AB The article reconstructs the development of a scientific sub-discipline of general pedagogy in the Czech interwar pedagogical discussion. The so called controversy over the concept of pedagogy - the issue of the concept of pedagogy as natural science, empirical, quantitative or normative science is analyzed here. The positivist tradition is reflected more deeply in the Czech pedagogical discussion, which stands in contrast to the German pedagogical tradition in the Czech lands of the monarchy and the interwar Czechoslovakia. The study defines a different view of the establishment of general pedagogy and pedagogy as a science by F. Krejčí, O. Kádner, O. Chlup, V. Příhoda and J. Hendrich.
