Abstract
The constant presence of the theatre in the school can be seen from the beginning, in the same huge pedagogical building of Humanism. Then the foundations were laid of a strong, even though controversial, combination which would have had many and exemplary achievements, such as - for example - in the new French educational theatre of the last forty-year of XVIII century. The history of the school theatre must still be studied in depth, with regards to three research directions: the institutional role played in the educational and learning processes; the practices and their evolution; and finally, the performed texts. In this connection it's offered a first critical analysis of the dramatic texts of Jan Amos Komensky, recovering a crucial step, until now neglected both by historiography about this author and the history of the theatre for school. Komensky's dramatic writings, as well as his theoretic reflection on the theatre's pedagogical value, demonstrate how he - after gathering the humanistic heritage and the Jesuits suggestions - was experimenting a method and a model which already showed, in nuce, the essential demands of modern pedagogy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
