Offer Description This research programme, part of the broader project
"School Culture" promoted by the Centre for Teacher
Education at the University of Pavia, draws on the
publication 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 this
end, previous Curricula and Guidelines will be analysed and
field interviews will be conducted, with the aim of:
a) representing and studying the perceptions held by
different 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.
The selections are open to candidates, Italian or foreigner, in possession, on the date of the deadline for submitting applications for the admission to the selection, of a master's degree or single-cycle, degree obtained no more than six years previously are eligible to participate in the selection process. These degrees must be relevant to the subject of the research activity.
