arviointikanavaa

Arviointikanava, or assessment channel, is a term used in Finnish educational contexts to describe a pathway or method through which a student's learning and development are evaluated. It refers to the specific means by which teachers, educational institutions, or other stakeholders gather information about a student's progress, skills, and knowledge.

These channels can encompass a wide range of assessment tools and practices. Common examples include written examinations, oral tests, project work, portfolios, classroom observations, self-assessments, and peer assessments. The choice of assessment channel often depends on the learning objectives, the subject matter, and the age or developmental stage of the student. The purpose is to gain a comprehensive understanding of what a student has learned and how they are developing.

Arviointikanava is not a single, standardized tool but rather a conceptual framework for understanding the diverse ways assessment is carried out. Different assessment channels may be used to measure different aspects of learning, such as factual recall, problem-solving abilities, critical thinking, or practical skills. The information gathered through these channels informs teaching practices, provides feedback to students, and supports decision-making regarding academic progression or support needs. The effectiveness of an assessment channel is often judged by its validity, reliability, and fairness.
