Abstract

FARIA, André Longo de  and  PESSANHA, Márlon. Didactic Culture: a theoretical perspective to understand (non)innovation in teaching. Educ. Real. [online]. 2022, vol.47, e117420. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236117420vs01.

Different studies have signaled the difficulty teachers have in innovating their classroom practices. To better understand this difficulty, this article proposes the notion of didactic culture. In view of the concepts of culture, school culture, area culture and scientific culture and didactic transposition, the concept of didactic culture is presented as a way of understanding the social mechanisms that act in the microcosm of the classroom, working as the fluid medium that both enables and restrains practical innovations. At the end, it presents an example of the use of the concept research and future perspectives of theoretical elaboration.

Keywords : Innovation; Culture; Didactic Culture; School Culture; Teaching Practices.
