The Psycho-pedagogical Paradigm of Discipline Didactics

This book approaches the establishment of a paradigm necessary for the elaboration of specialized didactics within postmodern pedagogy. The proposed model of the paradigm of science didactics contains guidelines related to the “teacher’s art of teaching”, stimulating learning and checking the results based on classical concepts and principles of general didactics. This paradigm identifies and relates the basic epistemological structure of the discipline to the psychological structure of the learner’s personality, individual and age particularities, as well as the nature of the socio-cultural environment represented by the family, community and school. This paradigm supports a type of structure of the didactics of the specialty that stimulates the teacher’s initiative concerning the optimum correlation between the dimension of the informative and formative pedagogical message.
