õppeväljaanneteks

Õppeväljaanneteks is Estonian a term used to refer to educational publications intended for teaching and learning. A single õppeväljaanne can be a textbook (õpik), a workbook (töövihik), a teacher’s guide (õpetaja käsiraamat), or other instructional material; together, the plural form õppeväljaanded denotes the range of such publications. They are produced by publishers and educational organizations and may be issued in printed form, digital formats, or as hybrid resources.

These publications are typically designed to align with the national curriculum and are targeted at specific subjects and grade levels. They often include accompanying materials such as answer keys, teacher notes, and digital resources (online exercises, supplementary media) to support instruction and assessment. The scope of õppeväljaanneteks covers a broad spectrum of learning materials used in schools, libraries, and other educational settings.

In library and education administration contexts, õppeväljaanned are catalogued as learning materials and are documented with metadata such as author, publisher, year of publication, edition, language, target audience, and subject. They may also be part of procurement processes for schools and regional education authorities, where decisions are made about which publications to adopt for curricula implementation.

The term is related to, but distinct from, broader concepts such as õppevahendid (learning tools) and õppematerjalid (learning materials). It serves as a functional category in education policy, publishing, and library catalogs to denote materials published for instructional use.
