Abstract/Notes: La méthode de Maria Montessori est née en pleine expansion du mouvement de l’Éducation nouvelle. Bien qu’on la considère généralement comme l’une des figures-clé de ce courant pédagogique, elle s’en considère plutôt la précurseure. Certes Montessori utilise constamment la dialectique de l’éducation « ancienne » et « nouvelle » dans ses écrits et elle a des points communs avec ce mouvement, expliquant ainsi des épisodes ponctuels de collaboration avec les entités qui le représentent ; mais elle s’éloigne aussi à maintes reprises des positions mises de l’avant par les pédagogues qui en font partie. Pour saisir la relation entre notre auteure et ce mouvement, on doit prendre en compte ses origines et ses fondements. À maintes reprises, Montessori contestera radicalement des principes de Rousseau et tente, en vain, de faire valoir sa vision, à travers ses collaborations avec les organismes représentant le mouvement de l’Éducation nouvelle. Évidemment l’opposition frontale d’une femme au héros incontesté du mouvement qu’elle critiquait ne pouvait qu’exaspérer ses contemporains. Qu’une simple « praticienne » de l’éducation s’érige en rivale de Rousseau était d’une arrogance impardonnable, puisqu’elle se positionnait ainsi en rapport de supériorité vis-à-vis tous les disciples du maître. C’était d’autant plus difficile à accepter qu’elle ne semblait pas prête à faire quelque concession que ce soit, résistant à se faire assimiler au mouvement et préférant avoir ses propres revues, ses propres congrès et sa propre association. La façon de concevoir les notions de liberté, discipline, effort, fantaisie et imagination, ainsi que l’approche de l’enseignement religieux et de la lecture et écriture, furent notamment au centre des divergences entre la pédagogie montessorienne et le mouvement de l’Éducation nouvelle. Bien que ces divergences mettent en évidence la différence entre l’héritage philosophique de chacun de ces courants, une recherche plus approfondie s’impose sur chacun de ces sujets.

Abstract/Notes: An essential resource for all students and scholars of early childhood education, this book offers a rich array of material about Maria Montessori and the Montessori Method. Distinguished education scholar Gerald Gutek begins with an in-depth biography of Montessori, exploring how a determined young woman overcame the obstacles that blocked her educational and career opportunities in Italy during the late Victorian age. The author then analyzes the sources and influences that shaped the Montessori philosophy of education. After laying the foundation for Montessori's development, Gutek presents an annotated and abridged edition of The Montessori Method (1912), the seminal work that introduced her educational innovations to a U.S. audience. The book concludes with key historical documents, including disciple Anne E. George's notes on the Montessori lectures and William H. Kilpatrick's critique of the Montessori method. Preserving the historical context of Montessori's contribution, Gutek also shows the continuing relevance of her thought to educational reform in the twenty-first century.
