Design Thinking as a Learning Process Evaluation Method in Outcome-Based Education (OBE) Curriculum

The Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach has been recognized as a learning model focusing on student outcomes and preparing graduates with relevant skills to compete in the global market.This study explores how the design thinking method can be applied to support the implementation of the OBE curriculum in higher education.The learning process becomes more collaborative, innovative, and focused on problem-solving after using this design thinking approach.This study used unstructured observations and semi-structured interviews with students to evaluate the impact of the application of the method on student engagement, the development of creative thinking skills, and problem-solving abilities.The results showed that this approach could increase student engagement in the learning process, encourage innovation in teaching, and provide more effective solutions to challenges faced during the learning process.Thus, the integration of design thinking in the OBE curriculum has the potential to create higher quality and sustainable education.
