The Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) Framework of ISPSC and the College of

Computing Studies is profoundly anchored in developing professionals who are ingrained with
values and competence in science and technology at its core in order to meaningfully respond
to the needs of the community in both local and global contexts. Adhering to its education
philosophy of ensuring student success, the outcomes of the institution, program and course
levels are pivoted on a leaner-centered standpoint to support the vision, mission and core
values of Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College for continuous quality education, and
improvement mechanisms that shall persistently be devised and revised in its unrelenting
quest to produce graduates in congruence with globally acceptable competitiveness
standards in Information Technology Education.

OBE is an educational process which is focused on attaining what the individual

student can and must do with what he or she may know and acquire. The OBE approach
revolves around three components: (1) outcomes – the educational aim and values, (2)
teaching, learning and assessment methods – the methodology to enable the intended
learning of students, (3) criteria – how learning is assessed in relation to the expected
outcome.

2
 The inputs for the framework includes feedbacks from stakeholders (students, parents,
alumni, employees, governing board, and other clients) and other external parties (LGUs,
NGOs, NGAs, partner agencies/institutions, quality assurance bodies, and other parties). The
inputs are processed in the PDCA Cycle and the expected outcome is highly skilled and
globally competitive graduates imbued with values and virtues possessing a deep sense of
commitment towards the improvement of the quality of life of the people and the communities.

The College of Computing Studies OBE framework is anchored on the Continuous

Improvement Model which employs the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle. The PDCA Cycle strives to
discover relevant contemporary alternative to incessantly develop the learners for a better

3
advancement of graduate placement destinations. The CCS Continuous Improvement Model
applies the PDCA cycle in the following steps:

1. Plan: Outcomes-Based Education Design – With the consideration of inputs from the
internal constituents (faculty, staff and students) and external stakeholders (industry and
the qualification, regulatory standards and professional bodies), the following are
established: (1) institutional vision, mission and core values statements; (2) institutional
outcomes; (3) program educational objectives; (4) student/program outcomes and (5)
course outcomes. The feedback mechanism is integrated in the review and updating of
syllabi and delivery process of the course.

2. Do: OBTL Delivery Process – The are composed of the appropriate learning environment
and sufficient resources and support structure: (1) administration of human and material
resources such as admin, faculty and staff development, library and laboratory facilities,
educational technology; (2) internal/external stakeholders support from alumni, parents,
community; and (3) the learning culture, core values and subsystems which include but
not limited to wide-range of policies and procedures of the college. The process then calls
for a good design of syllabi, teaching approach, learning methods and facilities and
assessment mechanisms.

3. Check: Assessment and Evaluation – The OBE system in teaching delivery and learning
process and their evaluation thereof are regularly monitored vis-à-vis the predetermined
key performance indicator in key result areas at various level in the institution, program
outcome and course outcome. Focus group discussion with industry advisory panel,
graduate tracer, competency survey, trainings and other direct and indirect assessment
are to be conducted.

4. Act: Enforcement of the OBE Development – Formulating and carrying our appropriate
and timely actions to revise and realign syllabus, curricula and formal results from the
assessment and evaluation are expected to attain higher extent of student outcomes.
