Slide 1: Title Slide

“Good morning, class. Today, our group will be presenting about the Bases of Determining Educational
Outcomes, and we will connect this to Outcome-Based Education and the MATATAG Curriculum.

Now, why is this topic important? Because everything we do in education—our lessons, activities, and
assessments—should point to a clear end goal. That end goal is what we call the educational outcome.
Without outcomes, teaching is just like walking without direction. With outcomes, however, we know
exactly what we want our learners to achieve.

So throughout this discussion, we’ll be able to know how outcomes are shaped, why they matter, and
how they guide both teachers and students.”

Slide 2: Learning Outcomes

“Here are the learning outcomes for you, the class, after our presentation.

First, you should be able to define educational outcomes and their importance—what they are and why
they’re the foundation of teaching and learning.

Second, you should be able to explain the different bases of determining outcomes. These bases are
like building blocks that shape what students are expected to learn.

Third, you should be able to connect these bases to Outcome-Based Education and the MATATAG
Curriculum. This makes the topic more relevant since OBE and MATATAG are at the heart of the
Philippine education system today.

And lastly, you should be able to conclude why outcomes are central in curriculum development. This
means you’ll understand that outcomes are not just terms in a curriculum guide—they’re actually the
compass that guides teachers, students, and even policymakers.

So, in short, our goal is not only to share information but to make sure by the end of this, you can really
see the value of outcomes in education.”

Slide 3: What are Educational Outcomes?

“Let’s start with the basics: What are educational outcomes?

“Statements of what learners should know, do, and value”

 Know → refers to knowledge. These are facts, concepts, or information students should learn
(e.g., the quadratic formula, the laws of motion).

 Do → refers to skills or abilities. It’s not enough to know something; students should be able to
apply it (e.g., solve a quadratic equation, conduct an experiment).

 Value → refers to attitudes, ethics, and dispositions. Outcomes also include what students
should appreciate or practice (e.g., honesty in reporting data, valuing teamwork).
  👉 In short, outcomes cover the head (knowledge), hands (skills), and heart (values).

They are not vague; they are measurable benchmarks. When we say benchmarks, we mean standards
or reference points that we use to check if we’re on the right track.

Now, in the framework of OBE or Outcome-Based Education, outcomes come first. We do not start with
the lesson plan or the activities—we start by asking, ‘What do we want students to achieve?’ After that,
we design the teaching methods and assessments around those outcomes.

In other words: Outcomes first → instruction and assessment follow. This makes sure that what we teach
and test actually aligns with what we want our learners to become.”

Slide 4: Why Outcomes Matter (OBE Lens)

“Now that we know what outcomes are, the next question is: Why do they matter?

First, outcomes guide teachers. They help us know exactly what to teach, instead of teaching randomly
or focusing only on what’s easy.

Second, outcomes guide students. When learners know the goals, they become more motivated
because they know what’s expected of them and what they’re working toward.

Third, outcomes guide assessments. Instead of just testing memory, we design tests, projects, or tasks
that measure if the student really achieved the outcome.

Lastly, outcomes ensure alignment. They connect education with the bigger picture:

 They respond to societal needs → for example, preparing students for jobs and responsible
citizenship.

 They consider learner needs → like developmental stages and diverse abilities.

 And they prepare students for global competitiveness → so that Filipino learners can stand
alongside students worldwide.

In short, outcomes matter because they keep education purposeful, aligned, and meaningful. Without
outcomes, the curriculum is just a list of topics; with outcomes, it becomes a roadmap to real learning.”
P: Hi! Goodmorning. Gahimo mig short visit para mangumusta sa mga tawo diri. Akong name Alaiza,
ikaw pwede maila ila?

H: Hi ate. Russia akong name. Ay lingkod lang sa te.

P: Thank u, Russia. Kumusta man ka, unsa mana imo gika busyhan diay?

H: Nag-scroll lang sa phone. Kapoy baya gikan sa klase, daghan kaayog assignments.

P: Tinuod gyud. Grabe noh, mura’g dili na mahuman ang project ug quizzes. Makapressure baya.

H: Bitaw ate. Usahay mura’g gusto nalang ko matulog whole day.

P: Oo, normal lang jud mubati ingon na pang bawi sa kahago. Pero kabantay ka, kung sobra na ka-stress,
usahay mangita gyud ta’g paagi nga maka-feel ug peace, nya ma release ang kabug at nga ato nafeel,
sama sa pakig estorya sa atong friends nga atong gisaligan. Pero na ba ka nga mupagawas sa kabug-at sa
imo hunahuna through prayers?

H: Oo ate, pero honestly usahay mura’g walay tubag, maong usahay makawala pud ug gana.

P: Mao pud nay gibati sa uban, Russia. Pero nahibalo ba ka Russia nga naay bible text nagpasalig nato
nga tinuod gyud nga maminaw ang Diyos sa atong mga pag-ampo, ug usa ni siya nga nakatabang sa
akoa. Narecord ni siya sa 1 Pedro 5:7 giingon: “Isalikway ninyo ang tanan ninyong kabalaka kaniya,
tungod kay siya nag-atiman kaninyo.” Nice noh, makita jud nato nga nay personal nga interes ang diyos
sa mga tawo kay base sa text, giatiman ta niya, matag usa.

H: Hala, bitaw no. Murag comforting gyud.

P: Oo Rus. Mao bitaw nga bisan unsa ka busy or stressed, pwede gyud ka muampo sa atong Diyos. Ug

Malipay ko nga makig estorya nimo about ani sa sunod higayon, sunod balik nako.

P: Sure, okay ra kaayo. Salamat sa imong time, Russia.
