Pedeutology (Ancient Greek: paideutes – teacher + logos - word, science) is a discipline of pedagogy,[1] which focuses on the main role of the teacher in the educational process. It delves into the pedagogical, philosophical, psychological, and ethical aspects of teaching, as well as the practical skills and knowledge essential for teachers to be effective. Although pedeutology has strong roots and active development in European countries, its core concepts and concerns are addressed in various forms and terms worldwide. An important role in the establishment of this discipline was played by Johann Friedrich Herbart - a German philosopher, psychologist and educator, creator of "scientific pedagogy" and a pedagogical seminar in the University of Königsberg.[2] Other contributors to this field are, Georg Kerschensteiner, Eduard Spranger, etc.
