Shouldn't this fall under subtopic: Academic Degree, "In Denmark all pedagogues are trained at a series of national institutes for social educators located in all major cities. The programme is a 3.5-year academic course, giving the student the title of a Bachelor in Social Education (Danish: Professionsbachelor som pædagog).[9]
It is also possible to earn a master's degree in pedagogy/educational science from the University of Copenhagen. This BA and MA program has a more theoretical focus compared to the above mentioned Bachelor in Social Education."? 117.221.180.174 (talk) 14:55, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
"But a pedagogue can occupy various kinds of jobs, e.g. in retirement homes, prisons, orphanages, and human resource management. These are often recognised as social pedagogues as they perform on behalf of society." With reference to English or all the world specifically? 117.221.180.174 (talk) 14:49, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Run a what links here. and one for Organizational learning, self-organization. We'll see what shows up. That might build enough context to create plenary context. I personally do not think average people like the word pedagogy because it reminds them of being put to sleep in class. But I don't see how academia can discuss scientific topics without this term or one like it. Definately this article has plenty of headroom. Quinobi 8 July 2005 15:25 (UTC)
It's interesting that this word has just come into existance. It appears that it was not used before 2000 when it suddenly started appearing in textbook reviews and was added to the American Heritage dictionary. I'll do some more research to see what I can find and return.
I doubt on the definition given here. Pedagogy is a more broad term, not for just teaching but also for education and child upbringing and the social conditions in which. See also the german, French and Dutch interwiki's. The term is more common in those languages. My English is not good enough to correct it. --Joep Zander 21:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Definitely Pedagogy is not the same as "education"; being the latter the subject matter of the former. At the moment, I am working in expanding this article adding a more precise definition of pedagogy that clarifies the boundaries between pedagogy and other disciplines. Unfortunatelly, as I do not have much time this may take a month or so to be finish. This expansion is being made in my pedagogy sandbox. Feel free to check it and make any suggestions or comments. Gabo Xandre (talk) 18:18, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
this: "Dave Weiss' definition- The art or science of teaching(.)" was in the article, doesn't belong there, but perhaps someone knows what it refers to? Brassratgirl 04:53, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
A claim, that "paidagogos" was bringing slave children to school is possibly not correct. If some interpreters say that he brought slave children to school, this should be refferred to. I have information that it was just an old slave who carried child's things (musical instruments etc) on the way to school and looked for him/her, because he didn't do for other work any more, but this child has not to be slave at all. --84.50.147.158 13:03, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I rewrote the whole section on the Greek tradition, since it was entirely wrong. Jefkakk 22:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I noticed someone keeps removing the language reference to Lojban. Although I know nothing about it, it does point to a legitimate page and although there are a ridiculously tiny group of speakers it seems a legitimate link. Please discuss here before deleting it again! Thanks! Alex Jackl 05:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
The article indicates that pedagogy means roughly the same as education. The education theory section of education forwards to pedagogy as its main article; this seems strange, considering the lack of meaningful content on this page so far.
What justifies having a second article? Perhaps it would be better to just forward to education? --Andrew Robertson 00:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
In the third line of the first paragraph, when the Ancient Greek etymology is given and then dissected, there is an inconsistency between the Greek and the English transliteration. The dissection of the Greek word παιδαγωγέω is shown as παίς + άγω. παίς is transliterated correctly as país, but άγω is transliterated as ági.
If the Greek is correct, then the English should read ágo, but if the English is correct (that is, the Greek word for the verb 'to lead' is ági), then the Greek should read άγι. I don't remember much of my Greek vocabulary, but from what I do remember, the dictionary form of most verbs ended in ω, meaning the English transliteration should be changed.
Can someone please confirm this? If the Ancient Greek verb 'to lead' is άγω, can we please change the English transliteration? I would do it, but again, I don't remember enough of my Greek grammar and vocab to be certain on this. Thanks. Jclu (talk) 19:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
The correct transliteration is, indeed, "ago". The reason for this mistake presumably lies in the fact that modern Greek pronounce the Greek letter omega as "i". 195.80.106.39 (talk) 13:48, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
No, omega is pronounced "o" in modern Greek, or rather like the o in the English word "more". Maybe the mistake stems from the fact that omikron+iota is pronounced "i" (like the double e in the English word "eel"). The error is corrected anyway. But why is μικρό παιδί explained twice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.130.38.182 (talk) 13:57, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Surely there are times in every teachers career when your students drive you crazy. But, you must keep your head above the water and preserve your calmness. Now, here is this new quasi Ancient Greek word nobody ever heard that matches your thoughts well. Just think of it, and smile mysteriously...
Q: How would we name art or science of being a teacher to very hard learners?
A: Onodagogy, from the Ancient Greek ὅνοδαγωγέω (onodagōgeō; from ὅνος onos: donkey and άγω ági: lead; literally, "to lead the donkey”)
Where's the article about Psychopedagogy in English Wikipedia, an important pedagogical study nowadays? (See Psicopedagogia.) --Roberto Cruz (talk) 20:29, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Just a quick FYI note - I changed the redirect on Teaching to point to this article. It was pointed at Teacher, and a user had expressed some concern that they're really two separate subjects; Teaching is about what is done, and Teacher is about who does it. The user had suggested Education. I agreed with him/her that a change should be made, but felt Education was a bit broad, covering both the teaching and the learning sides of the coin, so I picked this article instead. I also added links in this article to both Education and Teacher, to kind of make sure everyone gets to the right place. Applejuicefool (talk) 14:50, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Yes it's better to redirect here than there. --AaThinker (talk) 12:43, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
This section seems to be almost entirely an explanation of the Sudbury model of education, and its inclusion seems inappropriate, especially as it is far longer than the actual explanation of pedagogy. Surely such an explanation should be on the Sudbury model page, rather than here. 77.99.163.40 (talk) 11:42, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
After consideration, have deleted this entire section and its associated links as it is neither on the subject of pedagogy, nor does it actually make specfic criticisms of pedagogy. 77.99.163.40 (talk) 08:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
It may be helpful to have a discussion of didactic transformation at this page. 132.70.50.117 (talk) 10:21, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Afaik, this needs to be clarified in the copy: παιδαγωγέιν (paidagōgein) is "to lead [a child]" ≠ "I lead [a child]". "I lead" a child is παιδαγωγέω (paidagōgeō) – αγωγέω: I lead. Afaik I [verb] is standard Greek practice in listing verbs. The infinitive (to ...) is English at least. 110.32.236.232 (talk) 13:40, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
I could be coming at this from a British angle, but I feel that in British English, the word "pedagogue" has a negative connotation, meaning a "pedantic, dogmatic, and formal" person, to quote dictionary.com. In fact, the online Oxford English Dictionary has this as its first definition of pedagogue. (I remember being very intrigued when I moved to North America from the UK and heard the word used in a neutral sense!)
I don't wish to be a pedagogue myself, but could this perhaps be reflected somewhere in the article? Paulbuckingham (talk) 01:14, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
I once had a Czeck friend who was studying and always used the word pedagogy (as the english word), I used to stare at her blankly as this word has no meaning for me! Perhaps it is just my ignorance, but I should say that I have a teaching degree! Not once - as far as I recall - did the word pedagogy get mentioned during my training. I suspect, as others in this talk section have indicated, that "pedagogy" is used very differently in different countries, and perhaps this different usage (or frequency of use) needs to be better reflected in the article. Certainly in British English it is a rarely used and cumbersome word.

