Problematic Issues Regarding Didactic Paradigms

In this paper, I propose to change the status of the notion of didactic paradigm that, until now, has functioned in the didactic community as a para-didactic object, that is, as an almost transparent instrument, useful only to analyse other objects. I will show that, to formulate and approach some problems from the perspective of the anthropological theory of the didactic, it is necessary to consider didactic paradigms as objects of study in themselves. Among these problems are those that refer to: the development of the notion of reference epistemological model; the relativity of didactic analysis; and the delimitation of the object of study of didactics as a science.
