2026-IdrDip-06-stum - The teaching of Greek language and culture in Italian schools over recent decades: curricula, National Guidelines, teaching practices.
This research programme, part of the broader project“School Culture” promoted by the Centre for TeacherEducation at the University of Pavia, draws on thepublication of the draft of the new NationalCurriculum Guidelines for upper-secondary schools and the intense debate that followed. It aims to contextualise Italian education policies regarding the teaching of Greek language and culture from the post-war period to the present day within the broader context of the cultural and symbolic meanings attributed to Greek ‘classicism’ at different times in contemporary European history. To thisend, previous Curricula and Guidelines will be analysed andfield interviews will be conducted, with the aim of:a) representing and studying the perceptions held bydifferent generations of teachers regarding the meaning of the subject itself and the Italian National Guidelines;b) comparing experiences of teaching methods in different school settings.
