Didactism is a pedagogical approach that focuses on the imparting of information and guidance in a direct and instructional manner. It is often associated with the formal academic setting and traditional teaching methods. Synonyms for didactism include pedantry, dogmatism, doctrinarianism, moralizing, sermonizing, scholasticism, and didacticism. All these terms are closely related to the idea of instructing others in a systematic and authoritative manner. However, the negative connotations surrounding these words can be avoided by emphasizing the positive aspects of didactism, such as the transmission of knowledge and the development of critical thinking skills in learners.
