The relevance of the study lies in the fact that it gives a general view of the problem of pedagogical relation as a key concept in pedagogy and an aspect of pedagogical activity and its role in the redemption of juvenile offenders in the works of A.S. Makarenko and H. Nohl. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of scientific knowledge in the field of studying the phenomenon of pedagogical relation as a fundamental concept of pedagogy and an aspect of pedagogical activity and its role in the upbringing and redemption of juvenile offenders in the concepts of A.S. Makarenko and H. Nohl. The present study is based on the provisions formulated in the works of the leading Russian historians of pedagogy, devoted to the characterization of methodology and theory of historical and pedagogical knowledge, as well as the interpretation of the pedagogical heritage of great educators by domestic and Western pedagogues. The essence of pedagogical relation and psychological and pedagogical conditions for its formation are revealed. The influence of the environment (political-economic, socio-cultural conditions, pedagogical ideas) on the formation and functioning of education and redemption of street children in the practical and theoretical works of A.S. Makarenko and H. Nohl is also noted. Both general similarities in the disclosure of pedagogical relation of the two teachers and differences in their views are highlighted and argued. The specific aspects of collective education of juvenile offenders are substantiated and the strategies of interaction between educator and pupils are considered. The theoretical significance of the results of the study lies in the generalization of ideas and concepts formulated in the works of the classics of domestic and foreign pedagogy of the XX century, which allow us to improve the conceptual foundations of educating children and adolescents. The theoretical provisions formulated in the study supplement and clarify the essence of pedagogical relation as a key concept in pedagogy, contribute to a fuller understanding of the problem of education and rehabilitation of young people in modern conditions. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the views and ideas of A.S. Makarenko and H. Nohl in the field of pedagogy can be used to improve the modern educational system and can be used in the educational process in various disciplines: social pedagogy, history of pedagogy, psychology, anthropology. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it provides a holistic view of the problem of pedagogical relation as a fundamental concept of pedagogy. An attempt to apply the approach to the study of pedagogical relation in the context of education and redemption of young pupils in the concept of A.S. Makarenko and H. Nohl has been made. The comparative analysis of theoretical tenets of the outstanding teachers of the last century on the key issues of upbringing is carried out for the first time.
