- Aim: to present the American concept of the development of pedagogy as a scientific discipline, with particular emphasis on the postulates and arguments of those whose operation and activities shaped the direction of the discussed processes. Methods: a content analysis presenting the visions and directions of the development of pedagogy as an academic discipline proposed by the creators of the scientific foundations of pedagogy. Results: the reconstruction of the perception of pedagogy as a field of scientific research and the postulated priorities, with particular emphasis on the cultural and social context for the undertaken research, which not only became its background, but largely determined its direction and course. Conclusions: In the United States, pedagogy as a field of scientific research was perceived mainly as a basis for searching for specific solutions aimed at improving the quality and effectiveness of the American education system, hence the need for education reforms in line with the trends typical of that period was prioritized. In this spirit, the quantitative research ordered and commissioned by the local and federal educational administration was conducted on the basis of questionnaires and tests with the aim to collect as much information and data as possible. The perspective of supporters of an interdisciplinary approach to pedagogical research, such as John Dewey, focused not so much on the measurable improvement of the quality of education, but above all on what the improvement of the education system is to serve in the individual and social perspective: on developing individuals and building a harmoniously functioning society. Among the researchers representing the faculties of education at American universities, quantitative research was becoming increasingly more popular and gained more supporters, which in turn, led to their gradual isolation, not only in the community of scientists representing social sciences, but also in relations with those who were to apply their scientific achievements in their daily work, i.e. teachers and education administration.
