formaképzést

Formaképzés is a Hungarian term referring to the process of training aimed at shaping and developing form, technique, or professional identity. The word combines forma (form) and képzés (training/education). In common usage, formaképzés denotes developing the correct technique, pattern, or behavior required for a given activity, craft, or profession, rather than only acquiring factual knowledge.

Depending on the field, formaképzés may emphasize physical form and movement (as in sports or dance), technical form in crafts and industries (such as welding, machining, or carpentry), or professional form, i.e., standards of practice and conduct in vocational education or pedagogy. In education policy and curricula, it can refer to structured training that aims to cultivate consistent performance, safety, and quality by teaching method, form, and routine.

Implementation typically includes explicit demonstration of the desired form, guided practice, feedback, and assessment against defined standards. It may be combined with theoretical instruction, but the emphasis is on form and technique working together with knowledge.

Critically, formaképzés is situational; there is no single universal definition across all domains. The term is used more frequently in Hungarian-language contexts to describe a component of training that ensures learners adopt correct form or professional manner as part of broader skill development.
