process-oriented
Emphasizing the how
Process-oriented describes an approach that emphasizes how something is done rather than just what results.
A process-oriented teacher cares more about students developing good methods than getting right answers: The feedback was process-oriented, focusing on her technique rather than the final product.
The term appears in education, management, and therapy, contrasting with outcome-oriented or results-oriented approaches.
