RODRIGUEZ SEDANO, Alfredo. Towards an Epistemological Foundation of Social Pedagogy. educ.educ. [online]. 2006, vol.9, n.2, pp.131-147. ISSN 0123-1294.

Theoretical and Epistemological foundation of Social Pedagogy requires getting back to its origins and historical background, in order to clarify the objective of studying Social Pedagogy. The different specialized authors' points of view will help us to see the panorama of what people understand by Social Pedagogy. From this panorama we will be able to take out the sociological referents that constitute the noetic foundation of this Science. At the end, we will propose a new definition (according to those referents) that will give a more precise and real dimension to Social Pedagogy.

Palabras clave : Social Pedagogy; Social Education; Epistemology; Sociology of Education; Theory of Education.
