Outcome-Based Assessment

Outcome-Based Assessment (OBA) is an educational approach that focuses on measuring what students can demonstrate they know and can do after a learning experience. Instead of just looking at how well they memorize facts, OBA evaluates whether students can apply their knowledge to real-world situations or solve problems. In the context of general knowledge, this means assessing a learner’s ability to integrate and use information across various subjects and situations, ensuring they have a practical understanding of concepts rather than just theoretical knowledge. Ultimately, it aims to ensure meaningful learning and skill development.
