Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori identified work with children and youth as a support for the human development process, which mean constant growth and becoming. The educational embodiment of respecting the dignity of a person – in light of the Italian researcher – is the child’s right to freedom of choice in a prepared school environment. Events and circumstances that a person meets in his/her life (including school), shape his/her dispositions and attributes. The education, which encourages the development, creates opportunities for undertaking various tasks, including developmental ones, which are manifested by specific personality traits. In the conducted research, characteristics of the author’s personality of the Montessori class graduates became the subject of analyses. / Maria Montessori utożsamiała pracę z dziećmi i młodzieżą jako wspomaganie procesu rozwoju człowieka, który polega na stałym wzroście i stawaniu się. Edukacyjnym ucieleśnieniem poszanowania godności osoby w ujęciu włoskiej badaczki jest przyznanie dzieciom prawa wolności wyboru w odpowiednio zaprojektowanym środowisku szkolnym. Zdarzenia i okoliczności, które osoba napotyka w życiu (w tym w szkole), kształtują jej dyspozycje i atrybuty. Sprzyjające rozwojowi kształcenie tworzy okazje do podejmowania różnorodnych zadań, w tym rozwojowych, czego przejawem są określone właściwości osobowości. W przeprowadzonych badaniach przedmiotem analiz stały się właściwości osobowości autorskiej absolwentów klas Montessori.

Abstract/Notes: In this article I make an attempt of brief ethnographic description of one of Montessori schools in Bavaria (Germany) – Private Montessori School in Wertingen. The article is based upon the research that was conducted in the school in May 2011. The analysis (as well as the experience of being in that school) led to the conclusion that this school is, in a way, similar to the reality that Caroll’s Alice experienced in Wonderland – especially from polish perspective. This new environment is entirely different from the one with which we deal with in Poland – that is to say in conservative, behaviouristically driven teaching culture.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori is a learning method that uses the surrounding environment as a learning resource. This research is aimed at describing how the Montessori method is applied to Mathematics for students who survive Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS). The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were PDD-NOS grade V SD students in inclusive schools. The research instruments were documentation, observation, and interviews. The results showed that students with PDD-NOS who have delays in communication can more easily accept mathematics learning using the Montessori method. This is supported by the Montessori concept which allows PDD-NOS students to use lego in learning fractions.

Abstract/Notes: This article seeks to re-introduce Dr. Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy, which has been absent from modern philosophy of education literature. It describes and analyzes crucial aspects of her epistemology, as best known through her Method. Discussed are the need for early education, the development of the senses, and the exercise of choice by the students. Concept formation is also shown to be an important part of Montessori’s philosophy of instruction. This article concludes with a brief resolution of the “is–ought” objection as framed by Scheffler that might be waged against Montessori’s approach.
