- Summary:
-
Wisconsin has been exploring educational targets or outcomes since 1992 in conjunction with legislation mandating student assessment. While the establishment of outcomes does not necessarily indicate that a school subscribes to an outcome-based education (OBE) philosophy, the two could go together. OBE requires identification of outcomes prior to instruction, instruction related to specific outcomes, and demonstration of identified outcomes. Reaching consensus on the outcomes that are important is difficult for any school district. The relationship between the state's desired outcomes and OBE was studied in a survey completed by 42 Wisconsin school districts. Forty percent of responding districts are in the process of identifying outcomes, although only eight actually call them"outcomes." Most districts are familiar with the state's desired outcomes, but the linkage between state and district outcomes is low. Finally, the majority of districts do not consider themselves OBE. Only two call themselves OBE districts, while four say they adopt some OBE philosophy. An appendix contains the survey instrument. (Contains 13 references.) (SLD)
