María de Maeztu’s contributions to the beginnings of Social Pedagogy in Spain
Abstract
María de Maeztu will always be remembered for being the head of the “Residencia de Señoritas”, but her place in the History of Education is not limited to this relevant activity. This paper pretends to highlight her main contributions to the introduction and dissemination of Social Pedagogy in Spain, taking as critical period of study the interval before, during and after her stay in Germany (1912-1913) where she was in contact, among others, with Professor Paul Natorp. Previously, special attention will be given to the reasons that could have influenced her decision to go to the University of Marburg. In this sense, it will be inevitable to speak about José Ortega y Gasset and Ramiro de Maeztu. This study will give us a general overview of the role that María de Maeztu played in the beginnings of Social Pedagogy in our country until 1915, when she was chosen as head of the already mentioned girls’ residence.
