: It is of course not wrong to use the word "didactics" here, but it is not recommended. Se Hamilton's article at http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/14681369900200048

: Eftersom didaktik är läran om undervisning tycker jag att ditt förslag är helt i sin ordning, särskilt som begreppet "didactics" inte används lika utbrett på engelska som "didaktik" på svenska, se http://www.ne.se/didaktik

subject-specific pedagogy
"recent Anglo-American usage of ‘pedagogy’ mirrors the mainland European use of ‘didactic’. /---/didactics has a negative valuation in the Anglo-American mind. It denotes formalist educational practices that combine ‘dogma’ with ‘dullness’ (Oxford English Dictionary). It conjures up the unwelcome European ghosts of an unattractive educational past. By contrast, pedagogics is not an alien notion to Anglo-American educationalists".
David Hamilton (1999): The pedagogic paradox (or why no didactics in England?), Pedagogy, Culture & Society, 7:1, 135-152
Teacher Education /.../at the preschool, elementary or secondary school level. It includes the study of children and youth, school and society, and <b>subject-specific pedagogy</b>.

: Interestingly, all the references to 'didactics' are from non English sources. Translating content/meaning is different from translating words.

subject didactics
”Subject didactics consists of all the reflections one may associate with a subject and the teaching of this subject that may lead to increased knowledge about the nature of the subject, the legitimacy of the subject, and increased knowledge about how the subject can be learned, taught and developed” (Lorentzen et al. 1998:7/Aase 1990 in Norges Forskningsråd [The Research Council of Norway], KUPP [Knowledge development in professional education and practice], p. 51).'
