Esitutkintapöytäkirja

Esitutkintapöytäkirja is a document used in the Finnish education system, specifically in the context of vocational education and training (VET). It is prepared by the student and their mentor, typically a teacher or a professional in the field, and serves as a foundation for the student's final assessment in their vocational qualification. The purpose of the esitutkintapöytäkirja is to provide a comprehensive overview of the student's learning journey, including their skills, knowledge, and competencies acquired during their training.

The document typically includes several key sections. The first section outlines the student's personal information, such as their name, date of birth, and the vocational qualification they are pursuing. The second section details the student's training program, including the duration of the training, the educational institution, and the mentor's information. The third section is the most extensive, as it describes the student's learning outcomes. This section is divided into subsections, each focusing on a specific area of the vocational qualification. For each area, the student and their mentor assess the student's skills and knowledge, using a predefined assessment grid. The assessment grid includes criteria such as the student's ability to perform tasks independently, their problem-solving skills, and their understanding of theoretical concepts.

The esitutkintapöytäkirja is reviewed by the student's mentor and, if necessary, by other teachers or professionals in the field. Once approved, it is submitted to the National Agency for Education for further assessment. The final assessment determines whether the student has successfully completed their vocational qualification. The esitutkintapöytäkirja is an essential tool in the Finnish VET system, as it ensures that students receive a comprehensive and fair assessment of their skills and knowledge.
