Abstract

Pedagogy answers the question “How to educate?” While teaching makes the question “How do you teach?”. Both questions have their own perspective: that of pedagogy is the why and wherefore of education (anthropologicalphilosophical horizon) and the didactics is the why and wherefore of education (historical-practical horizon). Education is a complex, broad and comprehensive, while teaching, or virtual, is a specific task. The teaching is systematic and scientific orientation of educational work, the teaching is the act of teaching. There is, therefore, in this approach, we might call a praxeological relationship between knowledge and social practice, and between global and specific. The problem is that, while practical theory, pedagogy should be based on an already established science, but the “science education” (including teaching) are still under construction. The problem becomes more complex when we address the relationship between education and information technologies and communication between education and virtuality.
