Naturally, one of the humans’ principal needs is the knowledge requirement, then from the beginning of the ages the human has looked for the way to know, therefore, in every society throughout history, however primitive it is, There has always been present the education.
Right from the beginning, education was assigned the status of an art – the art of teaching, of leading children to knowledge. The profession of educator first emerged in Ancient Greece. Back then, the role of educator was performed by slaves.
At the end of the 19th century, the development of such scientific fields as sociology and psychology is accompanied by the emergence of pedagogy as an applied science. Nowadays, pedagogy is treated as a science with the understanding that its ultimate objective, as in the other cases, is not so much to describe or explain but instead to guide the process of teaching and learning. It is as a discipline geared towards the practical application of acquired knowledge.
Thus, the history of pedagogy is the history of pedagogues, as Jean Houssaye put it, Jean Piaget, John Locke, practitioners and theorists of the instructional process, whose practical skills employed in the educational process are more important than theoretical concepts, and vice versa.
