Tanítható

Tanítható is a Hungarian adjective meaning "able to be taught" or "teachable." It is formed from the verb tanít (to teach) with the suffix -ható, which marks possibility or capability. The term is used to describe content, skills, or subjects that can be effectively conveyed through instruction. In contrast to tanulható (learnable), which describes what a learner can acquire, tanítható emphasizes the teachability of the material or method itself—that is, whether appropriate pedagogy can transmit the content.

Etymology and form: derived from tanít + -ható, following the standard Hungarian pattern that expresses potential. The form can appear in different grammatical contexts, such as tanítható anyag (teachable material), tanítható készség (teachable skill), or tanítható fogalom (teachable concept).

Usage: Common in education discourse, curriculum design, and educational psychology to discuss whether content is accessible to instruction, the required scaffolding, and possible pedagogical approaches. Some concepts may be teachable in principle but require adaptation to learners’ prior knowledge or cognitive load.

Examples: A tananyag tanítható a korosztályhoz igazítva. A komplex fogalom taníthatóbbá tehető megfelelő didaktikai módszerekkel.
