The article analyzes the foundations of the humanities and educational sciences. It evaluates the concept of science, created from classical physics and extended as the standard model of all knowledge considered as scientific. The text highlights debates and the theoretical and methodological foundations that gave grounds to the German quarrel of the sciences at the beginning of the last century and the consequent distinction between the explanatory objectives of the natural sciences and the understanding purpose human sciences. The epistemological question of science was taken up by philosophers of science in the middle of the last century, renewing the contemporary scientific conception. The human sciences have consolidated their relevance in the scientific field and education has created a wide area of studies and research, added many researchers in management and teaching-learning, forming the scientific field of education. The historical concept of pedagogy as a practical application of educational theories was supplanted by the epistemological and methodological change of the education sciences and by the advance of scientific production and the qualified diffusion of educational researches.
