lõimatakse

Lõimatakse is an Estonian word that translates to "is integrated" or "is interwoven" in English. It is the passive present participle of the verb "lõimida," which means to integrate, interweave, or blend. The term is often used in educational contexts to describe the approach where different subjects or skills are combined to provide a more holistic learning experience. This method aims to connect seemingly separate areas of knowledge, showing students how they relate to each other and to the real world.

In practice, lõimatakse can be seen in curriculum design where themes or projects span multiple disciplines. For instance, a history lesson on a particular era might be lõimitud with art studies of the period, literature from that time, and even scientific advancements. The goal is to move away from isolated subject teaching towards a more connected and meaningful understanding. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of knowledge and promotes a deeper engagement with the material by demonstrating its relevance and application across different fields. This approach can also extend beyond academic subjects to include the integration of various learning methods and student support services within an educational institution.
