Summary/Abstract: The methodology of pedagogy is one of four constituent elements of pedagogy as a science, thus it is understandable why its development depends on general tendencies in pedagogy. Although the development of the methodology of pedagogy started quite late, until today it has developed enough to allow the use of completely determined techniques in research of its field. The development of the methodology of pedagogy, and pedagogy in general, in our country was under the strong influence of European and global pedagogy during the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. After World War II, Serbian pedagogy was influenced by Soviet pedagogy and more intensive development of the methodology of pedagogy began later. The study is oriented towards analysis of the historical development of Serbian methodology of pedagogy from the end of the 19th century until the present day. The tasks in the study are: 1) analyze the development of the methodology of pedagogy in the 19th and early 20th century; 2)analyze the development of the methodology of pedagogy since World War II (1944/45 to 1991/92) 3) analyze the state of the methodology of pedagogy in the last decade of the 20th century; 4) analyze the state of the methodology of pedagogy at the beginnning of the 21st century. The historical method,an elementary method of hisorical research, and the analysis of pedagogical documents are used in the study. The study discusses prominent names which have marked the historical development of Serbian methodology of pedagogy, events significant for the further development of Serbian methodology of pedagogy, and textbooks, monographs and journals in that field which have contributed to the constitution of the science of education.
