Pedagogical professions. Normative references, identities, and differences.

Abstract

The article aims to examine the figures of Socio-pedagogical Educator and Pedagogist, firstly consid-ering the normative references that legitimize and govern these professions. This paper focuses on the specificity of the individual figures, outlining their identities and differences in operational environment and identifying their theoretical foundations. This is because of the science to which both professions refer: General Pedagogy. Finally, the Clinical Pedagogist is presented as an additional professional figure studying cases of de-formation, dis-education and de-instruction of human being.
