Sumario:This paper reviews and analyses the last thirty years in terms of the annual production of PhD theses in the field of Pedagogy, wich are included in the Spanish database TESEO. Using deterministic models and ARIMA methodology, this study aims to define patterns of growth, verify data fit to scientometric standards and undertake prospective analysis in order to determine the trends that steer research into Pedagogy. Furthermore, qualitative considerations are provided, based on the status and production of PhD theses in Spain, wich might help to understand and improve this area of university education, at light of its integration onto the European Space for Higher Education.
