Abstract/Notes: "New York, Apr 19 - La Dottoressa Maria Montessori e giunta off a bordo del piroscafo "Duca degli Abruzzi". La illustre pedagogista rimarra in America quattro mesi. Ella e accompagnata dal cugino Mario Montessori. Quanto prima partira per la California, ove e state chiamata da quel Consiglio dell'Istruzione a tenere un corso di pedagogia e didattica per le maestre delle scuole elementari. La Dottoressa Montessori e stata l'iniziatrice di un nuovo metodo pedagogico, il quale si differenzia dai metodi comunemente seguiti nelle scuole, perché lascia un'assoluta liberta all'iniziativa individuale del fanciullo, cercando coltivare questa senza forzare o mutarne, o comprimerne il libero sviluppo il fanciullo apprende non per la imposizione dell'insegnante, ma perché vuole apprendere, perché l'insegnamento e parte del gioco, della sua libera e spontanea attività. Scuole che seguono il metodo Montessori vi sono in Italia e in altri paesi dell'Europe. Da poco tempo ne sono sorte in America ed hanno avuto ed hanno grandi risultati pratici.

Abstract/Notes: This article examines the role played by the conferences of the New Education Fellowship (NEF) in the emerging disciplinary field of the sciences of education between the two world wars. As Fuchs points out in an article in the present issue, the field of education at this time was being internationalized, and, being an international movement, the field impacted on by the NEF was international in scope.1 As will be seen, the ideas and practices of the new education were mediated by national cultural differences and thus their impact on the disciplinary field varied from nation to nation.2 In addition, the development of the field in terms of journals, conferences and its institutionalization within nations was uneven, which presents further difficulties when trying to evaluate the impact of the NEF's conferences. Much of the following discussion focuses on their impact on the disciplinary field in England though, as will be seen, not exclusively so. One of the distinguishing features of the NEF other than its international scope was that it was a movement that connected lay enthusiasts for the educational reforms associated with the new education with major figures in the developing disciplines of psychology and education, such as Carl Gustav Jung, Jean Piaget and John Dewey. The relation between these lay and professional constituencies is examined and conclusions drawn regarding the professionalizing process in the field and the impact of the conferences on educational research and its institutionalization.
