Abstract
This article approaches the didactics of communication from a theoretical point of view. It draws on the distinction between educational communication and didactic communication and then analyses the forms of didactic communication according to several criteria, the principles based on which school practice is performed and the effects it has on the parties involved in the didactic act. Our work is intended to be (also) a plea for placing didactic communication in a (much more) visible position in the educational process; a status that drives the teacher to continuously adapt to all challenges and thus contribute to its efficiency.
Key words: didactic communication, education, forms, effects, principles of didactic communication
