teostustest

Teostustest is a type of assessment used in Estonian-speaking education and training contexts to measure a learner's ability to perform real-world tasks. The term combines teostus (execution, realization) with test, and it typically emphasizes demonstrated competence over theoretical knowledge.

In practice, teostustest involves completing tasks that replicate or simulate professional work. Candidates may work on a product, service delivery, or procedure under supervised conditions. Scoring is usually rubric-based, assessing dimensions such as accuracy, efficiency, adherence to safety and quality standards, problem-solving, and ability to follow established procedures. Tasks may be conducted in a classroom workshop, a lab, a simulated environment, or on actual equipment, and may include timing requirements or observable performance criteria.

Uses of teostustest are common in vocational education, professional training, and licensing processes to certify practical competence. It may also appear as the final project of a course or as part of a competency-based assessment framework in fields like manufacturing, healthcare, information technology, culinary arts, and construction.

Relation to theory tests: teostustest complements knowledge-based examinations by focusing on demonstration of skills rather than recall. It aims to verify that the learner can apply knowledge in real settings. See also practical examination and competence-based assessment.
