Summary/Abstract: this article presents a historical overview of the development of social pedagogy since its very beginnings throughout recent days. The analysis enables identification of several key stages related to the dominant understanding of social pedagogy in a certain historical period. The first one refers to the concept of education for community that is developed by several German philosophers and educators whose theories have marked out the development of social pedagogy during the 19th century.
