Lühivastusega

Lühivastusega is an Estonian term that translates to "short answer" or "brief response." It is commonly used in educational contexts, particularly in assessments, examinations, and quizzes. A lühivastusega question typically requires a concise and focused answer, often a few sentences or a single paragraph, rather than an extended essay or detailed explanation.

The purpose of lühivastusega questions is to assess a student's understanding of specific concepts, facts, or processes without demanding extensive writing. They can be used to test recall of information, comprehension, or the ability to synthesize a small amount of information into a coherent response. Effective lühivastusega answers are direct, to the point, and accurately address the prompt. They often require students to identify key elements, define terms, or briefly explain a phenomenon.

In contrast to multiple-choice or true/false questions, lühivastusega questions allow for a greater degree of demonstration of understanding and can reveal nuances in a student's knowledge. However, they also require careful grading to ensure consistency and fairness. The length of a lühivastusega answer is intentionally limited to distinguish it from longer essay questions, which demand more in-depth analysis and argumentation.
