Social pedagogy constitutes a part of general pedagogy, so, in order to understand what this particular branch of pedagogy is, one ought first of all to clarify the meaning of the notion “pedagogy”. The concept has two basic meanings: “theoretical” one and “practical” one. In the “theoretical” sense, it means the theory of upbringing and thus the science of education, whose purpose is understanding the process of upbringing as well as the factors which influence that process. In the “practical” sense, what we understand by “pedagogy” is to sum total of all the educative activities employed for the purpose of steering the process of education in the desired direction. Speak- ing about pedagogical activities, we do not, of course, deal with activities from the field of education theory, as that would be contradiction in terms, but with the body of practical skills employed in everyday work by practical pedagogues.
