1. Learning Outcome: Necessity or Imperative for Excellence

2. Outline Opening Remark Global Environment
Linkage of Higher Education and Growth
Indian Education Environment
Quality of Education and Demand Mismatch
Need for Higher education reform -Learning Outcome Centered
Teaching Insight through a course on Internet Application
Conclusion

3. Global Environment
By 2030,
India to be 3rd largest economy (GDP $13 trillion)
Global Growth in Service sector
Digitalization and Autonomous Systems in Manufacturing
Higher Skill-intensive job creation

4. Global Environment
By 2020,
Aging economies of US, China, Japan, Europe etc.
Requirement of 56 million trained service professional (health, Wealth and hospitality)
Assuming, India reaches higher education enrollment 40 million, we may fill the gap
Demand is for specialized Doers

5. Global Environment
By 2020,
Aging economies of US, China, Japan, Europe etc.
Requirement of 56 million trained service professional (health, Wealth and hospitality)
Assuming, India reaches higher education enrollment 40 million, we may fill the gap
Demand is for specialized competent “doers”
Opportunity for quality practitioners

6. Education as Key to Prosperity
Prosperity of a Nation depends on Effective Utilization of human and Material resources through industrialization and innovation
The use of human resources for innovation and industrialization depends on education in science and training in technical skills

7. Education as key to prosperity
ICI = ((HCI) Human Capital Indx+(TCI) Technological Capability Indx)/2
ICI - Innovation Cap Index
HCI = { Literacy rate as % of population * 1 + Secondary School Enrolment * 2 + Tertiary enrolment as % age group (wt. 3)} / 6
TCI = {R&D personnel pmp + US patents pmp + Scientific publication pmp} / 3

8. Empirically Countries that have high per capita GDP also are high on ICI
e.g., USA, Sweden, Japan, Norway, Switzerland top 15%
China inching up on ICI also on GDP
What about India?

9. Indian Higher Education Scenario
With 903 Universities
39050 Colleges
10011 Stand Alone Institution
The GER (18-23 years) is around 25.8% or 3.66 Crore
Thus on HCI parameter we have made significant gains.
The HCI parameter is an enabling parameter for TCI to go up
Patents
Publications and Citations
R &D personnels

10. Quality of Education in India
Quality of Education becomes important
If we take technical Education with around 3000 of colleges with intake capacity of around 15 Lakhs. (Only half the seats are filled)
Out of these IITs, NITS and Other good colleges produce ~45000.
True for all other Education sectors as well.
Adequate infrastructure, Lofty Learning Objectives, Low quality Output
In order for TCI to go up the education has to become learner centric

11. Learning Outcome Based Education
The process that tries to achieve certain specific outcomes in terms of student learning. Thus, Having decided what key things student should understand and be able to deliver.
The structure and curriculum are designed to ensure the qualities student should develop, and outcome is measured.
In Other Words, ensure
What do you want student to learn?
Why do you want to learn “it”?
How can we help them learn?
How will you know they have learnt?

12. The key to success lies in
Clearly identifying what student has to learn in advance
The student progress depends upon demonstrated achievements?
Multiple instructional and assessment strategies for varying outcome requirements
Adequate time and assistance required for each to reach the full potential

13. Learning Outcome Based Education
The Learning Outcome based education potentially raises the uniformity of quality.
Thus a country where out of 8 Lakhs enrollment in engineering only <50,000 employable/quality technical personnel
It will help in improving the quality and measuring the improvement of in potential of 7 Lakhs students
India as dual Challenge-
To enhance quality of education to make them employable
The enhancement of TCI to raise ICI.

14. Achieving Excellence in Higher Education
By identifying clearly, the requirement of industry, services, the Learning outcome based education, can help the bridging the Industry academia gaps and producing quality students that are employable, not only in India but may fill the global unfulfilled demand of around 50 million “doers”
By designing the right outcomes, OBE can produce potential problem solvers, thus raising the TCI and thus ICI.
Rise in ICI is empirically linked to prosperity as measured by per capita GDP.
