Järelhindamiste

Järelhindamiste, a term of Estonian origin, translates to "post-assessment" or "follow-up assessment" in English. It refers to a process of evaluating something that has already been completed or implemented. This could be a project, a policy, a learning outcome, a program, or any other initiative. The purpose of a järelhindamine is to determine the effectiveness, impact, and outcomes of the subject under review after it has had time to run its course or produce results.

The scope of a järelhindamine can vary widely. It might involve collecting data through surveys, interviews, observations, or the analysis of existing records. The key distinction from a formative assessment is that järelhindamised occur after the activity has concluded, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of its long-term effects and overall success. This type of assessment provides valuable feedback for future planning, decision-making, and the improvement of similar initiatives. It helps identify what worked well, what did not, and why, thus contributing to a cycle of continuous improvement.
