The paper examines the influence of modernization and ideology on the transformation of educational science in former Yugoslavia, spanning the periods of 1918-1941 and 1945-1991. It addresses the impact of social and academic legitimacy in educational science amid significant political and socio-economic changes. Key findings reveal that the "nationalization of pedagogical knowledge" was employed throughout these periods to establish legitimacy for educational theories and practices, although this strategy fell short in achieving institutionalization comparable to Western and Eastern European standards.
