The following article investigates pedagogy in its scientific dimension, establishing a dialectical relationship between the methodological and ethical aspects of the formative process. It examines the evolution of empirical approaches and the epistemological foundation of the "educational phenomenon." The focus shifts to the implications for experimental pedagogy within the context of "Society 5.0," a paradigm rooted in the convergence of technological innovation, social equity, and integral ecology. Faced with educational research increasingly shaped by digital transformation, the analysis underscores the urgency of rigorously integrating methodological rigor with axiological sensitivity, promoting educational models attuned to human multidimensionality. The theoretical proposal outlines a pedagogy that transcends the mere application of didactic protocols, asserting itself as reflective knowledge capable of critically interpreting contemporary socio-educational dynamics without reducing the complexity of formative action.
