Arviointikyselyt

Arviointikyselyt are structured instruments used to collect quantitative or qualitative feedback about a particular topic, process, program, or product. Typically organized as a series of statements or questions, respondents indicate their level of agreement, satisfaction, or perceived importance, often using Likert scales, dichotomous response options, or open-ended prompts. The term is most common in Finnish-speaking contexts, where it refers to both classroom assessments and organizational evaluations.

The design of a well‑constructed arviointikysely relies on clear, unambiguous wording, balanced item framing, and a logical sequence that guides respondents through the topic. Items are usually grouped into subscales that represent underlying constructs such as effectiveness, usability, or engagement. Pre‑testing and pilot runs help identify ambiguities and ensure that the instrument yields reliable data. Scoring methods vary: simple summation of numeric responses, calculating mean scores for each subscale, or more complex statistical approaches such as factor analysis or item response theory.

Arviointikyselyt are widely applied in education for formative feedback, in business for customer satisfaction surveys, and in public sector projects for monitoring and evaluation. When used appropriately, they provide actionable insights into strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
