Public History of Education intertwines history and memory, representing a research approach that brings the history of education out of the academia and opens it up to the public. The public involved is not only a spectator, but also a co-author in the construction process of history, within a perspective of shared authority. This gives rise to participatory paths involving different audiences, each with their own potential and characteristics. Tools and places through which sharing processes can be initiated and history can be brought “into the square” are fundamental: among these, the museum emerges as a privileged place where history comes to life. This research focuses on the Museum of Education in Padua as a key site for developing Public History of Education initiatives. The project presented, in fact, proposes two illustrative Public History of Education programs, one designed for adults and one for children, to be carried out using materials preserved in the museum. At the centre of these programs there is school: a place made of rooms, objects and teaching materials, but also memories, emotions and meanings. The history of schooling is thus reconstructed through the active involvement of people, creating a continuous link between past and present.
La Public History of Education intreccia la storia e la memoria, rappresentando un approccio di ricerca che porta la storia dell’educazione fuori dall’accademia, per aprirsi al pubblico. Il pubblico coinvolto non è solo spettatore, ma anche co-autore del processo di costruzione della storia, in una prospettiva di autorità condivisa. Nascono così percorsi di partecipazione che vedono coinvolti diversi pubblici, con potenzialità e caratteristiche differenti. Fondamentali sono gli strumenti e i luoghi attraverso i quali è possibile avviare processi di condivisione e portare la storia “in piazza”: tra questi, il museo si profila quale luogo privilegiato in cui la storia si manifesta. Il lavoro di ricerca vede quindi come protagonista il Museo dell’Educazione di Padova, quale luogo dove poter avviare percorsi di Public History of Education. Il lavoro presentato, infatti, propone due percorsi esemplificativi di Public History of Education, uno per adulti e uno per bambini, da realizzare a partire dai materiali presenti al museo. Al centro dei percorsi vi è la scuola, luogo fatto di spazi, oggetti, materiali didattici, ma anche ricordi, emozioni e significati. La storia legata alla scuola viene così ricostruita grazie al coinvolgimento delle persone, in un collegamento costante tra passato e presente.

Abstract
Public History of Education intertwines history and memory, representing a research approach that brings the history of education out of the academia and opens it up to the public. The public involved is not only a spectator, but also a co-author in the construction process of history, within a perspective of shared authority. This gives rise to participatory paths involving different audiences, each with their own potential and characteristics. Tools and places through which sharing processes can be initiated and history can be brought “into the square” are fundamental: among these, the museum emerges as a privileged place where history comes to life. This research focuses on the Museum of Education in Padua as a key site for developing Public History of Education initiatives. The project presented, in fact, proposes two illustrative Public History of Education programs, one designed for adults and one for children, to be carried out using materials preserved in the museum. At the centre of these programs there is school: a place made of rooms, objects and teaching materials, but also memories, emotions and meanings. The history of schooling is thus reconstructed through the active involvement of people, creating a continuous link between past and present.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
