Studyõpetamine

Studyõpetamine is an Estonian term that translates to "teaching of study skills" or "study instruction." It encompasses a range of pedagogical approaches and techniques aimed at equipping students with the knowledge and abilities necessary to learn effectively. The core objective of studyõpetamine is to foster independent and self-directed learning habits in individuals, regardless of their age or academic level.

This field of education focuses on developing various competencies. These include time management, organization of study materials, effective note-taking strategies, critical reading and comprehension skills, research methodologies, and exam preparation techniques. Furthermore, studyõpetamine often addresses metacognitive strategies, encouraging students to reflect on their own learning processes, identify strengths and weaknesses, and adapt their approaches accordingly. The goal is not just to impart information but to teach students *how* to learn, thereby enhancing their academic performance and lifelong learning capacity. Studyõpetamine can be integrated into the curriculum at various educational stages, from primary school to higher education and adult learning programs. It can be delivered through dedicated courses, workshops, or embedded within subject-specific instruction.
