“…Considering the current study, there are three sponsor stakeholders like the government regulatory commission on higher education, the legislated body that administers the board examination, and the industry as a consumer of the professional services. These forces are mirrored in the recent studies that consider them as inputs in curriculum development (Klongvessa, 2011;Kim, 2012;Hegde & Rao, 2015). Churchman and Woodhouse (1998) explained that in some professions with one sponsor stakeholder, the degree of pressure may be moderate.…”

A curriculum does not exist in a void; internal members play a key role in responding to the different forces that continually shape it. One of the approaches to evaluation is through internal evaluation from the perspective of the inside members who work with the curriculum. However, the internal evaluation may pose restricted evaluation due to the innate subjective human judgment. Considering these contexts, this paper performed a pilot internal evaluation of a selected aspect of a higher education curriculum using a triangulation mixed method design called the data transformation model. Based on the results, the evaluation using the data transformation model probed important points of agreement and discrepancy in the data sets. The implications for evaluation theory and curriculum practice are discussed. It is suggested that an extension of the current formative internal evaluation continuing the tradition of data transformative model but progressively focusing on larger aspects of the curriculum should be further conducted.

“…An analysis of the statements of institutional philosophy was considered as the starting point of most processes of developing the outcomes in half of the studies in this current review (see Doria, 2017;Davis et al, 2017;Hegde & Rao, 2015;Kim, 2012). An institution has a philosophy expressed in its mission, vision, and values that are supposed to be reflected down in the curriculum.…”

“…There appeared to be two approaches in considering industry demands as a source of outcomes in curriculum development. One approach is a direct approach in which industry stakeholders such as employers, parents, and students were invited to discuss their expectations of the graduates (Hegde & Rao, 2015). On the other hand, another approach is an indirect approach that examined relevant documents that indicate industry needs such as entry-level jobs, key performance areas, and company development programs to draw the outcomes of the curriculum (Vedhathiri, 2010).…”

Outcomes Based Education, widely known as OBE, has become a curriculum byword across the disciplinary spectrum in higher education. However, despite the growing scholarly effort to account for the processes undertaken in developing a curriculum that is hinged on the outcomes, a functional synthesis of the sources of outcomes has not been made. This paper attempted to synthesize the sources of outcomes drawn from the field. Following the systematic review method, relevant studies were searched, collected, and analyzed. It emerged in the result that multiple sources were considered in making decisions about the outcomes. These sources of outcomes include regulatory bodies, institutional philosophy, industry demands, subject matter experts, curriculum benchmarks, and learning frameworks. It further found out that, in considering particular sources of outcomes in curriculum development, the unique contexts play an essential role. Thus, it is recommended that an examination of the experiences, resources, and demands should be carefully made, so that appropriate sources of outcomes may be considered. The implications to theory, practice, and research are discussed in the paper.

“…In the late 1990s, teaching reform based on OBE was implemented in Canada, the United States, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia. At the same time, there have been many studies based on OBE curriculum reform in different disciplines, such as the study on English curriculum (Berlach & O'Neill, 2008), the study on industrial training (Osman et al, 2009), research on engineering curriculum (Hegde & Rao, 2015), etc.…”

This study employed a questionnaire survey method and utilised the Self-Determination Theory as a theoretical framework to simulate students’ “needs”. The aim was to investigate the impact of OBE-based teaching reform on students’ academic achievement, satisfaction, autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The study used a quasi-experimental research design with 80 students from Changzhi Medical College as the sample and found that OBE teaching can improve students’ academic achievement, especially for middle and low-performance students. It can improve students’ satisfaction with the course and relatedness experience.
