Abstract [en]
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is widely recognized for its goal-oriented approach in education. The key elements of outcome-based education are learning outcomes which are measured at student, course, program, and institution levels. The evaluation of learning outcomes is usually performed manually in isolation which leads to several issues like assessment delays and impaired judgement. Furthermore, integration of OBE techniques with existing Learning Management System (LMS) becomes impracticable. To handle such issues, in this article, we propose a framework comprising Metamodel for streamlining evaluation processes of OBE. Moreover, a set of text-to-model transformations is implemented for the automatic gen-eration of high-level models from traditional documents containing information about students, courses, grades etc. Furthermore, the model-to-text transformations are implemented to generate the target model in JAVA for the assessment of learning outcomes. This facilitates OBE evaluation straightforwardly. The efficacy of the framework is validated through a case study conducted within the Department of Software Engineering at University of AJK. The results are encouraging, and OBE assessment is successfully performed for software engineering courses.
