A key component of teaching: the didactic functions.
Ramón F. Ferreiro Gravie
The article presents the eight most important functions of didactic, as determined by the author from the investigations he undertook for about 25 years, using different methodological approaches: quantitative, qualitative and mixed and different methodological alternatives. Among those, the class observation came off to be the one that provided the most information, contrasting the results of what was observed with indicators such as the students’ academic output and the developing of their intelligence and creativity, among other indicators. The precision of such functions of didactic constitutes the key element of the author’s proposal of both the method ELI and the work of development of teacher’s professional competencies that the author suggests.
