This work is part of the history of pedagogical disciplines, in this case refers to the background of the General Didactics in Spain, in whose origin we find a set of manuals that take title of Pedagogical Didactics and published in the first two decades of the 20th century. So is an analysis of these manuals in terms of their internal organisation and value presenting in the contents of each party, who come to be general methodology, special methodology and school organization. Made comparison results leads to the conclusion that the Pedagogical Didactis embodies the search for greater autonomy of the methodological part or didactic in pedagogy; and where the general methodology, which has a lack of development, will be the germ of General Didactics, focusing its basic contents around the method, procedures, and forms of teaching.
