Summary/Abstract: Problems of the environment are of concern, among others, to social pedagogy. The subject of research in the field is very large and is still expanding. This can be noticed in the case of media, whose rapid development brings forth new questions and pedagogical dilemmas. This paper refers to an attempt to establish mesological pedagogy as a branch of educational sciences. The attempt was undertaken in Western Europe in 1950s. Mesological pedagogy is concerned solely with the pedagogical aspect of the environments of human beings (family, school, workplace, religious community, etc.). As indicated by the etymology of its name, it is a study of the environment. Therefore, the author of this paper presents reasons for the continuation of research in the field of mesological pedagogy. This will be of benefit to social pedagogy and will open new directions of development in the broad study of the environments of contemporary humans.
