Abstract

Outcome Based Education evaluates students’ knowledge, behavior, and practical abilities. It is crucial for determining learning goals, changing courses, pinpointing learning gaps, boosting motivation and engagement, and fostering ongoing educational progress. Outcome-Based Ed-ucation implementation is enhanced and the learning experience is fostered by the use of data from student evaluations. This research investigates students’ knowledge of Outcome-Based Education and analyzes how demographic factors like age and gender affect their understand-ing. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the chi-square test (version 4.2.3) in R software after 250 pupils responded to the survey. 65.86% of pupils are acquainted with outcome-based education. Students who were older or had completed NPTEL courses were more informed. According to these findings, age and further coursework have an impact on one’s understanding of outcome-based education, which may inform methods for putting Out-come-Based Education into practice. This is one of the first studies to examine how demograph-ic variables, such as age and NPTEL course completion, affect the awareness of Outcome-based education. Student understanding of Outcome-Based Education can be evaluated to gain in-sightful knowledge about its practical efficacy. Student viewpoints have a significant influence on the development of learning strategies that are student-centered, relevant, and successful. Including pupils in the evaluation process helps to improve the overall quality of education as well as promote ongoing development.
