Hybridiarviointi

Hybridiarviointi is a term originating from Finnish educational contexts, referring to a blended or hybrid approach to assessment. It combines different assessment methods and strategies to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a student's learning and progress. This approach acknowledges that no single assessment tool can fully capture the breadth of a student's knowledge, skills, and competencies.

Hybridiarviointi typically integrates both formative and summative assessment techniques. Formative assessments, which are ongoing and designed to guide instruction and provide feedback, might include observations, classroom discussions, self-assessments, and peer assessments. Summative assessments, used to evaluate learning at the end of a unit or course, could encompass traditional tests, projects, presentations, or portfolios. The "hybrid" aspect lies in the deliberate and synergistic combination of these diverse methods.

The goal of hybridiarviointi is to offer a more holistic and nuanced picture of student achievement. By utilizing a variety of assessment formats, educators can cater to different learning styles and provide multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate their understanding. This can lead to more accurate and equitable evaluations, supporting personalized learning pathways and fostering deeper engagement with the subject matter. The specific blend of assessment methods can be adapted based on the learning objectives, the subject matter, and the age and developmental level of the students.
