Abstract

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has been recognized as a leading pedagogical approach in higher education, focusing on achieving desired learning outcomes. Despite its significant potential for educational reform, the implementation of OBE often faces substantial challenges, including misalignment between expected learning outcomes and existing teaching practices, resource shortages, and resistance to change from faculty and administration. This study aims to identify and analyze the primary challenges in the implementation of OBE in higher education and to propose strategic measures to address these issues. An integrated approach, involving curriculum adjustments, enhanced faculty training, and improvements in assessment systems, is examined to enhance the effectiveness of OBE implementation. The study's findings indicate that a more adaptive OBE implementation model can address the challenges faced by higher education institutions