A few users have been making edits such as this, that say "In Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Germany and more countries, Pedagogy is not the study to be a teacher or the process of teaching. In these countries, Pedagogy is the Science of Education." I'm not sure that the term is different in different countries - this is probably just a problem with vague wording, not a problem with the definition actually being different. Is there a good source for these countries having such a radically different approach? All the best — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 17:29, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
My name is Jonathan García, I've studied Pedagogy at the National University of Mexico (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México - UNAM) and I am a Pedagogue cum laude and I'm gonna receive the Gabino Barreda Medal, so I can talk about the meaning of the term Pedagogy.
1. Pedagogy, in Mexico and many countries of LatinAmerica and Europe, is not the study to be a teacher, because the study to be a techer is different. It is also called "normalismo" in the spanish language and the school for teachers are differente from the school for pedagogues. Pedagogue is not a teacher.
2. In this case, Pedagogy is the science of education. The ]pedagogy is the science of education and works with other sciences like Sociology, Psichology, Philosophy, and others, to understand what is edcation and do it something to improve that. A pedagogue is not a teacher. A pedagogue is a professional who works whit a lot of resuorces to understand the education phenomen. So, a pedagogue can work in curriculum development, curriculum evaluation, training, educational research and more. A pedagogue could be a teacher if take the spetialization course for that or become a teacher about Pedagogy, but cannot be a teachor for child or youngsters without the course of specialization.
3. The meaning of the term Pedagogy is different in USA, Uk and other countries like Mexico or France or Chile. In Mexico (I am from Mexico) is the Science of education. I am a Pedagogue and I am not a teacher, I am a educational researcher. But, in Chile Pedagogy is the study to be a teacher and we can found some persons that study Pedagogy because they want to become a teacher in spanish, english, math, geography, etc.
4. This is the real meaning of Pedagogy in other countries. So the latest paragraphs (edited by an IP adress) were correct. Is correct that they said. All is correct. I want to know why you delete that because is true what they say. I wanna know too if anyone of you are a Pedagogue, because if you arent a Pedagogue you dont have the authority to edit or talk about Pedagogy cause you don't know whta is Pedagogy.
Thanks for your attention and I hope you add this specifications about Pedagogy in the Wikipedia page, cause its important that the people knows the meaning of Pedagogy out the english-language countries.

