Didactics is that branch of educational science that refers both to the theories of the teaching process and to the knowledge of teaching methods with the forms, principles, and models that ensure the effectiveness of teaching.

In the present Dictionary, you will find definitions, history, theories, authors and educators, methods and principles, and teaching plans, with rich bibliographical references.
