Abstract/Notes: In questo contributo vengono presentati gli aspetti caratterizzanti il profilo dell’insegnante montessoriana così come viene definita dalla stessa Maria Montessori in alcuni suoi scritti e comein relazione a esso vada costruita la sua formazione. La maestra montessoriana insegna poco, osserva moltoe soprattutto ha la funzione di organizzare un ambiente idoneo adirigerele attività psichiche dei bambini Essa deve avvicinarsi a essi con umiltà e pazienza, consapevoleche sono loro i protagonisti della loro crescita. Questo atteggiamento si forma non tanto con il possesso diuna cultura pedagogica teorica quanto con l’esperienza dell’osservazione e la supervisione di maestre esperte che aiutano la futura insegnante a sostenere un lungo processo di riflessione interiore e di elevazione spirituale. / En este artículo se presentan los aspectos que caracterizan el perfil del docente, tal y como lo define María Montessori en algunos de sus escritos, y como en relación con el perfil se debe construir su formación. María Montessori afirma que el maestro enseña poco, observa mucho y tiene principalmente la función de organizar un entorno educativo adecuado para desarrollar las actividades psíquicas de los niños. Debe acercarse a ellos con humildad y paciencia, sabiendo que son los protagonistas de su crecimiento. Esta actitud no se forma tanto con la posesión de una teoría de la cultura educativa, sino con la observación y supervisión de maestros expertos que ayudan al futuro maestro a sostener un largo proceso de reflexión interior y elevación espiritual. / In this paper the aspects characterizing Montessori teacher’s profile are presented as they are defined in the Maria Montessori’s writings and how it is built their formation in connection to it. The Montessori teacher teaches little and observes much; she has to arrange a suitable environment to direct the activities of the children, she must approach them with humility and patience, aware that they are the protagonists of their own growth. This attitude derives not so much from a theoretical education culture, but from observation and supervision as well as from the expert teachers who help the future teacher to support a long process of inner reflection and spiritual elevation.

Help to life, education from birth: A reflection on early childhood starting from Maria Montessori / Ayuda a la vida, educación desde el nacimiento: Una reflexión sobre la primera infancia a partir de Maria Montessori
Abstract/Notes: The study aims to investigate a topic less debated in Montessori studies, which is the theme of childbirth, essential for the application of the Montessori’s method in all age groups and also to children aged from zero to three years old. For this reason Maria Montessori’s little known writings are deliberately considered. These writings are very significant for the reconstruction of her educational thinking which has always seen the childbirth as the starting point for a reflection of the newborn education and a transformation of humanity considering a review of its educational processes. This reflection is indispensable today in the absence of specific training courses to “welcome the secret of the child who comes into the world” which were the educational courses for birth attendants starting from the end of the 1940s. Tracing the history of these Montessori educational courses and of the great personalities who have designed them, can be used to rethink Montessori differentiating instruction courses in order to acquire skills related also to welcome the newborn. This means adding in these educational courses specific learning modules about “education from birth” according to a definition beloved by Montessori. / En este artículo se investiga un tema poco abordado en los estudios Montessori, el tema del nacimiento, que resulta fundamental en términos de aplicación del método Montessori en todos los grupos de edad y por lo tanto también en el de los niños de edades comprendidas entre los cero y los tres años de edad. Por esta razón se consideran deliberadamente textos menos conocidos de María Montessori, pero muy significativos para la reconstrucción de su pensamiento pedagógico, que siempre ha entendido el nacimiento como el punto de partida para la reflexión de la nueva pedagogía y la transformación de la humanidad considerando una revisión de su proceso educativo. Esta reflexión es indispensable hoy en día, en ausencia de una formación específica para “recibir el secreto del niño que viene al mundo”, que formaba parte, a partir de finales de los años cuarenta, de los cursos de formación de las matronas. Trazar la historia de estos cursos de formación Montessori y de las grandes personalidades que los diseñaron puede servir para repensar estos cursos dirigidos a adquirir habilidades relacionadas con dar la bienvenida al recién nacido. Esto significa añadir en estos cursos de formación módulos específicos sobre "la educación desde el nacimiento”, de acuerdo con la definición dada por Montessori.

