Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori graduated in medicine from the University of Rome and subsequently took part in the research activities of Roman medical anthropology scholars, some of whom were leading exponents in Italian science and culture. Giuseppe Sergi was a major figure in the national public debate regarding some of the main concerns in Italian society, focusing on the causes and consequences of poverty and illiteracy, and the need for a more effective education system. The ideas of Sergi and other scholars (C. Bonfigli, S. De Sanctis, N. D'Alfonso) regarding these problems influenced Maria Montessori. Indeed, she was inspired and encouraged by Sergi himself to direct her activities and research to the field of childcare and education. Medical anthropology was therefore an essential element in the formation of the young Montessori, and the genesis of her pedagogy and method. Teaching at the Institute of Education for Women in Rome represented an opportunity to develop a relevant “pedagogical anthropology” for her scientific evolution, even though Maria Montessori herself would later leave it behind. / Maria Montessori es va llicenciar en medicina a la Universitat de Roma i posteriorment va participar en la investigació amb erudits romans d’antropologia mèdica, alguns dels quals eren els principals exponents del món científic i cultural italià. Giuseppe Sergi, en particular, va estar molt present en el debat públic nacional sobre alguns dels principals problemes de la societat italiana: les causes i les conseqüències de la pobresa i l'analfabetisme i la necessitat d'un sistema educatiu més eficaç. Les idees de Sergi i altres científics (C. Bonfigli, S. De Sanctis, N. D'Alfonso) sobre aquests problemes van influir en Maria Montessori. La jove doctora va ser inspirada i animada pel mateix Sergi a dirigir les seves activitats i investigacions en el camp de la cura i l’educació infantil. L’antropologia mèdica va ser, per tant, un element essencial en la formació de la jove Montessori i també en la gènesi de la seva pedagogia, així com del mètode. L'ensenyament a l’Institut femení del Magisteri de Roma va ser una oportunitat per desenvolupar una "antropologia pedagògica" rellevant per al seu creixement científic, fins al punt que la mateixa Maria Montessori la va superar i abandonar durant el procés de maduració del seu pensament. / María Montessori se graduó en medicina por la Universidad de Roma y posteriormente participó en la investigación con eruditos romanos de antropología médica, algunos de los cuales fueron exponentes distinguidos del mundo científico y cultural italiano.

Abstract/Notes: This article aims to contribute to scholarship on the internationalisation of the Montessori Method. Training courses were central to Maria Montessori’s international impact. Two case studies of training offered by Montessori in collaboration with Catholic women religious are used to demonstrate a Catholic internationalisation of her Method. The first considers that with the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, in Rome between 1910 and 1914. The second, that with the Religious of the Assumption, in London from 1921 until Montessori’s death in 1952. More specifically, the article shows the significance of their classes as demonstration classes for Montessori’s international training courses. Participants of many nationalities and beliefs observed them, facilitating the initial and continued global implementation of the Method. The convent Superiors also achieved their own objectives. / Cet article a pour objectif de contribuer à la recherche sur le thème de l'internationalisation de la méthode Montessori. Les sessions de formation étaient au cœur de l’impact international de Maria Montessori. Deux études de cas d’une formation délivrée par Montessori, en collaboration avec des religieuses, montrent l’internationalisation dans les milieux catholiques de sa méthode. Le premier cas traite de la formation des Missionnaires Franciscaines de Marie à Rome entre 1910 et 1914. La deuxième explore celle des Religieuses de l'Assomption à Londres de 1921 jusqu'à la mort de Montessori en 1952. L'article montre la signification de ces cours comme modèle pour les formations internationales Montessori. Des participants de nationalités et croyances diverses les ont observés, facilitant la mise en œuvre globale initiale et continue de la Méthode. Les supérieures du couvent ont également atteint leurs propres objectifs.
