Abstract/Notes: This paper aims to inquire about the pedagogy of María Montessori in Argentina from the point of view of the history of education. In order to achieve this goal, the historical sources analyzed were two of the most critical journals in the first half of the 20th century: El Monitor de la Educación Común and La Obra. The first was the official review of the National Education Council, which oversaw Argentinian primary education as a government organ. The second was driven by a group of teachers and was formerly known as the official representation of the New School in Argentina. This investigation looks for marks and hints on the reception among Argentinean teachers of this pedagogy, internationalized since the second decade of the 20th century, over these two journals. As the main contribution, we learn about different ways of appropriation of Montessori’s pedagogy as well as the critics of her proposal and its usage to discuss positions of power in the local pedagogy field.

Abstract/Notes: While Argentine Montessori schools date back to 1915, for much of the twentieth century, although Montessori’s ideas were influential in Argentinian educational, intellectual and political circles, her method was adapted and incorporated into early childhood education program and rarely implemented in full. Inhibiting factors include lack of access to Montessori training and the method’s separation from Argentina’s high-quality, state-regulated education and teacher training system, which was established in the second half of the nineteenth century. In the last fifteen years, a Montessori resurgence is bringing Montessori to Argentine children with an estimated 40 Montessori private and public schools and social programs. In particular, Argentina’s Red Montessori Solidario network of 23 programs provides an important model for developing and expanding Montessori programs in low-income communities.
