Abstract
The purpose of this article is to reconstruct the process of eliminating pedology in the Soviet Union, which followed the Resolution of July 4, 1936, “On pedological distortions in the System of the People’s Commissariats for Enlightenment”. After an introduction that analyzes the different trends of the pedological movement that spread in Russia from the end of the nineteenth century, the first part presents the text of the Resolution of July 4, 1936, while the second part focuses on the process of dismantling pedology at the scientific, central and local levels, and on the network of pedologists. The third part presents an index of textbooks by pedologists and on pedology, and the fourth part provides short biographies of these pedologists and specialists.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
