eetikatest

Eetikatest is a term used in Estonian to describe assessments that measure knowledge and application of ethical principles and codes of conduct. It is used in educational, professional, and organizational contexts to evaluate how individuals understand and apply ethics in real situations.

Formats commonly employed include multiple-choice questions, true/false items, short-answer prompts, and scenario-based items such as situational judgment tests. Some tests combine theoretical questions with practical vignettes to assess decision-making and integrity under pressure.

Content areas typically cover professional codes of ethics, confidentiality and privacy, conflicts of interest, informed consent, data protection, fairness and respect, whistleblowing, compliance with laws, and cultural competence. The exact scope depends on the field and the test's purpose.

Usage: In higher education, eetikatest may be part of courses on ethics, research ethics, or business ethics. In professional contexts, it can be used for certification, licensure, or onboarding, helping organizations assess readiness to uphold ethical standards. Some jurisdictions require ethics testing for certain professions.

Development and interpretation: Eetikatest instruments are designed to be reliable and valid, with clear scoring rubrics and norming or standard-setting procedures. Results are typically used alongside other assessments and reflect ongoing compliance programs or curricula.
