Implementation of Outcomes-Based Education in Innovation Subjects in Primary Social Science Learning in Elementary School Teacher Education Medan State University

Outcome-based education (OBE) centers on designing instruction around the outputs and results that students produce during their education. Implementing OBE serves as a benchmark to enhance the standards of the Indonesian National Qualifications (KKNI) Universitas Negeri Medan, thereby improving lecture quality. OBE is a program that prioritizes academic success by focusing not only on the material to be covered but also on the outcomes achieved. Essentially, this approach promotes continuous learning that is innovative, effective, and interactive. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of OBE in the elementary school in social science learning innovation courses within the primary school teacher education program at Medan State University. It aspires to equip lecturers at the university with the capability to implement OBE in their teaching. The study integrates Research and Development (R&D) method to examine the application of OBE in these courses. The findings reveal that OBE has been successfully integrated into the elementary school teacher education study program, particularly in the social science learning innovation courses. The outcomes demonstrate that the achievement products are feasible, practical, and effective for use in these courses.
