scholarly journals Public History of Education: riflessioni, testimonianze, esperienze

This volume represents the founding act of a proposal for training, didactic, study and research work which aims at enhancing historical knowledge in the field of education and educational professionalism. The contributions intend to highlight the identity and usefulness of history and, in particular, of the history of education, not only for every education level, but for the life of local communities itself. At the same time, the authors aim at suggesting a desirable development of the history of education by adopting a Public History approach. This way, academic knowledge can actually be brought into contact with educational contexts, much more so than it has been done so far, in order to respond, together with other disciplines, to the emerging social needs. The Public History of Education, intended this way, can create new profitable relationships between formal and informal education, between the past and present of educators and teachers, between the world of research, cultural institutes (above all, museums) and society.

This essay attempts to counter the scarcity of efforts to address issues of natural resource extraction and environmental exploitation in public history forums. Focused on western Pennsylvania, it argues that the history of industrial development and its deleterious environmental impacts demands a regional vision that not only frames these stories within the ideological and economic context of the past, but also challenges residents and visitors to consider this history in light of the related environmental concerns of our own time. The essay explores some of the difficult issues faced by public historians and practitioners as they seek to produce public environmental histories that do not elude opportunities to link past and present in meaningful ways.

This article focuses mainly on the Portuguese legal framework, which somehow also results from the significant changes and recommendations of the various (international) guidelines on Special Education and the Inclusion. It also intends to carry out a review of the literature on the historical and conceptual evolution of the Special Education and all the corresponding concepts and themes. The combination of these two approaches clearly contribute, in our view, for a consolidation and coordination between the historical knowledge and the conceptual knowledge, together with the legal framework inherent in the practice and intervention in different contexts in which Special Education is of particular focus and interest. The present research is a qualitative research using the method of documentary research based on the conceptual and methodological framework of Gil (2010) and Bardin (1979) which aims to present some facts that we consider relevant to the history of Education Special, sensitizing the readers to the inescapable need of their social and civic participation, in order to ground a collective voice that wants to be strong and mobilizing in a central theme for the life of all. As a result of the present investigation, the latent need to carry out a significant reformulation and normative updating is evident in the light of the civilizational and conceptual advances that come from the specific needs and particularities of inclusion and special education in particular.

This issue of Public History Review discusses aspects of the distinctive role of public historians that goes beyond an approach simply aimed at bringing in people to exhibitions or making historical knowledge ‘accessible’. As James Gardner argued in the last issue of Public History Review, ‘We are often our own worst enemy, failing to share what we do. If we want the public to value what we do, we need to share the process of history’. Opening up the premises underpinning different forms of historical representation can assist in widening the historical process and facilitate a way of understanding and making meaning.

This article analyzes the transformation in the scholarship of legal ethics that has occurred in Canada over the last decade, and maps out an agenda for future research. The author attributes the recent growth of Canadian legal ethics as an academic discipline to a number of interacting factors: a response to external pressures, initiatives within the legal profession, changes in Canadian legal education, and the emergence of a new cadre of legal ethics scholars. This article chronicles the public history of legal ethics in Canada over the last decade and analyzes the first and second wave of scholarship in the area. It integrates these developments within broader changes in legal education that set the stage for the continued expansion of Canadian legal ethics in the twenty-first century.

The study is aimed at determining the factors of motivation for research activities among schoolchildren of the Republic of Buryatia and the TransbaikalTerritory. The employed sociological approach in the study made it possible to analyze the cognitive and social needs of schoolchildren in research activity, to assess the influence and role of social factors (conditions of social life of students) in the formation and content of motives for research activities of schoolchildren, and also to distinguish schoolchildren’s expectations and opportunities needed to implement research activities. When organizing research work with students, developing a scientific infrastructure in education, the issues of student motivation acquire particular relevance. Taking into account the high level of the influence of a scientist’s image on the choice of student science-oriented specialization, strengthening the positive image of a scientist in society becomes an urgent task. Since teachers are the key figures in attracting schoolchildren to research, it is necessary to give priority attention to the methodical and methodological training of teachers in the field of research activities, along with providing scientific infrastructure for schoolchildren. The experience of implementation of scientific and educational projects “Scientific Accelerator” in Buryatia and the Science Festival “NAUKA 0+” in the TransbaikalTerritory showed that the competencies and methodological approaches in the field of research activities that students master within the framework of projects cannot always be developed inthe further educational process. At the same time, an important factor in motivating students is meeting with scientists who act as carriers of advanced academic knowledge and also form a positive image of the profession among students. The results of the study can be applied in the development of standards and rules for the implementation of educational activities.
