Pédagogie, pédagogies: perspectives philosophiques, historiques et pratiques contemporaines pour les sciences de l’éducation en France

Abstract

In France, the emergence of the science of education at the end of the 19th century, and of educational sciences as a university discipline in 1967, is consubstantial with the discipline’s interest in pedagogical analysis. This article presents the three main areas in which pedagogy is studied in France today: a first domain of research related to philosophy and sociology, a second field of research focusing on the history of pedagogies and pedagogues, and a third trend dealing with the study of contemporary pedagogies.
