Short Discussion:
In the past, teachers mainly lectured, and students memorized facts. This Instruction-Based
Education (IBE) model focused on covering material and standardized testing. Today, Outcome-
Based Education (OBE) has changed this. Teachers now guide students to understand concepts
and achieve specific goals. Students engage actively, collaborate, and solve problems.
Instruction is flexible and adapts to students' needs. Assessment emphasizes skills and real-
world application. This shift empowers students to take charge of their learning, preparing
them for success in today's dynamic world
