Abstract

Didactics is used in schools to analyze learning situations and to use the
analysis to determine and justify how teaching is conducted. A didactic
evaluation of the teaching and learning of science subjects in the
secondary schools has been a challenge to educators in the Niger Delta
region as a result of militancy. This paper examines didactic models in
the answering of the four didactic consideration questions of: what should
be taught; why should it be taught; how should it be taught; to whom
should it be taught. This is pertinent as the yardstick for the usability of
didactic theory of knowledge is successful teaching; also this area has
only been investigated to a limited extent, especially from difficult
circumstances like militancy.
