Sisäistettävissä

Sisäistettävissä is a Finnish word that translates to "internalizable" or "assimilable" in English. It describes something that can be absorbed, understood, and made a part of one's own knowledge, beliefs, or habits. The concept is often used in educational and psychological contexts.

In education, a concept or skill is considered sisäistettävissä if a learner can move beyond rote memorization to truly understand and apply it in different situations. This implies a deeper level of learning where the new information is integrated with existing knowledge structures. It's not just about knowing facts, but about grasping the underlying principles and being able to use them effectively.

Psychologically, sisäistettävissä refers to the process of adopting external norms, values, or behaviors as one's own. This internalisation shapes an individual's identity and guides their actions. For example, children internalize societal rules and moral principles through socialization, making them a natural part of their own conscience. The degree to which something is sisäistettävissä can depend on factors such as individual motivation, prior experience, and the clarity or relevance of the information or behavior being presented. It signifies a successful transfer from external input to internal understanding and acceptance.
