General didactics and special didactics

Abstract

A study about special didactics can not be considered separately from a revision about the teaching of culture and of the priorities which are established in it. Logocentric, psycocentric and empirocentric approaches bear different syllabuses and organisational options and imply different needs with respect to preliminary and permanent teacher training. However, and in spite of the different points of view, it is possible to synthesise from experience. The one we analyse here, tries to combine the way to present the contents (logocentric, psycocentric or empirocentric), the treatment that they are given together with the teaching aims (formal, axiological, mental or culture-giving).
