The introduction of OBE in South Africa, a developing country, has been
characterized by problems relating to the implementation process. Thus a
comparative analysis of OBE was conducted in Australia, a developed country,
to compare the implementation process. A small scale sample investigation was
carried out in 11 Australian and 11 South African classrooms. Findings were
that Australia is a country found to be we!! resourced, politically and
economically stable, with at least 10 years experience in OBE. Furthermore,
small classroom sizes, support structures and teacher aides have enhanced the
implementation of OBE in Australia. However, the findings indicated that
similar problems have emerged in Australia and South Africa regarding the
structure of OBE, assessment and reporting and the extra workload associated
with the implementation of OBE. This suggests that there are problems
inherent in the system of OBE. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)
