Abstract:
This study investigated educators' implementation of assessment in outcomes-based
education. A quantitative research approach was used in a sun/ey of a sample of 303
participants. To this end, the Assessment in OBE Scale (AOBES) was used for collecting
data. The chi-square test was used to analyse data and to test the hypotheses of the
study. The findings indicated that educators differed significantly in the extent to which
they used the methods, tools, techniques, and forms (specific purposes) of assessment,
as well as reporting tools. The findings also indicated that the qualification and teaching
phase had a significant influence on the educators' usage of assessment tools The
findings further indicated that the teaching phase had a significant influence on the
educators' usage of assessment techniques. Recommendations for improving the
educators' usage of a variety of assessment strategies were made.
