The methodology of developing the competence of didactic communication within the pedagogical disciplines through learning situations is a procedural scheme that aims at making the didactic approach more efficient and is dimensioned in such a way as to predict an educational reality generating knowledge, mobiles, beliefs, values in students in the process of teaching. We considered it appropriate to designate this approach as a methodology, given that it is a design, organization, and realization of a suite of learning situations, designating an actionally and operationally flexible approach (which can be modified, adapted), linked to objectives and situations that create the conditions of teaching and learning, changes in attitudes and behaviors in diverse, particular didactic contexts. The analysis of the categories of learning situations led to their synthesis in two general categories - receptive learning situations and investigative learning situations - that offer the possibility to implement and validate in the higher education the methodology of developing the competence of didactic communication through learning situations within pedagogical disciplines.
