Koprska fizika 19. stoletja

Abstract

The development of the physics teaching in Capodistran secondary school between Giuseppe Tartini and late 19th century brought those day experimental tools and books closer to our knowledge with a testimony of the high level education of those days. We had to concentrate on Vlacovich's accomplishment as he was the most important Capodistran professor of 19th century. He stood on the shoulders of his predecessors when he published his works in most important journals of his era. Our research also had something to say about his work in Trieste. The instruments bought for cabinet in Capodistrian Grammar School were certainly on European level during the second half of 19th. Therefore we compared them with similar equipment used in Grammar Schools of Klagenfurt, Novo Mesto, and Ljubljana. In this kind of research we had a lucky hand because we were able to double-check all data with yearly Grammar School Programs and yearly inventories. We mostly used the inventories of Ljubljana and Capodistrian Grammar School which makes this work one of the first of its kind founded on reliable sources. The Programs also contained the data of the cabinets' incomes. Those days school directors also liked to provide the listings of professors. They sometimes also noted their textbooks or rough sketch of teaching plans. We examined the old books from the times of Padres Scholarum Piarum which are still kept in the library of Italian Grammar School Gian Rinaldo Carli. Their bulk testimonies about the interests of those days professors and their students because so far ago the acquisition of the instruments was far from standardized and the professors personally decided what they need for education and also for research, which is not the case of modern Secondary Schools with no research involved. The Padres Scholarum Piarum with their pedagogical dedication were deeply involved in the Coastland everyday life after they somewhat became the competitors of the Jesuit order and even their replacement after the suppression of the Jesuits in 1773. On this occasion we provide one of the very first serious analyzes of the Padres Scholarum Piarum accomplishment also in comparison with their contemporary Jesuits' competitors
