A STUDY ON OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION AMONG BUSINESS ANALYTICS STUDENTS IN COIMBATORE

Abstract

Outcome based education (OBE) is student-centered instruction model that focuses on measuring student performance through outcomes. Outcomes include knowledge, skills and attitudes. Its focus remains on evaluation of outcomes of the program by stating the knowledge, skill and behavior a graduate is expected to attain upon completion of a program and after 4 – 5 years of graduation. In the OBE model, the required knowledge and skill sets for a particular engineering degree is predetermined and the students are evaluated for all the required parameters (Outcomes) during the course of the program. The OBE model measures the progress of the graduate in three parameters, which are: • Program Educational Objectives (PEO) • Program Outcomes (PO) • Course Outcomes (CO)
