Abstract/Notes: Avec plus ou moins de prégnance, la pédagogie Montessori reste à la mode depuis plus d'un siècle. Entre les avis très laudatifs et les critiques les plus acerbes, que savons-nous de celle qui a inventé une méthode pédagogique, basée sur une expérience unique, la Casa dei Bambini, et qui a traversé le temps avec aussi peu de modifications ? Ce texte vise à éclairer les dimensions idéologique, épistémologique et spirituelle sur lesquelles s’appuient la doctrine et la méthode. En évitant les controverses stériles, nous montrerons en quoi, si la méthode présente un intérêt indéniable, certains points nécessitent une clarification. [With varying degrees of significance, Montessori pedagogy remained trendy for more than a century. Between the very laudatory opinions and the sharpest critics, what do we know about the one who invented a pedagogical method based on a unique experience, the Casa dei Bambini, who has transcended time with few changes? This text aims to enlighten the ideological, epistemological and spiritual dimensions on which the doctrine and the method are based. By avoiding sterile controversies, we will show how, if the method is of undeniable interest, certain points require clarification.]

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori lectured in Italian during the first International Montessori Course in 1939 at Madras, India. These 75 lectures were translated into English by her son Mario, as she spoke. And were taken down near verbatim in short hand, transcribed and set into galleys overnight. One such set of proofs forms the original manuscript for this book. For the most part, each chapter in this book encompasses a single lecture. The lectures are left in the same order as they were given, swinging between psychology and the use of the materials. India’s diversity of language, social custom and religious practice enriched her research. During this time, Dr. Montessori worked with children in Madras and put into practice her theories of adapting the environment, furniture and the Practical Life materials to local conditions. In these lectures, Maria Montessori speaks with the mature wisdom of a lifetime spent studying, not just early childhood, but human development as a whole and gives a complete, wonderful and colorful overview of her pedagogy and philosophy.

Abstract/Notes: Formerly entitled The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in the Children's Houses. This book was first published in 1909 under the title 'Il Metodo della Pedagogia Scientifica Applicato all'Educazione Infantile nelle Case dei Bambini' ('The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in the Children's Houses) and was revised in 1913, 1926, and 1935. Maria Montessori revised and reissued this book in 1948 and renamed it 'La Scoperta del Bambino'. This edition is based on the 6th Italian edition of 'La Scoperta del Bambino' published by the Italian publisher Garzanti, Milan, Italy in 1962. M. J. Costelloe, S. J. translated this Italian version into the English language in 1967 for Fides Publishers, Inc. In 2016 Fred Kelpin edited this version and added many footnotes. He incorporated new illustrations based on AMI-blueprints of the materials currently in use.

Abstract/Notes: Are there developmental pathways for learning that provide continuity from early learning through adulthood with measurable intervals for assessment and with transitions for learning that are understandable, stable, identifiable, communicable, flexible, and affordable to implement? If so, what are the foundations for learning that enable students to logically progress from more basic events to more complex constructs? This question is of particular importance to developmental science. Cognition is the term used for integrating life experiences into conscious meaningful events. The model for Cognitive Dimensions explored here shows promise as one approach to this problem, using data from narrative analysis and STEAM exercises as the basis for study.

Abstract/Notes: This report presents results from an experimental comparison of four prekindergarten programs and a 3-year follow-up through second grade. The major purposes of the study were: (a) to obtain information on program dimensions; and (b) to assess program effects on the cognitive, motivational, and perceptual development of 4-year-olds. Fourteen classes were conducted in Head Start throughout 1968-1969-two in Montessori; four each in Traditional, an enrichment program; Bereiter-Engelmann, an academic drill approach; and Darcee, which combined an emphasis on aptitudes and attitudes. Children were randomly assigned within schools to experimental or nonexperimental classes. They were assessed after 8 weeks and after 6 months of school. A control group was also tested-a non-preschool group similar to the experimental sample. Monitoring of treatments was done live and also from videotapes. In the kindergarten year, one class from each program entered a token-economy Follow-Through program. The remainder entered Regular kindergarten. Video-tape monitoring was also done in kindergarten and first-grade classes. Results-program dimensions: the prekindergarten programs did differ, and most of the differences were in predicted directions. Programs were similar to or different from each other depending upon which treatment dimensions were used. Four distinct programs existed only on the more molecular techniques (e. g., modeling or role playing). On some molar dimensions there were only two treatments; on others one program stood apart from the other three. All programs were low on some dimensions, and on others no distinction could be made. Program effects: the prekindergarten programs did have different effects on children, both in terms of immediate impact and over a 4-year period regardless of what programs they had later. The immediate effects on cognitive variables were predictably greater for more didactic programs. Stable effects over 4 years, however, were in noncognitive areas. There were no stable main effects from later programs, but differential effects on both cognitive and noncognitive measures resulted from various combinations of prekindergarten and kindergarten programs.

Abstract/Notes: This article concerns three fundamental dimensions of all educational methods: technical, epistemological, and cultural. We perceive them as equally important in the process of (re)creating and using any educational method. It seems to us that the technical dimension is quite often the only one or at least the most essential one in the area of Polish educational practices, and sometimes also in the theory of education. This situation is, however, undesirable since it may lead to the decontextualisation of the methods, and – as a consequence – limit their educational potential. Referring to the Montessori approach and more specifi cally to one of the most signifi cant concepts within the method – namely to the idea of „prepared environment” in which three aspects can be distinguished: material, structural – dynamic, and personal, we describe the roles that they play in the procedures of constructing teaching methods showing their integral character.
