PEDAGOGY AS A SCIENCE OF EDUCATION: BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICE

The main objective of this work was to highlight some contributions of theoretical-scientific knowledge about pedagogy as a science of education. It is important to consider that, as a methodological procedure, theoretical support was sought through a bibliographic review related to the topic. Therefore, as this project does not intend to exhaust the possibilities for discussion on the subject, some points were highlighted and aspects considered relevant to the field of study of pedagogy and the areas of the activity of the pedagogue today. It is also worth highlighting that conceptual discussions were raised in order to characterize the current definitions of the term, considering, above all, the expansion of the concept of education in contemporary times. In this direction, we sought the theoretical framework of José Carlos Libâneo and Moacir Gadotti, among other scholars on this topic.
