Il pensiero pedagogico italiano nei manuali polacchi di storia dell’educazione
Italian education and pedagogical thought in Polish textbooks on history of education

Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the popularization of the Italian pedagogical thought in Polish text-books about the history of education in general. It has shown that the authors of the textbooks gave a lot of information about the Italian school system and education and presented profiles of outstanding Italian educationalists, e.g. St John Bosco or Maria Montessori. This paper indicates that in the past centuries Poles were open to Italian intellectual currents, academic trips to the Italian Peninsula, and education at local uni-versities. Polish textbooks about the history of education were popular (in the 20th c.) and still are an important source of knowledge about the history of Italian education. For the purposes of this paper, the contents of the most representative and popular textbooks have been analysed.
