HISTORY OF PEDAGOGY

The course aims to develop a general knowledge of the pedagogical debate (theories, models, ideas on education) from the second half of the XIX Century to the present time.

A special focus will be pointed on two detailed issues :

the modernization of the pedagogical debate promoted by the expansion of liberal thought and by the diffusion of progressive social values in the second half of the XIX Century;

the elaboration of a model of education as emancipation promoted by the critical approach on pedagogy across the transition from the 1960s to the 1970s.
