Outcomes-Based Curriculum Model for Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
Abstract
This study analyzed the existing Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Curriculum of the Bukidnon State University. The analysis started with the review followed by the proposed revision considering the internal and external factors. Internal factors included the level of difficulty, teachers, and facilities. The external factors considered the employability of the graduates, salary, and upward mobility in the position. It formulated three possible curricula with ascending variations from the existing one. Using the Total Probability Theorem (TPT), it came up with a model considered to be the most feasible curriculum of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) and Outcomes- Based Education framework were used to revise the existing curriculum.
