The source explains the fundamental distinction between a didactician and a pedagogue, emphasizing their complementary roles in education. A pedagogue is a specialist in the science of education, focusing on the holistic formation of the individual and on philosophical, psychological and social aspects of learning. In contrast, a didactician is an expert in teaching a specific subject, responsible for the design, implementation and evaluation of the educational process for that subject. The text also details the distinct role of a teacher who teaches the didactics of the specialty, a “meta-didactician” who trains future teachers, teaching them how to teach a particular subject effectively, making the connection between pedagogical theory and practical application.
