Korrigeeriv

Korrigeeriv is an Estonian adjective meaning corrective or pertaining to correction. It is formed from the verb korrigeerima (to correct) and the suffix -iv, which creates adjectives that denote a functional role. The term is used in several fields to describe processes, tools, or feedback that help rectify errors.

In education and learning, korrigeeriv tagasiside refers to feedback designed to help a learner identify and fix mistakes. Korrigeeriv meetod denotes a strategy or approach that focuses on correcting errors, often through explicit instruction, reformulation, or guided practice. The word can also describe objects or materials intended to facilitate correction, such as korrigeeriv exercises or other corrective resources.

Morphology and usage: as an attributive adjective, korrigeeriv typically precedes the noun it modifies and agrees with it in Estonian grammar. The concept is commonly paired with nouns like tagasiside (feedback), meetod (method), or tööriist (tool) to designate corrective functions within pedagogical or analytical contexts.

Context and related terms: korrigeeriv is related to other expressions for correction, such as parandav or parandus, and to broader notions of feedback (tagasiside) and error management. In discourse, the term helps distinguish corrective aims—aimed at error identification and correction—from supportive or motivational forms of assistance.
