Abstract/Notes: The educational philosophies of Maria Montessori and Jiddu Krishnamurti are compared and contrasted in this paper. The discussion is based on texts by both educators and direct observation of some of the schools (United States, Australia and India) where these ideas are being implemented. First, general principles of each educator are discussed. Both are said to have condemned traditional approaches to education and to have objected to the record of state involvement in education. The next three sections describe their ideas regarding: (1) how children learn and the role children should take in their own education; (2) the attributes, characteristics, and training of teachers, and the teacher-child relationship; and (3) the proper education environment, with focus on discipline, competition, evaluation, and the use of methods. In conclusion, it is said that Montessori's and Krishnamurti's philosophies have more similarities than differences. Children love being at both kinds of school. Their schools have successfully deinstitutionalized the learning process and made the teacher-pupil relationship a caring and loving one. The major difference between the two types of education is the approach to method: Krishnamurti scorns adopting a particular method while Montessori tried to design a method that was based on her observation of the "natural" child.

Abstract/Notes: Some even came from Bengal province, a 3-day train journey! I was staying in the home of a dedicated Montessori teacher trainer, Uma Shankar, in cozy, warm family surroundings. Or while in Ahmedabad, I was able to arrange a meeting with Leenaben Sarabhai, an aunt of a friend and a Montessori pioneer in Gujarat (see page 46). In addition to their words, my interview subjects also shared with me original handwritten manuals and materials, photographs, Maria's drawings and outlines of Elementary curriculum and materials, and her correspondence with various people, including Gandhi, Tagore, Krishnamurti, Joosten, and the Arundales. The Arundales promptly extended an invitation, and Mario and Maria Montessori arrived in India in 1939 to conduct the first training course on the Asian continent. [...]began Montessori's extended stay in India. Some of the original lecture notes from teacher training that Maria Montessori gave in Ahmedabad, as well as Montessori's letters, original transcripts, and hand-drawn illustrations and materials, are preserved in a museum at the Shreyas School in Ahmedabad.
