Implementing Outcome-based Education at Build Bright University: Aligning Learning Outcomes With the Cambodian Qualifications Framework

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research examines Build Bright University's (BBU) integration of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) and its alignment with the Cambodian Qualifications Framework (CQF). OBE focuses on defining clear learning outcomes to ensure graduates possess necessary competencies. The study evaluated BBU's implementation across its five faculties, assessing the establishment and mapping of Program, Course, and Lesson Learning Outcomes (PLOs, CLOs, LLOs). While BBU generally adheres to academic standards, particularly in outcome establishment, gaps emerged in CLO-LLO alignment, assessment sample availability, and resource allocation, especially in Law and Social Science, and Engineering and Architecture faculties. The study emphasizes continuous faculty training, enhanced resource provision, and better assessment documentation for improved transparency. Recommendations include strengthening learning outcome alignment, increasing resource access, and fostering faculty collaboration to meet industry requirements and global benchmarks.
