Didactics is a fundamental branch of educational science that focuses on the analysis and intervention in the teaching-learning process, with the main objective of facilitating and optimizing students' intellectual development.

This discipline studies the best strategies, methods, and techniques for effectively transmitting knowledge, ensuring that students not only receive information but also understand, assimilate, and can apply it in different contexts.

Furthermore, didactics can be understood as the pedagogical aspect that deals with the art of teaching. This involves not only the simple transfer of knowledge but also the ability to present and explain concepts in a clear and accessible way, adapting to the needs and characteristics of students.

In this sense, the educator plays an active role, designing and using teaching resources that facilitate meaningful learning and promote students' critical and creative development.

What are its governing principles and fundamental elements?

# data[].attributes.body
The principles of didactics are based on the approach to content or curriculum, methodology, the psychological problems students may have, and the results of their performance as a result of assessment. This allows for the formation of the fundamental elements governed by the practice-theory-practice cycle; where theory refers to the knowledge acquired during the teaching and learning process, and practice refers to the application of such acquired knowledge.

Beginning: In this stage, the teacher presents the session objectives and explains the planned activities. They also encourage students to share their prior knowledge of the topic and connect the content to situations in their daily lives.

Development: In this stage, the previously designed activities are developed.

Closing: The closing phase is the culminating phase where the fundamental concepts developed during the session are summarized, the learning achieved is assessed, and, where relevant, connections are made to subsequent content.

Teaching schedules can be structured in different ways: weekly, daily, or by class session. This tool is essential for organizing teaching work efficiently, as it helps to properly distribute activities within the schedules established by the educational institution. Thanks to this planning, teachers can anticipate and balance learning tasks, avoiding both overload and insufficient content.

As an inherent component of the education system, evaluation is developed on an ongoing and methodological basis. Its fundamental role is to generate objective evidence on the development of the instructional process, providing input for the continuous improvement of the education system and its program components.

Didactics is the science of education that studies and influences the teaching-learning process to achieve the intellectual development of students. It is considered part of pedagogy and the art of teaching, instructing, and explaining clearly.

Its objectives include understanding basic terminology, defining Didactics, recognizing its usefulness, situating it within the field of Educational Sciences, identifying the elements involved in the teaching act, understanding the roles of the teacher and the student, and distinguishing between formal and informal areas of intervention.

Regarding its elements, Didactics has a theoretical aspect (knowledge about the teaching and learning processes) and a practical aspect (application of this knowledge in real-life situations).

The material object of Didactics is the teaching-learning process, while its formal object is the prescription of effective methods and strategies for its development. Some authors point out that its object covers teaching, learning, instruction, communication of knowledge, the communication system and the teaching-learning processes.
