OBE can still include boring learning techniques such as Rote learning and memorisation, you like these methods and that is why you have achieved well. However there are students that simply can not learn through these processes, if you think back a very long time you may even be able to remember them.
OBE gives teachers more flexibility to teach different methods and includes theories such as Gardner's multiple intellegnces and the learning styles.
I know that these concepts are relatively new and expect teachers to cater for a wider diversity of students, but shouldn't we always be looking at ways to improve the field that we work in, instead of sticking to antiquated methods?
Every students deserves a fair go, don't they?
Students that over achieve can still get the regonition they deserve and the support to advance in their learning. I believe that if you are a good teacher, you would want all you students to achieve to the best of their abilities.
