Course contents

Why and when was school born? Who invented the classroom, the desk, and the textbook? Why are there posters hanging on the wall?

Who was and is the teacher today? How has the teaching profession been historically constructed?

We aim to promote knowledge of the genesis and development of the school as a complex institution consisting of spaces, time, teaching tools, material culture, subjects, teachers, in order to offer elements for a historical-critical reflection that will make teachers more aware of the transformations that have occurred and that have defined the profile of the current Italian school.

The essential coordinates of the evolution of the Italian school system from the Unification of Italy to the present day will be indicated in its legislative, institutional, cultural and pedagogical-didactic aspects, with attention to curricula, teaching subjects, textbooks and school materiality.

A common thread will be the historical-critical analysis of the evolution of teaching professionalism, including women (initial and in-progress training, identity and social mobility, associationism and political participation).

Specific bibliographical recommendations will be given on the Virtual.

As a general framework, we recommend, but not compulsory, the volume by S. Santamaita, Storia della scuola. Dalla scuola al sistema formativo, introd. by R. Laporta, Milan-Turin, Pearson, 2021.
