Examinerande

Examinerande is a Swedish adjective derived from the verb examinera, meaning to examine or assess. It denotes actions, methods, or roles that involve examination, evaluation, or investigation. The term originates from examinera, itself from Latin examinare, and the suffix -ande forms a present participle adjective.

In usage, examinerande describes processes rather than results. In education it is used to characterize assessment activities, for example examinerande prov, examinerande intervjuer, or examinerande moment that test knowledge or competence. In clinical contexts, examinerande refers to the diagnostic examination performed by a clinician who asks questions, observes, and records findings. The noun form for the person conducting such activities is examiner or examinator.

The relationship to other terms is that examinerande concerns the process of examining, while terms like bedömning (assessment) or betyg (grade) refer to the outcome. The term can also appear in research contexts to denote procedures designed to examine a hypothesis or collect data.
