An assessment of level of preparedness among the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences in a Philippine University for the implementation of outcomes-based education

An assessment of level of preparedness among the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences in a Philippine university for the implementation of OBE is an institutional research which was conducted in aid of preparations for a series of faculty development trainings. 72 faculty members were surveyed using a validated researcher designed instrument to measure dimensions of preparedness that included OBE concepts, assessments, learning outcomes, strategies and overall faculty disposition to the framework. The results and discussions point to the current status of faculty preparedness levels to be very low and therefore the need for an andragogy-based change-model to facilitate improvement in OBE faculty preparedness in the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).
