CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIDACTICS

Abstract

Didactics as a pedagogical discipline that studies general issues of moral education, education, learning, and development within the framework of teaching has changed alongside socio-economic and technical-technological changes. Ever since John Amos Comenius and his Didactica Magna there have been changes related to concepts of education and moral education, to new paradigms formed, and to anchor points as regards to understanding basic premises of education and moral education. Starting from the fact that all these changes have been reflected in positioning of students and teachers within the system of education and moral education as well as thoughts on the place and role of teaching content, the paper focuses on the elements of didactic triangle, with a view to identifying challenges that will have to be ‘endured’ by students, teachers, teaching content, as well as teaching technology as didactic logistics. Through thoughts on the challenges encountering didactics from the point of view of forthcoming global changes, the author attempts at identifying and clarifying the perspective of its future development at the time ahead.
