Key Points

To design, implement, and assess a four-dimensional Outcome-Based Education (OBE) framework—incorporating Objectives, Content, Models, and Evaluation (OCME)—in a secondary chemistry laboratory teaching methods course.
Implemented the OCME reform framework within a core secondary chemistry laboratory teaching methods course for preservice teachers.
Evaluated curricular impact using a mixed-method design integrating questionnaire surveys, longitudinal teaching practice tracking, and paired-samples t-test analysis.
Preservice teachers showed significant gains in teaching practice skills (mean score increase = 0.32, p < 0.001) and innovative thinking (mean score increase = 0.28, p < 0.001).
Learning engagement significantly improved following the reform (mean score increase = 0.23, p < 0.001), with overall student course satisfaction reaching 90.9%.
