Antwoordzijde

Antwoordzijde is a Dutch term that translates to the "answer side." In practice it refers to the backside or secondary face of a two-sided item where the answer or response is provided. It is commonly used in educational contexts to describe the side of a flashcard, card, or sheet that contains the solution to the prompt shown on the vraagzijde (question side). The concept is also used in data labeling and assessment materials where a question or prompt is paired with its corresponding answer on the opposite side.

Origin and usage: The compound combines antwoord (answer) and zijde (side). It is widely used in Dutch-language pedagogy and card-based learning tools, as well as in instructions for studying with index cards or digital flashcards.

In practice: On a physical flashcard, the vraagzijde presents a term or problem, and the antwoordzijde offers the definition, translation, or solution. Digital platforms may simulate the same dichotomy with a reveal or flip action to show the antwoordzijde after attempting the vraagzijde.

Note: The term is primarily descriptive; it does not denote a specific scholarly theory but a functional description of two-sided materials.
