Abstract/Notes: Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przypomnienie głównych założeń, jakie sformułowała Maria Montessori na temat rozwoju dziecka i organizacji procesu edukacyjnego, jako punktów krytycznych w rozważaniach nad koncepcją kształcenia w zakresie poznawania środowiska społeczno-przyrodniczego. W pedagogice Montessori wskazana koncepcja przybiera postać tzw. Kosmicznej Edukacji. Kosmiczna Edukacja jest unikatowym podejściem w pracy z dziećmi w wieku od 6 do 12 lat. W artykule wyjaśniono ideę Edukacji Kosmicznej, wskazano związek między potrzebami dziecka a programem poznawania środowiska społeczno-przyrodniczego. Opisano istotę Wielkich i Kluczowych Lekcji, jako ośrodków dziecięcych badań i dociekań. Zaprezentowano także rekomendowany przez Montessori sposób poznawania przez dzieci fundamentalnych potrzeba człowieka, będący inspiracją dla praktyki szkolnej. Podstawą do zebrania materiału empirycznego była analiza treści, przeprowadzona w celu scharakteryzowania aktualnych osiągnięć w ramach wybranego tematu.

Abstract/Notes: The paper presents the idea of human development according to the Maria Montessori theory of education. Firstly, the sensitive periods in the child’s development, responsible for the extreme absorption of specific competences, were identified and shortly described. Then attention was paid to the Montessori System of Relation consisting of the brain, senses and muscles that underlies the person’s philosophy of action. The following sections show the main elements of Montessori Cosmic Education and the role of the human being in the universe. The importance of social, religious and ecological education in the plan of cosmic development of the person has been presented in the main part of the paper. The conclusion shows the Montessori’s belief that a man has a special cosmic task consisting in transforming and improving the world and discovering one’s place in it. The task of a new human being is to shape future generations not only externally but also in terms of spiritual development. / W artykule została zaprezentowana koncepcja rozwoju człowieka w teorii edukacji według Marii Montessori. Wyszczególniono wrażliwe fazy rozwoju odpowiedzialne za ekstremalną chłonność w uczeniu się i nabywaniu konkretnych kompetencji. Zwrócono uwagę na system relacji składający się z mózgu, zmysłów i mięśni oraz na filozofię działania. W dalszej części ukazano główne elementy wychowania kosmicznego oraz rolę człowieka we wszechświecie. Przedstawione zostało znaczenie edukacji społecznej, religijnej i ekologicznej w kosmicznym planie rozwoju osoby. We wnioskach podkreślone zostało przekonanie Montessori, że człowiek posiada specjalną misję w kosmicznym planie stworzenia, a jest nią przekształcanie i ulepszanie świata oraz odkrywanie swojego miejsca w nim. Zadaniem nowego człowieka ma być kształtowanie przyszłego pokolenia nie tylko zewnętrznie, ale również po względem rozwoju duchowego.

The 'Cosmic' Task of the Youngest Children – Direct, Anticipate or Respect? Experiences Working with Small Children

Abstract/Notes: The article derived from Grazia Honegger Fresco’s years in close cooperation with Maria Montessori and Adele Costa Gnocchi. The author illustrates how small children from the moment they start using their hands and are standing unassisted on their own legs must act in their own way. The teacher must observe before acting and intervene as little as possible. Honegger Fresco follows the work of Montessori and Costa Gnocchi and she compares the findings with different fields of science, such as ethnology and neurology. As a result of her observations and experiences she points toward the relationship between a good childhood, and in the long term, human responsibility on Earth, using the concept “the Cosmic Task”. The method in this article is based on autoethnography, as the author shares her personal experience and reflections, both as a teacher and as an educator. The aim is to shed light on aspects regarding the needs of small children and to point at the essential role of adults, educators as well as parents. As Schiedi explains, autoethnography “extends its narrative horizon to a social, professional, organizational dimension of the self” (2016). During Honegger Fresco’s career, she was primarily inspired by Maria Montessori’s research about child development and children’s needs and rights, and she had continuously deepened her understanding by studying other researchers in this field. Thus, the article will share her conviction that by serving the creative spirit of the youngest children we will build a better future for our planet.

Abstract/Notes: È nostro interesse comprendere i margini di innovatività che, pur a distanza di anni, ancora risiedono nella valorizzazione montessoriana del potenziale creativo dell’infanzia. Tali margini potrebbero infatti orientare l’eticità della società e della cultura del futuro e salvare l’umanità (la sapiente gestione della relazione uomo-mondo) grazie all’intervento del bambino, “padre dell’uomo”. La consapevolezza di questo compito etico rinvia a una educazione cosmica in grado di offrire al bambino una visione unitaria della complessità del suo stesso essere, in cui si interconnettono e intrecciano mano e pensiero, mente e cuore, persistenza e divenire, intelligenza e creatività. Uno degli obiettivi più urgenti per la ricostruzione della società è pertanto la ricostruzione dell’educazione a partire dagli ambienti di vita entro cui praticarla. / It is our interest to understand the margins of innovation that reside in the enhancement of the creative potential of childhood by Montessori Method. These margins may to guide ethical principles of the society and culture of the future and save humanity (the wise management of the man-world) for intervention of the child, “father of man”. The awareness of this ethical task leads to a cosmic education that can offer the child a unified view of the complexity of his own being, which are interconnected and intertwined hands and thought, mind and heart, static and persistence, intelligence and creativity. One of the most urgent for the reconstruction of society is reconstruction of education in the environments in which children lives.
