The section of Padua of the Italian Pedagogical Association (Associazione Pedagogica Italiana) in the late 20th Century

The distinctive feature of the As.Pe.I, founded in Florence in 1950, is to bring together school teachers of all levels and university professors in order to improve and renovate school and any other educational institution, as well as to enhance studies and researches in the field of Pedagogy and education. A significant amount of documentation relating to the activity of Padua’s section is currently preserved at the Museum of Education (University of Padua). It is possible to consult teachers’ meeting minutes, programs for refresher courses, lists of members, notes, lessons plans, collections of photographs, administrative documents, correspondence with the other sections, and so on. All these relevant documents, not yet studied, could made possible the reenactment of a very interesting experience of teachers’ association during the second half of the twentieth century
