Abstract

The publication Didactic principles in science education: a methodological guide for teachers of biology, chemistry, physics, geography, informatics, mathematics and environmental education (Jančaříková et al., 2022) was presented at the online conference Two days with didactics of mathematics on 10 February 2022 in Room B at 14.30 - 15.00h. Didactic principles are general recommendations concerning the process of teaching, including requirements for the organization, course and effectiveness of education, the choice of didactic means and tools for interpreting and presenting the material to students.

Their knowledge and respect are among the basic professional skills of a good teacher across all levels of the education system. It can be an important support in the planning, preparation, implementation and evaluation of educational activities.

Science education has certain specificities that naturally translate into thinking about how to teach science topics properly and also into thinking about didactic principles in science education. What are the specifics of didactic principles in science education? This question was asked by a broad author collective (16 didacticians from 7 disciplines).