Hi, it's me, again (Jonathan García)
Well, thank you for yor answer, I think about the option to create an account in Wikipedia, but it cuold be later.
Hmm, I have many links that describes the meaning of Pedagogy in the latinamerican context. For example (all in spanish):
http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/pdf/1341/134112603005.pdf
http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/src/inicio/ArtPdfRed.jsp?iCve=134112603003
http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/src/inicio/ArtPdfRed.jsp?iCve=30512376004
http://redalyc.uaemex.mx/redalyc/src/inicio/ArtPdfRed.jsp?iCve=194114586006
These links are only a examples about the complex of the meaning of Pedagogy in the latinamerican Academy. Tehere are more articles, books and resources but not in the Internet yet. But, for this moment, the links that I give you are really good for understand the theory of Pedagogy in other countries.
See you soon and good luck.

Hi, is me, Jonathan García, again.
Ok. My opinion is:
1. You are not a Pedagogue. Im so sorry for that because you only use the dictionary to describe a word like Pedagogy and you don't know nothing about Pedagogy (in the english or spanish language).
2. When people who don't know nothing about a specific science, talk about that science, only make mistakes and say falses sentences. This is too bad for the other people and it makes Wikipedia a very false site, with false information and a lot of mistakes. For that, Wikipedia cannot be a real resource for students and researchers.
3. the people who comes to Wikipedia to learn about something like Pedagogy (in this case) only read an incomplete idea of the term and cannot understand the meaning of the term (not at least a beat).
4. Don't answer or add something more, cause I don't gonna continue this "conversation". You are not a Pedagogue and you cannot understand what is Pedagogy (in englisgh or spanish).
But I have a question Why you talk about pedagogy if you don't know what is that? Why you do it if you aren't a pedagogue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.114.88.22 (talk) 01:24, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I know that you did provide sources, but I'm afraid that I don't read Spanish, so I can't cross-check them. I can ask one of our Spanish-speaking editors to check them if you like, but if there really is such a big divide between Latin American and Europe versus English-speaking countries, then I think it must be documented in English somewhere as well. I'll try and have a search for sources, but as I am not a pedagogue I obviously won't know where to look as well as you do. If you can help I would greatly appreciate it. All the best — Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 07:45, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
1. There is not a sufficient source supporting the definition
2. The definition is so vague that many world argue it is wrong
3. The correct definition is far more complex than the one stated.
In the UK there is a very low academic level of pedagogy compared to other Western countries (especially Scandinavia and Germany).
Many countries are trying to adapt the Scandinavian level of pedagogy and thus changing the meaning of the word.
The term is not the be confused with social pedagogy, where the society (represented by social pedagogues) holds a larger part of the responsibility of the child's upbringing. http://eprints.ioe.ac.uk/58/1/may_18_09_Ped_BRIEFING__PAPER_JB_PP_.pdf

