vrednotenje

Vrednotenje is the process of determining the value, quality, or significance of a person, object, idea, program, or activity. The term is used across fields such as finance, education, public policy, and project management, and can refer to valuation as well as assessment.

In finance and real estate, vrednotenje denotes valuation: determining market value, fair value, or replacement cost using methods like the income approach, comparables, or cost approach.

In education, it denotes assessment of learning or performance, including formative evaluation (ongoing feedback) and summative evaluation (final judgments about achievement).

In public policy and program management, vrednotenje refers to evaluation research: assessing effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, impact, and sustainability, often with logic models and sometimes cost-benefit analysis.

Methods include quantitative (metrics, statistical analysis, scoring rubrics) and qualitative (interviews, observations, case studies). Good vrednotenje uses multiple data sources (triangulation) and emphasizes reliability, validity, transparency, and ethics.

The process typically includes planning, data collection, analysis, reporting, and applying findings to decisions or accountability.

Common challenges are bias, data limitations, and changing contexts; thoughtful design and stakeholder involvement help address these issues.

Etymology: vrednotiti means to assign value or judge significance.
