Social Pedagogy and Social Education are situated in a joining point of educational and social aspects, and, only from this perspective, their beginnings and historical development can be understood. In their configuration, the practical requirements always have pointed the way of theoretical reflection, which has set the Social Pedagogy identity as a scientific discipline and the Social Education as a practice intervention space. Social Education is not only defined by the functions that traditionally have been of its competences, even also by those which are circumstantially attributed to it, in response to the derivated changing reality necessities. Evenly, the Social Education fundamentation and legitimation exist in different lawful texts, with international but also national character, where the philosophy of social policy is collected in every country. Therefore, there is no complete accord in the way of understanding Social Education, but different conceptions exist according to spaces and moments. All of this has made that, throughout the time, a conceptual evolution has not been produced, but different interpretations of it.