La polarización de la atención y las armas de distracción masiva / Polarization of attention and mass arms of distraction
Abstract/Notes: María Montessori empezó a descubrir la infancia a partir de la capacidad que el niño pequeño tiene de polarizar su atención. En la base de la capacidad de atención están los poderes de la mente absorbente que hoy los estudios de la neurociencia han descubierto con indiscutibles pruebas empíricas. Su pedagogía puede definirse como pedagogía de la atención: atención hacia el niño, atención hacia los detalles, atención hacia la atención del niño. Los estudios sobre la capacidad de atención y sobre la relación entre la atención y la memoria confirman que es necesario proporcionar a los niños la posibilidad de concentrarse durante largo tiempo en una actividad (trabajo) con materiales adecuados y sin interrumpirlos jamás. Actualmente existen múltiples y variadas tecnologías de la información que fragmentan y fomentan una tendencia a la atención superficial en los niños y en los jóvenes. Por esto, la propuesta educativa y didáctica montessoriana resulta más actual hoy que al inicio del pasado siglo. [Montessori began her discovery of childhood starting from the polarization of attention in young children. Behind attention are the powers of the absorbent mind that neuroscience today is discovering with irrefutable empirical evidence. It is the pedagogy of attention: attention to the child, attention to the details, focus on the attention of the child. Studies on attention and the relationship between attention and memory have confirmed that it is necessary to give children the opportunity to focus on a specific activity for a long time using suitable materials, without interruptions. Today, there are many technologies that break up the attention of children and young people. This is why Montessori education and teaching is more relevant today than at the beginning of the last century.]

La formazione Montessori Nazionale ed Internazionale a Perugia / La formación nacional e internacional Montessori en Perugia / National and International Montessori Training in Perugia
Abstract/Notes: En el movimiento Montessori hay un área específica en el niño y la primera infancia, que en sus orígenes y en su investigación es poco conocido incluso en el interior. La más pequeña, la palabra-no (los bebés, de hecho) están en todas partes infravalorados. Es difícil de morir el prejuicio de que son poco más que un tracto digestivo o una fuente de incomodidad, de caprichos incomprensibles y exige que los padres modernos son cada vez menos dispuestos a cumplir. Montessori lugar ya a principios del siglo XX se ha puesto de manifiesto la riqueza de los recién nacidos, y el extraordinario potencial de auto-propietaria, la recepción sensorial aguda, no postergar la necesidad de estabilidad, continuidad en los informes y los ritmos diarios: ternura y calma, calidez y capacidad de agarrar, señalando con respecto a sus reacciones, necesidades que a menudo, aunque similar a otros compañeros, se revela como absolutamente personal.

