Abstract

This paper provides a report on a curriculum design procedure developed by the authors from an understanding of the prescriptions of Outcome-Based Education, particularly as discussed by William Spady (1994). The procedure was applied to the revision of an undergraduate architecture program in the Philippines. The procedure is described and insights on the OBE procedure that arose from faculty discussions during its implementation were identified. The insights centered on the quality of appropriateness of OBE to an architecture curriculum and to the curricula of arts-based disciplines in general.
