<![CDATA[Although the implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) has received considerable attention in higher education research, studies that specifically examine lecturers’ ability to design OBE-based Semester Learning Plans (Rencana Pembelajaran Semester, RPS) for Islamic Religious Education courses remain limited. This study aimed to analyze lecturers’ ability to develop an OBE-based RPS for the course Evaluation of Islamic Religious Education Learning. The study employed a qualitative approach with a document analysis design, involving a single RPS document as the primary data source. Data were collected through a systematic document review using an OBE-based RPS analysis instrument and were analyzed with descriptive–analytical techniques. The findings indicate that the lecturer’s ability to design an OBE-based RPS falls into the “good” category, as reflected in the alignment between learning outcomes, instructional strategies, and assessment techniques. Nevertheless, several components still require refinement, particularly in formulating measurable performance indicators and clarifying the explicit linkage between Course Learning Outcomes (Capaian Pembelajaran Mata Kuliah, CPMK), learning activities, and assessment. These findings contribute to the development of the concept of OBE implementation in higher education and extend understanding of instructional planning practices in the context of Islamic Religious Education. The study concludes that the clarity of learning outcome indicators plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of OBE-based instructional planning and recommends strengthening the capacity of lecturers and study programs in developing outcome-oriented RPS documents. The implications of this research include theoretical contributions to enriching the OBE literature and practical implications for higher education institutions in improving the quality of instructional planning, while also opening avenues for further studies on the alignment between OBE-based planning and classroom implementation.]]>
