Eksempeltilfellene

Eksempeltilfellene is a term used in Norwegian-language discourse to describe a curated set of exemplar cases selected to illustrate typical patterns, outcomes, or arguments within a discipline. The collection is intended to provide concrete, analyzable instances that support teaching, analysis, and policy development. While the term is most common in education and professional contexts, it is applied across fields such as law, ethics, public administration, and data-driven decision making.

The plural form refers to multiple instances, while the singular “eksempeltilfelle” denotes one such case. The focus is not on novelty but on representativeness and usefulness for understanding underlying principles. The concept is often employed in curricula, textbooks, training programs, and research to make abstract ideas tangible and to facilitate comparative analysis.

In practice, eksempeltilfellene are selected according to criteria such as relevance to core concepts, diversity of contexts, clarity of available information, and potential to reveal causal or logical relationships. They are typically presented with concise narrations, key data points, and guiding questions that prompt analysis, critique, or discussion. Users may examine the cases to identify variables, test hypotheses, or illustrate decision-making processes.

Common domains include law (illustrating legal principles and case reasoning), ethics and public policy (balancing values and outcomes), and organizational studies (case-based learning for management and governance). Despite their usefulness, eksempeltilfellene can be subject to selection bias or overgeneralization if not carefully framed and complemented by broader evidence.
