THE ROLE OF DIDACTIC ABILITY IN THE TEACHER’S PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY

Abstract

The article examines the essence, structure and role of didactic ability in the professional activity of a teacher. Didactic ability is interpreted as the teacher’s capacity to present learning material in an accessible, coherent and engaging form and to guide students’ cognitive activity. Five interrelated components are identified: design, explanation, activation, feedback and reflection. The levels of development of didactic ability (reproductive, adaptive and creative) are described, and practical ways of improving it are substantiated.
