eksaminasjon

Eksaminasjon is a Norwegian term that generally refers to examination or testing. It encompasses the process of evaluating a person's knowledge, skills, or abilities in a particular subject or field. This evaluation can take various forms, depending on the context.

In an academic setting, eksaminasjon often refers to formal tests or exams administered at the end of a course or study program. These can include written tests, oral examinations, practical demonstrations, or the submission of a thesis or project. The purpose of academic eksaminasjon is to assess whether a student has met the learning objectives and acquired the necessary competencies.

Beyond academia, the term can also be used in professional contexts. For example, a medical examination can be referred to as a "helseeksaminasjon" or simply "eksaminasjon" if the context is clear. Similarly, certain professional certifications or licenses may require passing an eksaminasjon to demonstrate proficiency. The core idea remains the systematic assessment of an individual's qualifications. The results of an eksaminasjon typically determine a pass or fail status, a grade, or a level of competence, influencing further progression or opportunities.
