Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the results of the theoretical-historical study and research of the thoughts and ideas of Sreten Adžić (1856-1933), a famous pedagogue and the leading representative of the Pestalocian orientation in our pedagogy. The subject of study is the analysis of the most significant Adžić theses focused on the development and work of the Male Teacher's School in Jagodina. We see the significance of this work in the interpretation of Sreten Adžić's views on upbringing and education, which greatly influenced the modernization of teaching, as well as in the presentation of his advanced visions of creating an innovative school environment with field classrooms, workshops, practice rooms, a botanical garden, and a boarding school. We will try to look at contemporary pedagogical issues from a historical perspective while presenting Adžić's ideas still relevant today.
