The document outlines criteria for assessing teachers' understanding of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), including utilizing interactive teaching strategies, learner-centered instruction, formative and summative assessment, and giving feedback. It also provides questions that could be asked in an interview to determine if teachers integrate OBE premises and principles in their teaching practices and differentiate between traditional and OBE approaches.

assessment;
5. Give feedback to learners from time to time.
