õppimispäevik

An õppimispäevik, which translates to "learning diary" or "learning log" in English, is a tool used by students to reflect on their learning process. It serves as a personal record of what has been learned, how it was learned, and what challenges were encountered. The primary purpose of an õppimispäevik is to foster metacognitive skills, encouraging learners to think about their own thinking and learning strategies.

Students typically record key concepts, new vocabulary, and important ideas from lessons or readings. Beyond simply summarizing content, the õppimispäevik prompts introspection. Learners might write about their understanding of a topic, identify areas of confusion or difficulty, and brainstorm potential solutions or further questions. It can also include reflections on study habits, time management, and the effectiveness of different learning techniques.

The benefits of maintaining an õppimispäevik are numerous. It can enhance comprehension and retention of material by requiring active engagement with the content. By identifying learning gaps and difficulties, students can seek targeted help and adjust their approach. Furthermore, the process of regular reflection can boost self-awareness regarding personal learning styles and preferences, leading to more independent and effective learning in the long run. Teachers may sometimes assign õppimispäevik entries as a form of assessment, focusing on the quality of reflection rather than just the accuracy of the content.
