Authors

Keywords:

Greece, history of education, material culture.

Abstract

In Greece the orientation towards Western European models not only of the educational system, but of the Greek state as a whole, is very strong. The imitation of European paradigms, didn’t take place due to their efficiency, but rather due to the absence in the Greek state of an existing traditional and autonomous educational theory and practice. In this framework the material culture of education in Greece remains an unexplored field in the historical studies of education, with a handful of exceptions. But these efforts were not embedded in a systematic approach in the historical studies of education. Nevertheless material culture of education in Greece has played a crucial role in the development of school curricula. A paradigm of material culture of education offers the hermeneutic of unpublished archival material, partly with photos, partly with information on school buildings and pupils in the island of Chios.

Key words: Greece, history of education, material culture.