The article should include more information about Critical pedagogy, for example: 1. Critical pedagogy is philosophy of education aimed at developing an awareness of freedom, ability to recognize authoritarian tendencies, and use their knowledge and power to take constructive action to correct those tendencies 2. The idea of critical pedagogy draws on ideas used in feminism, anarchism, radical democracy, and other social movements. 3. Critical pedagogy draws on students ability to critically think about their educational situation, which allows them to recognize similarities between their problems and experiences to the social contexts in which society the student is embedded. 4.Upon realizing these issues, the student can then reflect on them in an effort to find ways to correct the issues.Huai Jiang (talk) 17:16, 3 December 2012 (UTC) This is part of college course project
this article is addressing Pedagogy as directly related with teaching, but what about pedagogy of social learning? or pedagogy of autonomous learning environments? or shouldn't we talk about pedagogy when describing the design of technology enhanced learning?

I was looking to educate myself on techniques / the study to help kids quicker overcome hurdles they struggle with and focus upon. I was looking for the right word/speciality studying everything related to developing emotional skills / interaction, like iso hitting a class mate, more intelligent ways to interact. I was very impressed by a group specialising in introducing massage based techniques in classes. Anyway, so I thought to start at the article of pedagogy and find it as one of the chapters/fields in the article on pedagogy. But there's nothing. I understand such a list would form automatically as the article expands into more topics and the auto-index feature would start creating such a list. But nevertheless and as there is nothing. Shouldn't there we start such a list? Herewith an assist. Thy and if anybody can point me to links on how to facilitate kids overcome hurdles in the emotional/touching, I'd be very appreciative. --SvenAERTS (talk) 11:56, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

The section about history only deals with Herbart. Pedagogy didn't start with Herbart, even though his work was very important. I suggest that we should follow the book "History of Pedagogy" (1892) by Gabriel Compayré. It's a very good book and its copyright has expired. Here's the link: "History of Pedagogy" (1892) by Gabriel Compayré
The article says: "An article from Kathmandu Post published on June 3, 2018 described the usual first day of school in an academic calendar. Teachers meet their students with distinct traits. Attributional diversity among these children or teens exceeds similarities. Educators have to teach students with different cultural, social, and religious backgrounds. This situation entails a differentiated strategy in pedagogy and not the traditional approach for teachers to accomplish goals efficiently."
Thanks for not forcing lazy links on us, appreciate the extra time! Very clear! ...and rare here...
"....range from furthering liberal education (the general development of human potential) to the narrower specifics of vocational education (the imparting and acquisition of specific skills)."

That section should be re-written in plain English, stop stuttering. And it does NOT say how to pronounce the word, all it has is a lazy link to a lesson in "Help:IPA/English." Really!? Does anybody think the reader actually came here for that? Is IPA fluency being assumed here? ...Or else get off this page and go study over there? ? Kind of ironic, given the topic here.

In the text is written: "Pedagogy is often described as the act of teaching." However, Pedagogy is originated in Germany and focusses on "Bildung": the tradition of (self-)cultivation, of becoming "whole" as a person through education. Pedagogy is, in my experience, broader than teaching, learning how to teach and discovering the best method of teaching. This direct association with teaching is more prevalent in anglo-american literature. If you look at other countries like Germany, Finland, Belgium,... pedagogy includes far more than just teaching. Can we (or I) rewrite this? Or specify the differences between countries/traditions to make this clear?

When I am less busy I may be able to do it myself drawing from her wiki page, related pages, and their sources … but this is not really my background so I’ll also suggest it here in case anyone else wants to do it.
There is obviously a lot of work to be done on this article because it is a very broad subject. For example historical and modern pedagogy perspectives from Africas, indigenous Australians, indigenous Americans are not present at all as far as I can see. Women in pedagogy also seem relatively undercovered — Montessori is a very big name in the field! But we have to start somewhere so I suggest starting with adding her in. 2600:1700:25BF:9800:1DE:A25D:8D71:68A1 (talk) 17:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
