frågeblock

Frågeblock is a grouping of questions intended to be presented as a unit within a larger assessment, quiz, or survey. The term is used in Swedish contexts to describe a cohesive set of items that address a specific topic or skill. A block may contain different item types, such as multiple-choice, true/false, short answer, or open-ended questions, and is often bounded by instructions or a thematic label.

Purpose and usage: Frågeblock structures help test designers organize content, balance difficulty, and analyze responses. In educational settings, blocks can map to learning objectives; in surveys, they enable thematic analysis by topic. In media or game formats, blocks create rounds or stages with a defined scope.

Design and structure: A block typically includes a header or title, a sequence of questions, any necessary context or data, and sometimes a mechanism for navigation in digital formats. When used in paper tests, blocks may correspond to sections with separate time limits.

Variations and relationships: Frågeblocks are related to item banks, test blueprints, and questionnaire design. They can be reused across assessments and combined with other blocks to form a complete test or survey. In digital environments, blocks support modular design, paging, and scoring at the block level.
