Opetustarkoitukseen

Opetustarkoitukseen is a Finnish expression meaning “for educational purposes.” It designates that a resource, material, or activity is intended to be used in teaching contexts, such as in schools, universities, or training programs. The phrase is commonly used in formal writing, policy texts, licenses, and guidelines to specify permissible uses.

In practice, it appears in sentences such as: “Materiaali on suunniteltu opetustarkoitukseen,” “Käyttöoikeus on rajoitettu opetustarkoitukseen,” or “Tiedosto on tarkoitettu opetustarkoitukseen.” It can modify nouns (opetustarkoitukseen suunniteltu materiaali) or occur as part of a predicate (on tarkoitettu opetustarkoitukseen).

Nuance and related terms: opetustarkoitukseen is more formal and typical in official contexts, whereas opetuskäyttöön is a more common alternative in everyday language. Both convey the idea of use in teaching, but opetustarkoitukseen emphasizes the intended purpose. Other related phrases include “opetustarkoitusten mukaan” (according to educational purposes) and “oppimateriaalit opetustarkoitukseen” (learning materials for educational purposes).

Common contexts for the term include educational licenses, library and archival guidelines, open educational resources, and institutional policies that restrict or designate use to non-commercial or classroom settings.
