Abstract/Summary

This research aims to trace the philosophical foundations of Spady’s outcome-based education framework. It first presents several issues arising from the implementation of the OBE model in the Philippine setting, elaborating on the fundamental principles of the said system afterwards. The study, then, proceeds to situate the OBE model within the philosophy of education. Through the use of a philosophical lens, it is argued that the said framework somehow contains traces of Aristotle’s and Dewey’s education-related ideas. Furthermore, as for the practical aspect of this study, the OBE framework was adopted in designing a tertiary-level course in ethics, specifically by employing the Socratic Method augmented with scaffolding (SaS) in discussing films in class. In relation to this, it is conjectured that the SaS method may possibly be considered one of the heuristic devices for realizing Spady’s outcome-based education.
