 Learning Principles of
OBE
Spady gave four basic principles:
 Clarity of focus
- Teachers must be clearly focused on what they want
students to know, understand and be able to do.

 Designing down
- Once the intended outcomes are clear, teachers
now design instruction.
 High expectation
- Teachers should establish high,
challenging standards of performance.

 Expanded opportunities
- Teachers must strive to provide expanded
opportunities for all students
Traditional/Transitional

OBE
Traditional/Transitional Approach

traditional subject-related academic
outcomes and some cross-discipline
outcomes.
Transformational Approach
- emphasizes long term, cross-
curricular outcomes that are related
directly to students’ future life roles
