õppimiskava

Õppimiskava (learning plan) is a planning document used in education to describe what a learner will study, how they will learn it, and how learning progress will be measured over a defined period. It can be used in schools, higher education, vocational training, and adult education to organize courses, programs, or individual study efforts.

The main purpose of an õppimiskava is to provide a clear and shared understanding of learning goals, expected competences, and the path to achieve them. It helps learners take responsibility for their studies, enables teachers to tailor instruction, and supports assessment by defining criteria and milestones. A well-designed plan also aids in coordinating teaching activities, resources, and scheduling.

Typical elements of an õppimiskava include learning objectives or competences, the relevant content or topics, teaching and learning methods, a timeline or schedule, assessment criteria and methods, required resources and materials, and provisions for differentiation or accommodations. It may also contain opportunities for reflection and regular revision of the plan based on progress and changing needs.

Development of an õppimiskava is often collaborative, involving students and instructors, and may be adjusted throughout a course or program. In practice, learning plans may be formalized at the level of a single course, a study module, or an individual education plan, and can be supported by digital learning platforms to track progress and update goals.
