Notes to answerer
Asker: this is difficult as I dont think we have this in our system, so I think teachers is the closest

Asker: I think teachers may be too general

Asker: sorry, dont think this fits the bill, difficult, as not sure we have the term over here

agree  Lancashireman: Oh, another way of saying 'pedagogues' then? // In the light of Dr Timm’s reservations, this is beginning to sound more like an ‘educationist’. Also forms a nice pairing with your ‘educator’ on asker’s previous question.

Specialist/expert on elementary school didactics


Explanation:
Ein “Didaktiker” ist kein Lehrer, sondern entweder ein Professor mit dem Fachgebiet Didaktik [Pädagogik] oder ein Experte auf dem Gebiet der Didaktik.
In Bezug auf diese Definition würde ich mein CL bei 5 ansetzen!
Ich bin aber nicht sicher, ob der vorgeschlagene englische Begriff die korrekte Entsprechnung darstellt -- deshalb CL 4.

agree  Erik Freitag: So ist es./Ich glaube, Deine Ergänzungen nach Andrews Hinweis sind eher Verschlechterungen: Klassischerweise stehen Didaktik (was?) und Methodik (wie?) einander gegenüber./Ja, stimmt natürlich, das Problem sehe ich. Keine Ahnung, wie die damit umgehen...

  -> Danke f. d. Bestätigung/ an UK/CAN/US Unis scheint d. Begriff "didactics" im Ber. Pädagogik nicht verwendet zu werden, daher mein Ausweichen auf methodology.
neutral  Lancashireman: “Those who can, do; those who can't, teach; and those who can’t teach become didacticians.” http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/12/messages/654.htm... // Not while ‘didactics’ is part of the headline: ‘teaching and learning styles’, ‘method(ology)’ etc

  -> cute variation - may I take it as confirmation of my suggestion?
