Abstract

The adoption of outcome-based education (OBE) is crucial for the higher learning education system since it mandates that the curriculum be created based on the targeted skills, knowledge, and attributes of the students by the time their graduate. Since the PEO, PO, and CO must be measured and analyzed as part of OBE measurement, a variety of tools from simple spreadsheets to sophisticated computing application tools have been developed to help educators easily manage and integrate OBE into the curriculum. This paper presents the development of outlines the OBE POA management tools that focused on students’ which include PO achievement analysis. The OBE POA managing presented tools used input from course PO mapping, OBE ANAS results and course assessment list. The designed system is useful to represent the students’ PO-Course-Assessment mapping for previous and upcoming courses offered by the student's curriculum program. This resulted to aid the academic advisor in managing and making plans to meet the desired indicator of all PO assigned by the institution. As a result, this tool greatly enhances advisors’ ability to supervise their advisees’ academic plans and establish strong relationships with them.
