Responding to Articulation of Outcome-Based Education in Graduate Education by Cruz and Doctolero (2015); Insights from an Educational Leadership Major

Abstract

This correspondence article offers a reflection on the journal article entitled "ARTICULATION OF OUTCOME-BASED EDUCATION IN GRADUATE EDUCATION: A PRACTITIONER-ACTION RESEARCH" by Cruz and Doctolero (2015) from the perspective of an Educational Leadership major and research enthusiast. The authors' expertise and experience as practitioners enhance the relevance and practicality of their research findings on adopting outcome-based education in graduate programs. The need of using a double-feedback loop to overcome the discrepancy between professed values and theory-in-practice is emphasised in the paper. This correspondence article contributes to the ongoing conversation about the implementation and effectiveness of outcome-based education in graduate education, providing valuable insights and recommendations for the implementation of related studies in the future.
