Social Sciences - Psychology
Norwegian term or phrase: atferdsmål
The sentence is: "Meta-analysen oppnådde en samlet effektstørrelse på 0.54 i forhold til ulike atferdsmål".

Store leksikon explains: atferdsmål – pedagogikk, mål for elevenes læring som formuleres slik at de etter gjennomført læringsforløp viser seg i elevenes konkrete atferd eller handling. Læringsprogrammets effektivitet kan så måles ved å sammenligne mål og resultat. Atferdsmål forbindes gjerne med et undervisningsteknologisk læringsperspektiv. Betegnelsen kom særlig i bruk ved utviklingen av programmert undervisning i 1950- og 1960-årene.

What would be the English equivalent (or eventually Estonian, since the translation is into Estonian really)?
