Abstract

Outcome-based education (OBE) is a prevalent educational system in many developed countries' universities. This study aims to elucidate the principles of OBE and examine the perceptions and practices of Afghan university lecturers regarding its implementation. Utilizing a mixed research approach, this study employed questionnaires and document analysis (course policies) as data collection tools. The research findings reveal that most university lecturers harbor a positive view of OBE, acknowledging its efficacy as an educational system within their institutions. However, several challenges hinder its seamless adoption, including inadequate facilities, overcrowded classrooms, limited attention to OBE by the Ministry of Higher Education, lecturers' unfamiliarity with OBE principles, and other factors. These impediments pose significant obstacles to the full realization of OBE in the Afghan higher education landscape.
