Kriteerikohtainen

Kriteerikohtainen is a Finnish term that translates to "criterion-based" or "based on criteria." It refers to a method or approach where evaluation, selection, or decision-making is guided by a predefined set of standards or requirements. In essence, something is kriteerikohtainen when it is judged or assessed against specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) criteria.

This concept is widely applicable across various fields. In education, for instance, a kriteerikohtainen assessment means that a student's work is evaluated against specific learning objectives or performance indicators, rather than being compared to the performance of other students. In recruitment, a kriteerikohtainen selection process involves shortlisting candidates based on how well they meet the essential qualifications and experience outlined in the job description. Similarly, in project management, project success can be determined by whether specific project goals and deliverables have been met, which are the kriteerit. The advantage of a kriteerikohtainen approach is its objectivity and transparency, as it provides a clear framework for evaluation and reduces the potential for bias. It ensures that decisions are made on a consistent and justifiable basis.
