Abstract

Outcome Based Education (OBE) or student centered learning is one of the key component in quality assurance and enhancement in the higher education. The OBE approach encourages students to become active learner rather than being passive as in the traditional teacher-centered learning approach. In OBE, teacher is a facilitator of the teaching learning process; therefore the quality of teaching learning process does not depends on how a Lecturer teaches the course, but on the skill or knowledge achieved by the students. The level of the attainment of Course Level Outcomes (CLOs) is the indicator of the skill, knowledge and behavior that students acquired at the end of the course. Therefore each and every activity conducted in the classroom has to be reflected in the assessment of course outcome, which is measurable. In this paper, an efficient way of assessing the course learning outcome using Fuzzy Logic is presented. The uniqueness of the method is it will give an accurate measure to assess the attainment level of the course by considering every parameter enabling the learning process.

Highlights

The student centered learning motivates the students to become more responsible for their learning by involving themselves 100% in the teaching learning process
Course Level Outcomes (CLOs) give a clear picture on the knowledge and the skill achieved by the student at the end of the course
It does not depend onwhat the course Instructor (CI) teaches in the class‘, rather it depends onwhat knowledge students acquired and what they are able to do‘

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The student centered learning motivates the students to become more responsible for their learning by involving themselves 100% in the teaching learning process. CLOs give a clear picture on the knowledge and the skill achieved by the student at the end of the course It does not depend onwhat the course Instructor (CI) teaches in the class‘, rather it depends onwhat knowledge students acquired and what they are able to do‘. It focuses on the best way for individuals and organizations to get self-knowledge about where they are and what they want to be [4,5]. The focus is not to assign a grade, but assess the level of attainment of the learning outcomes based on fuzzy modelling approach.
