Didactics, either as a macro-theory or a micro-theory and methodology of teaching, constitutes its theoretical background, thus significantly contributing to decisions made about the models, methods, and means employed in the instructional design. In this respect, it refers to the theory and practical applications which underlie instruction. Its wide range of definitions, which are based on different and often conflicting theoretical approaches, have sustained an ongoing reflection and debate on the epistemological entity of Didactics. The present study views Didactics as the framework for the scientific and theoretical documentation of teaching, which it perceives as a complex multifactorial phenomenon.

During its operation, at the end of the morning shift, the ‘holoimero’ or ‘all day’ school seeks for the creative occupation of the students who decide to participate in its programme, which includes activities not offered in the morning shift. The present research investigates the factors of the effectiveness of ‘holoimero’ that, according to some of its teachers, are of great importance. The main argument of the present study is that certain variables are related to the effectiveness of the ‘holoimero’ school. Some of these variables are school financing and autonomy, school climate, openness to the community, flexibility, pedagogical innovation, and active involvement of those concerned with the organisation and implementation of the curriculum.
