Abstract

An outcome based educational setting is immensely recognized by the quality of delivered educational attributes aligned to the institutional core initiatives such as vision, mission and core values. These educational attributes basically represent a general terminology called learning outcomes. The learning outcomes are commonly formed and shaped through various academic categories such as graduate attributes, program learning outcomes and course learning outcomes and are specifically aligned to fulfill the institutional initiatives. Though institutions struggle hard to achieve these structural constituents, but do not mostly fulfill the desired outcomes. There have been various instances of failure leading to critical evaluation of the entire institutional setups. The major reason to these failures is the lapse of a systematic, authentic or rationally measurable approach which if available could perfectly solve the deal. In view of these issues, we have come up with a unique approach which is very logical and helps to resolve the problems. Our approach measures the attainment of educational attributes through an evident, structured, measurable and calculated terminology. The outcomes produced through our approach will validly support the educational process to further enhance the quality of education and reflect the true evaluation of institutional initiatives in all aspects. In addition to determining the strengths and weaknesses, the proposed methodology would produce effective progression to the students, courses, academic programs and assessments, promoting legitimate educational processes.
