Didactics and Self-Regulated Learning in Technology Enhanced Learning Environments

Abstract

Didactics is a discipline of pedagogics; in fact, it is sometimes considered to be the pedagogical core discipline. Didactics is often defined as the science of teaching and learning. Didactical models provide sets of criteria which teachers can use to plan, carry out and evaluate their lessons. Although theories and models of didactics do take the learner into consideration, their main focus is on instruction, i.e.on the process of teaching.
