Name source:
From the origin, pedagogy in English-speaking countries, pedagogy in French-speaking countries and pedagogy in German-speaking countries all come from the word "pedagogy" in Greece, which means the method of caring for, managing and educating children. At the end of 19, people in English-speaking countries use "education" and "pedagogy" successively. In China, "pedagogy" is a translated name, which should have been translated from Japanese in the early 20th century.
The Greek word "teacher" means the way to take care of, manage and educate children. It took about 200 years before and after the symbol of educational independence appeared. Therefore, the independence of pedagogy is a historical process, not completed in an instant.
