kertauksia

Kertauksia is the plural form of kertaus, a Finnish word meaning repetition, review, or recap. In education and training, kertaukset refer to activities and materials aimed at reinforcing material that learners have already been taught. They can take the form of short exercises, drills, quizzes, or written summaries that occur at the end of a lesson, during study sessions, or as part of homework. The purpose is to improve retention, fluency, and the ability to apply knowledge in new tasks, and to prepare for examinations.

In textbooks and course materials, kertauksia may appear as recap sections that summarize key points from a chapter, or as review questions that guide students to recall essential concepts. In formal schooling in Finland, kertauksia are commonly used as formative practice to consolidate learning and to monitor progress over time. The term is also used more broadly for refresher activities in training programs, including professional development, where participants revisit core skills and procedures.

Kertauksia is related to kertaus (the act of repeating or reviewing) and to other terms such as kertausharjoitus in more specific settings. While the exact meaning can vary by context, the core idea is repeated practice or recap intended to support long-term retention and mastery.
