Design of an Outcome-Based Education Assessment Plan for Student Outcomes: Basis for the Development of Assessment Tools

Good output is the product of good transformation process. An assessment that is correctly planned and well executed helps in the overall development of the learning process of the learners and an important indicator of the quality of the product of the school. The knowledge acquired by the students could be measured with the use of different assessment techniques with the ability to measure the learning based on the real-world environments. This study aimed to develop an assessment process flowchart, formulate fair and measurable performance indicators anchored to student outcomes, determine the formative and summative courses to be assessed to satisfy the performance indicators, provide assessment methods, assessment targets and performance targets for the formulation of the improvements with expected higher degrees of attainment of the program educational objectives, and determine the cycle assessment. Internal desk research method was utilized to analyze and interpret the gathered information necessary for the study. Results showed that there were 12 steps to follow for effective assessment, each student outcomes were provided with at least 2 performance indicators, formative and summative courses were identified for the assessment, assessment and evaluation for formative and summative courses were developed to measure how well the students can utilize their learning on the real world scenario, and two-year- assessment cycle was developed to ensure continuous monitoring of the results to ensure quality.
