Overview

Learning with Heart: Affective Domain Skills for Outcome-Based Education through Ethical Stories and Real-life Examples is a humble attempt to highlight the importance of nurturing attitudes, values, and emotions in education. Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is a student-cantered learning approach that emphasizes what learners can actually do after completing a course. In OBE, the product defines the process, unlike input-based systems that focus solely on teaching. True OBE integrates knowledge, skills, and attitude-the latter often overlooked yet vital for holistic learning. This book explores how the affective domain-which governs motivation, empathy, gratitude, kindness, and ethical behaviour-can be developed using ethical stories and real-life examples. Drawing from Bloom's Taxonomy, it emphasizes not only cognitive and psychomotor skills but also affective skills like positive thinking, presence of mind, and forgiveness. By understanding the levels of receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and characterizing, educators can guide students to become emotionally intelligent and socially responsible individuals. Through simple yet powerful stories, this book seeks to engage the heart and mind of learners, making OBE more meaningful, humane, and impactful. Let this book serve as a practical guide for educators, students, and anyone committed to teaching with heart and purpose.
