Didattica e coscienza magistrale nella stampa scolastica italiana. Due giornali educativi nella Basilicata di fine Ottocento

Following the growing historiographical attention paid to the Italian educational press, the article intends to give light on some publications specialized in the training of southern primary school teachers: «Il Maestro elementare» and «L’Educatore Lucano», circulating in Basilicata region at the end of the nineteenth century. Despite the short life of these educational journals, it is of significant interest both to retrace the editorial events and to examine the issues addressed in favor of southern Italy teachers: on debates of the school policy, contemporary pedagogical addresses and specific issues in the didactic field.
