SIANES-BAUTISTA, Alicia. Development of Pedagogy as a discipline and its impact on Higher Education in France. Educ. Form. [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.3, e5324.  Epub Aug 11, 2021. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v6i2.5324.

Pedagogy constitutes a discipline that has been differently developed in Europe. In relation to the European disagreement about Pedagogy and its implications, it is evident that History of Education plays an unquestionable and relevant role. This article studies the historical evolution of Pedagogy as an academic discipline in France through a rigorous historic and educational analysis of the origin and development of scientific Pedagogy. Results show in France have coexisted two clearly differentiated educational trends: teacher training, which was imparted in écoles normales and based on practical contents; and, Pedagogy, which was linked to theoretical study and universities. This collaborates to the fragmentation of the pedagogical discipline and the French institutional structure. In conclusion, despite having impulsed the science of Pedagogy in Europe in the 17th century, its influence and presence in Higher Education has not been successful until recent times.

Keywords : First Higher Education; History of Education; Pedagogy; Pedagogy and Education.
