pädevuspõhine
Pädevuspõhine is a learning and assessment approach that centers on demonstrated competence in defined tasks or outcomes rather than the amount of time spent in class or the number of credits earned. It focuses on what a learner can do and apply in real-world situations, combining knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The concept is widely used in Estonian education and training, particularly in vocational education and adult learning, and is aligned with international trends toward outcome- and skill-based education.
Implementation typically involves clearly defined competence frameworks or standards, authentic learning experiences, and assessments that verify
The pädevuspõhine approach aims to improve employability and lifelong learning by aligning education with labor market
