Nurty myślenia o dydaktyce

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present three currents of thinking about didactics: 1) as a science, 2) as art and 3) as an academic subject. The position of didactics as one of the basic subdisciplines of pedagogy in systematic science was presented. The question whether didactics be long to social sciences was raised. The need to rebuild and reconstruct didactics was emphasized, remembering about its permanent foun dations, complexity, and diversity. Directions of development and va rieties of didactics were recalled. Attention was paid to the problem of marginalizing general didactics as an academic subject in the curricula of pedagogical studies. The narrative was given a tripartite structure complemented with examples of didactic thinking and action, which is part of the systematics of problems proposed by Stanisław Palka.
