plans based on: (1) current/previous
entry ages for Grade 1 and final year of Kinder, (2) duration of program , and most
importantly, (3) content of curriculum offered.
http://www.gov.ph/k-12/
Subjects taught in K-12
The K-12 entails the addition of Music, Arts, Physical Education and Health
(MAPEH) subject in grades 1, 2 and 3 as well as Edukasyong Pagkakatao
(Edukasyong Pagpapahalaga in the old curriculum).
The program will reduce the minutes of teaching in Science from 360
minutes per week to 240 minutes, Mathematics, English, Technology and Livelihood
Education (TLE), MAPEH and Filipino, from 300 minutes a week to 240 minutes,
Araling Panlipunan to 180 minutes a week and Edukasyong Pagkatao to 120 minutes a
week.
This school year, mother-tongue based medium of instruction from
kindergarten to grade 3 will also be revived.
