Title: Barriers and enablers to the implementation of outcomes-based education: a reflective practice perspective
Author(s): Chang, Rosemary L.; Mann, Llewellyn; Mazzolini, Alex; Stojcevski, Alex; Lueckenhausen, Gillian
Abstract: This paper explores Swinburne‘s University of Technology professional learning using a reflective approach in relation to the implementation of an Outcomes Based Education (OBE) activity with academic staff in Engineering Education. The paper describes the initial stage of an implementation of outcomes based education across the engineering curricula at Swinburne University of Technology, which provides programs at both university and polytechnic levels. As this is the first stage in a larger implementation, a number of recommendations have emerged in relation to future work. The recommendations are strongly interrelated to the element of - staff development, since they were required for the next, immediate phase of the larger study. The recommendations are also generalisable to the engineering education community engaging with curriculum renewal.
