Abstract

In every aspect of everyday teaching
process, the teacher is called to make decisions which determine the
achievement of predetermined objectives. Every such decisions shall be taken
considering a number of preconditions, as a part of a rational approach. Since
teaching is a dynamic process in which every action can alter the expected
outcome, any decision involves small or large “risk” rate. The current survey
firstly tries to give a theoretical context of “didactic risk” based both on data
from other scientific fields and on assumptions about planning the teaching
procedure. Secondly, it examines the views of Greek teachers about what they
think to be “risk in teaching process’.

Keywords
