One of the most important periods for individuals' education and moral development is childhood and early childhood. Our children, who will become important members of society in the future, need to undergo pedagogical education, and their families should be made aware of this issue. This period, which will affect both individuals and society, must be well planned. During these developmental stages, it is essential to provide pedagogical education that not only promotes cognitive development but also utilizes the concept of sports pedagogy to support individuals' physical and mental growth processes. Through sports pedagogy, individuals' psychomotor development capacities will be healthier, leading to the upbringing of mentally and physically developed individuals.

In this study, document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to obtain data. Document analysis is a qualitative research method used to meticulously and systematically examine, evaluate, and analyze all materials, both in print and electronic forms (Wach, 2013).

This book chapter focuses on the historical development process of pedagogy and sports pedagogy, aiming to emphasize its social importance descriptively.
