Claves para una historia de la psicopedagogía en España

Abstract

Taking as its starting-point new advances in the history of education, this article proposes a number of keys for the study of psychopedagogy. In-depth analysis is made of the traditions stressing psychopedagogical aspects. Subsequently, a study is made of the processes which, during the last third of the 19th century and the early-20th, brought to the sphere of education a series of contributions from different fields: medicine, psy cho lo gy and the social sciences. As a result of this process, the bases were laid for an evolution which culminated in the institutionalisation of psychopedagogy in Spain.
