tehtäväkuvat

Tehtäväkuvat are images or diagrams used to accompany tasks or problems, particularly in Finnish educational materials. They can be photographs, drawings, charts, maps, or schematics that illustrate the scenario, data, or relations the task refers to.

The main purpose of tehtäväkuvat is to provide visual context for a task, supporting comprehension and interpretation. They help learners understand spatial relationships, geometric configurations, data trends, or real-world settings. Visual elements may include labeled parts, scales, axes, directions, and captions, and they are typically designed to align with the accompanying text so that the image and the task reinforce each other.

Design and quality considerations are important. Tehtäväkuvat should be clear and legible, neither too simplified nor unnecessarily complex. They should be accurately scaled and properly labeled, with units where relevant. Captions or references in the task text help guide interpretation, and images should avoid introducing ambiguity that could lead to misreading the problem. In digital materials, accessibility considerations such as alt text and high-contrast designs are encouraged to ensure all learners can access the information.

In practice, tehtäväkuvat are common across subjects and levels, from school worksheets to university problem sets and standardized exams. They support various activities, including calculation, analysis, comparison, and decision-making, by providing a concrete, visual representation of the task at hand.
