Abstract/Notes: L’article retrace l’itinéraire de la philanthrope américaine Mary Cromwell et sa participation dès le début du XXe siècle à la promotion de la méthode Montessori en France, à des moments charnières qui favorisèrent l’éclosion de réformes éducatives empreintes de progressisme dans le contexte de la Première Guerre mondiale. Loin de l’image des jardins d’enfants montessoriens accueillant les enfants des familles aisées qui fleurissent dans l’entre-deux-guerres, les classes Montessori qu’elle met en place dans les œuvres de guerre au profit de petits réfugiés révèlent une dimension curative de la pédagogie Montessori. Forte de cette expérience, Mary Cromwell tentera d’implanter la pédagogie Montessori dans les classes maternelles de l’Institution publique de l’après-guerre. / This article traces the path of the American philanthropist Mary Cromwell and her participation in the promotion of the Montessori method in France from the beginning of the twentieth century, at pivotal moments that fostered the emergence of progressive educational reforms in the context of the First World War. Far from the image of the Montessori kindergartens for children from wealthy families that flourished between the two wars, the Montessori classes that she set up in war charities for the benefit of child refugees revealed a curative dimension of Montessori pedagogy. Based on this experience, Mary Cromwell then attempted to implement Montessori pedagogy in the kindergarten classes of the post-war public institutions.

Abstract/Notes: La presente investigación de tipo mixto tuvo como objetivo determinar la actitud de las maestras de pre-primaria y primaria baja de un colegio privado con sedes en zona 15 de la ciudad de Guatemala y Carretera a El Salvador sobre la metodología Montessori. La población estuvo conformada por 30 maestras encargadas de grado, 4 guías Montessori y un experto en metodología Montessori. Se utilizó muestreo no probabilístico. Para este estudio se utilizaron tres instrumentos, en la parte cuantitativa se trabajó con un cuestionario anónimo para disponer de confiabilidad por parte de los sujetos y en la parte cualitativa se utilizaron dos entrevistas diferentes. Como segundo instrumento, la entrevista la contestaron cuatro guías Montessori y un tercer instrumento, una entrevista dirigida a un experto en metodología Montessori, enriqueciendo de esta forma los datos recabados con el cuestionario. Se concluyó que las maestras de preprimaria y primaria baja de ambas sedes manifiestan una actitud altamente positiva hacia la metodología Montessori. Una de las recomendaciones más importantes es que se sugiere a la institución educativa con el fin de mantener la actitud altamente positiva de las guías Montessori realizar capacitaciones continuas y que de esta forma puedan tener siempre presentes las bases de la metodología, de tal manera que las maestras apliquen el método convencidas de la efectividad del mismo.

Abstract/Notes: In June 1990, the state of Kentucky passed its innovative Education Reform Act, which totally restructured the finance, governance, and curriculum of its public schools. One of the major provisions of the act was the mandate for Kentucky's primary schools to change from the traditional placement of children of the same age in kindergarten, first, second, and third grades to the placement of youngsters in multi-age, multi-ability classrooms. The resulting primary program recognizes that children grow and develop as a "whole," not one dimension at a time or at the same rate in each dimension. The instructional practices of the primary program address social, emotional, physical, aesthetic, and cognitive needs. The program flows naturally from preschool programs and exhibits developmentally appropriate practices. The philosophy of the primary program stresses a classroom climate that is non-competitive and encourages children to learn from one another as well as from the teachers. The

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori’s works discussed in this chapter are, Education for a New World (1946), To Educate the Human Potential (1948), and The Formation of Man (1955). Like many of her texts, these publications are based on transcriptions of lectures held in various settings including teacher training courses. These three books were written during and after the tragic disruptions caused by WWII and were published first in India. They are among Montessori's last texts in which she highlights cosmic education and expresses her conviction of the need for a global reconstruction that must necessarily begin with childhood.
