This study explores the challenges faced by the curriculum development team in designing the OBE curriculum for the English Education Study Program at UIN Ar-Raniry. OBE is a pedagogical framework that prioritizes the achievement of clear learning outcomes and competencies that are in line with the demands of industry and society. Despite its great potential to improve the quality of education, the development of OBE is often hampered by various challenges, including limited understanding of OBE principles, difficulties in formulating clear and measurable outcomes, and pressure to implement the curriculum immediately. Using a qualitative research approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with members of the curriculum development team. The results showed that the main challenges faced included a lack of understanding of the OBE curriculum and difficulty in defining appropriate outcomes. Although some team members reported having no difficulty in accessing teaching materials, the urgency to quickly implement the curriculum often hindered the process of in- depth reflection and evaluation. To overcome these challenges, the team adopted various innovative strategies, such as conducting literature reviews to deepen understanding of OBE, participating in relevant training sessions, and increasing collaboration among team members. The commitment of the curriculum development team to overcome these barriers was reflected in their spirit of cooperation and dedication to continuous learning. This research aims to make a significant contribution to the development of better educational policies and assist lecturers in designing a more effective and relevant curriculum. This research is expected not only to benefit the English Education Study Program but also to serve as a reference for other educational institutions in implementing OBE effectively.
