EVALUASI PEMBELAJARAN IPS BERBASIS OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) DI SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

Learning evaluation is an essential component of the educational process that functions to 

measure the achievement of learning objectives. In Social Studies (IPS) learning at the 

elementary school level, evaluation is not only focused on students' mastery of knowledge 

but also on the development of their skills and attitudes. One approach that can support 

the comprehensive achievement of competencies is Outcome-Based Education (OBE). 

This article aims to examine the concepts, characteristics, objectives, benefits, and 

implementation of OBE-based Social Studies learning evaluation in elementary schools. 

This study employs a library research method by collecting and analyzing relevant 

literature sources, including books, scientific journals, and previous research findings. 

Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to obtain a comprehensive 

understanding of OBE-based Social Studies learning evaluation. The findings indicate that 

OBE-based evaluation is oriented toward the achievement of learning outcomes 

encompassing knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Evaluation is conducted through various 

assessment techniques, such as written tests, observations, projects, portfolios, and 

performance assessments, enabling a more authentic representation of students’ 

competencies. The implementation of OBE-based evaluation in Social Studies learning 

can enhance learning effectiveness, encourage active student participation, and assist 

teachers in continuously improving the learning process. Therefore, OBE-based Social 

Studies learning evaluation can serve as an effective alternative for improving the quality 

of Social Studies education in elementary schools.
