Social pedagogy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social pedagogy is a branch of upbringing, education and interventions of a welfare state that is meant to increase personal responsibility and self-dependent handling of common circumstances of life. Further goals are the reduction of discriminations and the promotion of social skills required for the participation in societal life and the public sphere. The term "social pedagogy" has been first used in 1844 in an article by Karl Mager in "Pädagogische Revue".