I materiali sensoriali Montessori oltre le aule scolastiche / Los materiales sensoriales Montessori más allá del aula / Montessori sensorial materials beyond classrooms
Abstract/Notes: Quest’articolo descrive due esperienze molto diverse effettuate in Italia. La prima riguarda l’introduzione di un laboratorio basato sull’uso dei materiali sensoriali Montessori all’Università dell’Immagine di Milano, fondata dal fotografo Fabrizio Ferri, che offriva a creativi di varia provenienza professionale e geografica una formazione post-secondaria biennale, organizzata incinque laboratori, ciascuno dedicato a uno dei cinque sensi, condotto da un docente responsabile. Quello da me condotto aveva il titolo: “Angolo del ristoro sensoriale” ed era trasversale agli altri cinque. La seconda riguarda invece l’utilizzazione di incastri solidi, torre rosa e scala marrone, nel percorso rieducativo di una ragazza di vent’anni, affetta da grave ritardo mentale con tratti autistici. In entrambi i casi i risultati sono stati molto positivi. Nel primo, la percezione sensoriale degli studenti dell’Università dell’Immagine, si è raffinata e perfezionata.Nel secondo, il caso di ritardo mentale con tratti autistici, ha suscitato nella ragazza un interesse che si è esteso all’ambiente esterno e alle persone che interagivano con lei. Ha inoltre migliorato la manualità fine, rendendo più efficaci le indicazioni per svolgere correttamente le mansioni della vita quotidiana nella propria casa, in cui in precedenza aveva scarsissima autonomia. Con lei il percorso Montessori è iniziato in uno studio di musicoterapia e ha interagito con quelle sedute, per proseguire poi a casa sua, con varie attività di vita pratica, volte a migliorare il coordinamento del corpo nello spazio, il coordinamento oculomanuale, i movimenti raffinati delle dita e la discriminazione visiva. Queste attività hanno fatto progredire molto la sua autonomia. / En este trabajo se describen dos experiencias llevadas a cabo en Italia: la introducción de un laboratorio para el uso de los materiales sensoriales Montessori en la Universidad de la Imagen de Milán (UI) que ofrecía a los “creativos” de diversas procedencias profesionales y geográficas la formación postsecundaria según un programa experimental de dos años, organizado en cinco laboratorios, cada uno dedicado a uno de los cinco sentidos. El que yo dirigí se titulaba “Rincón de descanso sensorial” y fue trasversal a los otros cinco. Se denominaba: “Rincón de descanso sensorial” y fue transversal a los otros cinco. El segundo se refiere al uso de encajes sólidos, torre rosa y escalera marrón, en la rehabilitación de una chica de veintiún años, que sufría un retraso mental severo con rasgos autistas. En ambos casos los resultados fueron muy positivos: las percepciones sensoriales de los estudiantes de la UI se han afinado y perfeccionado; la introducción de los materiales en la rehabilitación sensorial de la chica ha despertado un interés que se ha extendido al entorno externo y a las personas que interactuaban con ella. También ha mejorado los movimientos finos de los dedos, lo cual le facilita llevar a cabo las tareas de la vida cotidiana, en la que antes tenían muy poca autonomía. Con ella el proceso Montessori comenzó en un estudio de musicoterapia, para seguir a continuación en su casa, con varias actividades de la vida práctica, para mejorar la coordinación del cuerpo en el espacio, la coordinación óculo-manual, la motricidad de los dedos y la discriminación visual. Estas actividades han mejorado su autonomía. / This paper deals with two different experiences carried out in Italy. The first concerns a Sensorial Materials workshop, which I directed in Milano at the University of Image (UI) founded by photographer Fabrizio Ferri. UI offered a post-secondary education to creative professionals, from various backgrounds and geographical areas, according to a two-year experimental program, organized in five workshops, each of them dedicated to one of the five senses and directed by a professional of the field. My workshop title was: “The corner of sensory relief” and interacted with the other five. The second relates to the use of solid insets, pink tower and brown stairs for the rehabilitation of a twenty-one years-old girl, who suffered from severe mental retardation with some autistic features. In both cases the results were very positive. In the first one, the sensory perceptions of UI students have been refined and perfected; in the second, the girl affected by mental retardation showed a great interest in the above-quoted materials. The girl has spread her interest to external environment and to the people who interacted with her. The fine movements of her fingers were also enhanced, allowing her to perform various tasks in her daily life, which previously she was unable to carry out. Her Montessori rehabilitation began during some music therapy sessions. Then it was carried out at home, where various Practical life activities were introduced. Thanks to them she improved her body coordination in space, her eye-hand coordination and visual discrimination. These activities strengthen considerably her autonomy

Abstract/Notes: The purpose is to compare the Kindergarten music textbooks with those of the first grade of elementary school and analyze them, to examine whether the correspond to children's developmental characteristics whether the music education of Kindergarten and the first grade have a connection each other. The subject of this study are as follow: 1. What are the objects of music education in Kindergarten and the first grade? 2. How are the contents of music education in Kindergarten and the first grade? 3. Do the songs mentioned in the music textbook of Kindergarten and the first grade coincide with children's musical charateristics? The method of this study: Comparing the objects and contents of the collection of guiding child education materials' with those of the pleasant lives' guide book for teacher, I analyze the songs gathered in each book through the aspect of contents, composition, length, rhythm and voice-ranges. The result of this study are as follows: 1. The music education of the first grade presents the goal which 'the musicality of children is enlightened, through desirable musical experiences and the harmonious emotion and creativity.' On the contrary, the goal of music is not presented in Kinergarten education. 2. The spheres of music education contents in the first grade are divided into three, as like the basic capability, the expression capability, and the appreciation, 3. The songs of the first, grade are estimated that they are selected to correspond to children's musical characteristics, on the other hand, those of Kindergarten have many problems in the aspect of composition, length, rhythm and voiceranges. The conclusions derived from the results. The music education of Kindergarten should be carried out coinciding with children's growth, connecting with that of elementary school.
