Summary/Abstract: I never set out to determine how to put up a pedagogy of science education. I note that historically it had difficulty enough to move away from philosophy (primarily), then move away from the other two sciences: psychology and sociology. However, four or five centuries ago, the evolution of the new"science" had little chance of a rapid and authoritative development, since every science needs a strong labor for conceptual delineation to determine the "zone" that it theorize, to establish principles and methods of analysis of spatial reference. Finally, the pedagogy will need a sufficiently clear distinction from psychology, a science oriented on grasping human knowledge, including the young school apprentices. Moreover, at least in the formative process of human, scientists can build a science, which is not addressed to other scholars. The area of education was mainly theorized by philosophers, doctors, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and,among them, teachers have diminished their ambitions, not having a scientific tradition observant enough. The lack of clear prospects and of edifent successes and failure, the incapacity of pedagogical theories to energize and vitalize the educational beliefs and passions have created a distrust of any credible [1] doctrine's opportunity to resolve the detail and depth of the paideutic process. When, finally, the pedagogy has defined its scope of knowledge as opposed to the other human sciences, teachers have begun to usurp their own theoretical system and conceptual arsenal. Accepting various borrowed views, they ignore a crucial fact:an analysis (or experimental explanation) of the educational process requires an abstraction, ie a doctrinal conceptualization. They left this to the psychologists and sociologists who have rebuilt the representation space and educational paradigms and models. Therefore, in the "elite teachers,we can find names like JJ Rousseau (writer), J. Piaget (physiologist and psychologist), E. Durkheim (sociology), E. Kay, J. Dewey (psychologists), E. Meumann ( psychologist), M. Montes (doctor), H. Maslow, D. Goleman, H. Gardner (psychologists), or our Vaschide N., V. Ghidionescu, D. Tudoran, E. Noveanu, V. Pavelcu, N. Margineanu, Ion-Dobridor Negret, Radu Ion, Ion Al. Dumitru, E. Bonchiş (psychologists).
