Abstract
as a practice, pedagogy describes the relational values, the personal engagement, the pedagogical climate, the total life worlds and especially the normativity of life with children at school, at home, and in the community. As an academic discipline, pedagogy problematises the conditions of appropriateness of educational practices and aims to provide a knowledge base for professionals who must deal with childhood difficulties, traumas and problems of childrearing. Central to the idea of pedagogy is the normativity of distinguishing between what is appropriate and what is less appropriate for children and what are appropriate ways of teaching and giving assistance to children and young people.
