Abstract/Notes: The long history of Montessori education in India dates to 1915, and it was expanded through Maria and Mario Montessori's work in India between 1939 to 1946 and 1947 to 1949. The article characterizes a century of Montessori education in India as a series of adapted, competing, and contested framings with key disputes over Montessori education's intended purpose, audience, and how much it could be adapted. First, from 1915 to 1939, Montessori education was connected to the Indian independence movement as nation-building education, but it was eclipsed by a parallel rise of elite, private Montessori schools, a framing reinforced by Maria Montessori's insistence on fidelity to her method. Starting in the 1950s, other Indian educators adapted Montessori for poor children, an emphasis that continues today with government and foundation-funded schools. Finally, in the last thirty years, India's new middle class has driven demand for early childhood education, leading to branded Montessori franchises, some bearing little resemblance to Montessori's original pedagogy.

Abstract/Notes: El artículo tiene como propósito analizar históricamente la producción de un saber escolar que permitió la educación de los párvulos y la formación de la maestra-jardinera al interior del Colegio María Auxiliadora de Medellín, a partir de la apropiación de Pestalozzi, Fröebel y Montessori. Metodológicamente se empleó el enfoque histórico de la práctica pedagógica y como método algunas herramientas arqueogenealógicas. El contenido del texto se desarrolla en tres momentos: el primero analiza la emergencia de la maestrajardinera, el segundo da cuenta de la institucionalización de la enseñanza infantil como el primer nivel de instrucción y un tercer momento reescribe los discursos y prácticas para llevar a cabo la educación infantil y la formación de la maestrajardinera. Se presentan como resultados las tensiones de saberpoder que acontecieron en el marco de la pedagogía católica, los saberes para educar a los párvulos y la configuración de la cátedra de pedagogía infantil para la formación de la maestra-jardinera. Como conclusiones se exponen algunos usos de la experiencia educativa del kindergarten salesiano en el presente, recurriendo a la noción de memoria activa del saber pedagógico que permita, hacia futuro, llevar a cabo la reconceptualización de la educación inicial. [This paper analyzes the historical production of a kind of school knowledge that enabled the education of preschoolers and the formation of the preschool or nursery school teacher at Colegio María Auxiliadora of Medellin, by means of the appropriation of Pestalozzi, Fröebel and Montessori methods. Methodologically, this pedagogical practice was studied from a historical approach; additionally, some archeogenealogical tools were used. The contents of the text are developed in three moments: the first analyzes the emergence of the nursery school teacher, the second examines the institutionalization of early childhood teaching as the first instructional level, and a third moment rewrites the discourses and practices of early childhood education and preschool teacher training. The findings include the power-knowledge tensions that occurred in the context of catholic pedagogy, a characterization of the knowledge considered necessary for the education of preschoolers, and the configuration of the Early Childhood Pedagogy Program for the training of preschool teachers. In conclusion, some uses of the educational experience of the present Salesian kindergarten are related, recurring to the notion of active memory of pedagogical knowledge, that will allow the future reconceptualization of early education.]
