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: The history of education is mainly a history of male educators and their ideas and systems of education, whereas the history of early childhood education is to a large extent a field of history where women have been the actors and to some extent also the writers about early childhood education. But this history is coloured by the withdrawn and to a large degree subordinate status of women, which is also reflected in the way history is written: A history of invisibility and anonymity, which also may have affected the place early childhood education has had in general educational history...

Abstract/Notes: Early childhood education in North America is currently in a state of flux. While Piagetian approaches to early childhood education curricula seem to predominate in North America today, some of the influences of the other paradigms discussed below are still in evidence. The idea of nurturing children as well as educating them has endured, even with the new cognitive focus. The concept of curricula appropriate to a child’s developmental level, first introduced by Froebel, has remained an important idea. The Montessori method has enjoyed a renaissance in North America, and specially designed curricula for the disabled has been re-established as the norm, after Itard’s and Seguin’s pioneering examples. Yet, new issues in early childhood education have arisen in North America. There is a great debate on the effects of day care, the changing family, the possibility of “hurried children”, and the role of state support in a “universal” child care system. The recent Report of the task force on child care in Canada reviewed many of these issues, and used data on child care arrangements in a number of European countries compared to canada and the United States in much of its discussion. It is not surprising, given the history of models of child care which have come from Europe to North America, that North Americans are once again looking across the Atlantic for fresh ideas.
