Målspørsmål

Målspørsmål, a Swedish term, translates to "goal question" or "objective question" in English. It refers to a question that is specifically designed to assess understanding of a particular learning objective or concept. These questions are often used in educational settings as a tool for both teaching and evaluation. The primary purpose of a målspørsmål is to guide the learner's focus towards what they are expected to know or be able to do after a period of instruction. By posing these questions, educators can clarify learning expectations and help students direct their study efforts effectively. Conversely, students can use målspørsmål to self-assess their comprehension and identify areas where they may need further clarification or practice. Målspørsmål are distinct from general knowledge questions in that they are directly linked to predefined learning outcomes, ensuring that the assessment is targeted and relevant to the curriculum. They can take various forms, including multiple-choice, short answer, or essay prompts, but their defining characteristic is their alignment with specific educational objectives. The effective use of målspørsmål can contribute to a more focused and productive learning experience.
