Outcomes-Based Education Reexamined: From Structural Functionalism to Poststructuralism.
Capper, Colleen A.; Jamison, Michael T.
Educational Policy, v7 n4 p427-46 Dec 1993
Outcomes-based education (OBE) views itself as drastic break from current inequitable educational practices and means of providing educational success for all students. Reexamines OBE from a multiparadigm perspective of organizations and educational administration. Although certain OBE facets may be empowering to students and teachers, much of the system continues to be lodged in a framework geared toward structure and control. (MLH)
