<b>The relationship between the psychology and education: crafts interconnected

Keywords: psychology, education, pedagogical practices.

Abstract

The classic thesis that Psychology and Education have a very recent history doesn’t seem to have any consensus among epistemology researchers. When the relationship between Psychology and Education is assessed, one realizes that only recently these fields of knowledge have become interconnected as disciplines. Current analysis demonstrates how psychology and education, formerly relatively independent sciences, became interdependent disciplines and professions with wide acknowledgment and social application. Current debate is divided into three sections: the initial discussion between Education and Psychology in their search for laws of human development; the historical and contextual constitution of this knowledge; and the transition from school Psychology towards a broader view between Psychology and Education. It should be underscored that the source of such a close relationship between these sciences does not exclusively respond to a human and more or less universal and synchronic requirement. Paradoxically, conditions of historical development of human sociability and of modern economy and culture, especially in Western capitalist societies, formed and established the interconnection.
