suorituspäivän

Suorituspäivän is a Finnish term that refers to a day set aside for demonstrating or assessing performance. The word combines suoritus (performance, completion) and päivä (day). In educational and vocational contexts, suorituspäivä denotes a scheduled occasion when a learner or trainee carries out tasks and demonstrates the required competence to an assessor. The emphasis is on practical demonstration of skills, often within competence-based assessment frameworks.

In vocational education, suorituspäivä is part of assessment that measures actual work performance. Learners may perform tasks in real or simulated settings, while assessors observe, apply criteria-based checklists, and document outcomes. The day is typically planned with defined tasks, assessment criteria, and required documentation; if criteria are not met, additional attempts or remedial work may be arranged.

In workplace training or certification processes, the term may also describe a formal performance demonstration or evaluation day. The exact implementation varies by institution and program, and usage is not uniform across Finnish education systems.

Suorituspäivä relates to broader practices such as demonstrations of competence (näytöt) and evaluation (arviointi). It highlights a practical, outcome-focused approach to measuring what a learner or employee can do in real-world situations rather than only what they know in theory.
