Principles in OBE
 1.
Clarity of focus
 A clear focus on what
teachers want students to
learn is the primary principle
in OBE.
The outcome of teaching is
learning.
To achieve this, the teacher
should identify the;
✣ Knowledge

DESIGNING
BACKWARDS
 At the beginning of a
curriculum design, the
learning outcome has to be
clearly defined.
What to achieve at the end of
formal schooling is
determined as the beginning.
Desicions are always traced
back to desired results.
 3.
HIGH
EXPECTATIONS
Establish high expectations,
challenging standards of
performance will encourage
students to learn better
 Successful learning,
promotes more successful
learning - Spady (1994)

EXPANDED
OPPORTUNITIES
In OBE, all students are
expected to excel, hence
equal expanded
opportunities should be
provided.
“Every child has a genius in
him/herself, hence is capable
of doing the best.”
 Learners develop inborn
potentials if corresponding
opportunities and support are
given to nurture.
