Abstract

This paper explores the teaching reform of the "Current Affairs and Policies" course in universities from the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) perspective. By systematically reviewing the connotation of OBE and its application in higher education, particularly in the social sciences and the "Current Affairs and Policies" course, the article proposes a path for teaching reform based on OBE. Utilizing literature and content analysis methods, the study examines relevant domestic and international literature, integrating the spirit of the Two Sessions and current social hotspots to explore the specific application and implementation strategies of OBE in the course. The research elaborates on the theoretical background of OBE, analyzes its application status globally and in Chinese universities, and identifies the features and challenges of the "Current Affairs and Policies" course. The article offers a series of OBE-based teaching reform suggestions, including course objectives, content design, teaching methods, and evaluation systems. The conclusion indicates that the comprehensive implementation of OBE can effectively enhance the teaching quality of the "Current Affairs and Policies" course, improve students' understanding of current affairs and social responsibility, and lay a foundation for cultivating well-rounded talents needed in the new era. This study not only provides theoretical support for higher education reform but also offers practical guidance for the specific implementation of the "Current Affairs and Policies" course in universities.
