Võrdlushindamine

Võrdlushindamine, also known as comparative assessment, is an evaluation method where a student's work is compared to the work of other students or to pre-defined standards. This approach is used in educational settings to gauge a student's performance relative to their peers or against established criteria. It can involve ranking students based on their achievement or assessing their work against a rubric that outlines specific expectations. The goal of võrdlushindamine is to provide a more contextualized understanding of a student's learning and progress, highlighting areas of strength and areas needing improvement in comparison to others. This method can be applied to various forms of assessment, including essays, projects, and exams. It allows educators to identify common misconceptions or difficulties faced by a group of students and adapt their teaching accordingly. While it can offer a clear picture of relative standing, it's important that the criteria for comparison are well-defined and transparent to ensure fairness and accuracy in the evaluation process. The focus remains on the quality and characteristics of the student's output as judged against a benchmark.
