Megközelítésközpontú

Megközelítésközpontú is a Hungarian adjective used to describe an orientation that centers on approaches or methodologies employed in analysis, design, evaluation, or problem solving. The term signals that the chosen approach to a task is the primary reference point for interpretation and decision making, rather than the outcomes or objects themselves.

Etymology: It is formed from meg- (a prefix indicating emphasis) and közelítés (approach) plus központú (centered), yielding a compound meaning “centered on the approach.” In English it is often rendered as approach-centered or approach-oriented.

Usage: The expression appears in academic and professional Hungarian discourse across fields such as pedagogy, organizational studies, design thinking, and research methodology. It is typically used to modify nouns, e.g., megközelítésközpontú módszertan, megközelítésközpontú értékelés, or megközelítésközpontú tanítási gyakorlat.

Distinctions: It contrasts with outcome-centered (eredményközpontú) or product-centered approaches, and with process-oriented formulations. The precise meaning may vary by discipline, but the core idea is a methodological emphasis on the chosen approach.
