Doctoral Dissertation

Available from: ProQuest - Dissertations and Theses

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this dissertation will be to survey and analyze American writings on Maria Montessori and her educational system, in order to show how the idea of Montessori education has interacted with some changing American ideas and social forces. These changes in social and intellectual currents can be likened to a shift from centrifugal to centripetal force; or to the expansion and then the contraction of a universe. The central metaphor is the same. It is applicable to, and illustrative of, much about the changing social and educational scene in America. The writings on Montessori, examined against this framework, should provide a new view on certain changes in American educational thinking.

Abstract/Notes: Mrs. O. M. Stevenson, formerly of San Bernardino, is taking an active part in the work of the Parent-Teachers association in her present home in San Diego. Mrs. Stevenson recently presided at a meeting of the Good Government club held in the sun parlor of the St. James hotel when the Montessori system of education of young children was discussed. Mrs. Prudence Stokes Brown of Pasadena, who is versed in the methods of the system, addressed the club. Many people who attended the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco had the pleasure of seeing the Montessori system demonstrated and heard the gifted Italian woman herself in lectures and various meetings held in the educational building.

Abstract/Notes: One of the questions AMI asked itself a few years ago was 'how can we reach scientists, researchers and universities throughout the world to establish Montessori scientific pedagogy as an integral of education departments? How can we be heard louder in the field of education?' The start of the answer has come with the establishment of the AMI Global Research Committee. Here Steve Hughes explains the committee's spheres of activity.
