Abstract/Notes: The essay highlights the role of “La Montesca” circle and its main protagonist, Baroness Alice Hallgarten Franchetti (1874-1911), in triggering the initial internationalisation of Montessori pedagogy. Exploring the cultural connections gathered around the Umbrian circle—a true meeting point for refined souls suggesting an atmosphere of spiritual retreat—it is possible to discern a prophetic mark establishing the immediate confidence shown in Montessori’s challenge to education, devoted to driving wide-ranging spiritual reform. The “Franciscan flame” underlining Alice Hallgarten Franchetti’s approach within an extensive devotion to the ideals of human elevation and universal brotherhood reflects the pursuit of a spiritual light, around which modernist, neo-Christian, theosophical feelings interwove motivating drives and cultural languages. In this sense, the formidable support initially provided by Alice Hallgarten Franchetti in exporting Montessori’s pedagogy should be read and valued as the sign of a larger belief in human elevation, based on a confidence in the secret treasures of the child and embracing a cosmic sense of spirituality. / L’article destaca el paper del cercle “La Montesca” i de la principal protagonista, la baronessa Alice Hallgarten Franchetti (1874-1911), en l’inici de la primera internacionalització de la pedagogia Montessori. Explorant les connexions culturals establertes al voltant d’aquell cercle d’Umbria, una autèntica cruïlla d’ànimes refinades que suggereix una atmosfera de retir espiritual, és possible descobrir una empremta profètica que imprimeix la confiança immediata mostrada amb el repte de Montessori en l’educació, dedicat a impulsar una àmplia reforma espiritual. La “flama franciscana” que anima la conducta d’Alice Hallgarten Franchetti, en el marc d’un extens horitzó de devoció als ideals de l’elevació humana i la fraternitat universal, reflecteix la recerca d’una llum espiritual al voltant de la qual els sentiments modernistes, neocristians i teosòfics entrellaçaven els seus impulsos motivadors i llenguatges culturals. L’important suport proporcionat en primer lloc per l’Alice Hallgarten per a l’exportació de la pedagogia Montessori s’ha de llegir i valorar com el signe d’una confiança més gran en l’elevació humana, basada en la confiança en els tresors secrets de l’infant i orientada vers un sentit còsmic de l’espiritualitat. / El artículo destaca el papel del cenáculo de “La Montesca” y de su personaje principal, la baronesa Alice Hallgarten Franchetti (1874-1911), en el inicio de la primera internacionalización de la pedagogía Montessori. Explorando las conexiones culturales establecidas en torno a ese círculo de Umbría, un verdadero punto de encuentro de almas refinadas que sugieren un ambiente de recogimiento espiritual, es posible descubrir una huella profética que imprime la confianza inmediata demostrada con el desafío de Montessori en la educación, orientada a impulsar una amplia reforma espiritual. La “llama franciscana” que anima la conducta de Alicia Hallgarten Franchetti, en el marco de un extenso horizonte de devoción a los ideales de la elevación humana y la fraternidad universal, refleja la búsqueda de una luz espiritual en torno a la cual los sentimientos modernistas, neocristianos y teosóficos entrelazaron impulsos motivadores y lenguajes culturales. En este sentido, el formidable apoyo brindado primeramente por Alicia Hallgarten Franchetti para la exportación de la pedagogía Montessori debe ser leído y valorado como el signo de una mayor confianza en la elevación humana, basada en la confianza en los tesoros secretos del niño y encaminada a abrazar un sentido cósmico de la espiritualidad.

Abstract/Notes: Alternative education methods which occured as a reaction to the traditional education systems are approaches that are child centered and that focus on practical learning and accept each child as a unique individual. Montessori Method, one of the alternative education approaches, differs from other alternative education methods by being an approach giving maximum freedom to the child, reflects the education principles not only to the education method but also to the physical environment of the child, and advocates that the strongest relationship in education is established between the child and the environment. This study, in which the main principles of Montessori Method were determined via conceptual analysis, aims to examine the effects and reflections of generated concepts on space organization. For this purpose, five Montessori schools from different countries, designed by different architects in different years, which can be reached through visual, written, and drawn documents are discussed. / Geleneksel eğitim sistemine tepki olarak ortaya çıkan alternatif eğitim metotları, özgürlükçü, çocuk odaklı, deneysel öğretimi esas alan ve her çocuğu ayrı bir birey olarak kabul eden yaklaşımlar olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Bu alternatif eğitim yaklaşımlarından biri olan Montessori Metodu ise, çocuğa maksimum bağımsızlık veren, eğitim ilkelerini sadece eğitim yöntemine değil, çocuğun fiziksel çevresine de yansıtan ve eğitimdeki en güçlü ilişkinin çocuk ile ortam arasında kurulduğunu savunan bir yaklaşım olmasıyla diğer alternatif eğitim metotlarından ayrılmaktadır. Montessori Metodu’nun temel değerlerinin kavramsal analiz yoluyla belirlendiği çalışma kapsamında, oluşturulan kavramların mekân örgütlenmesi üzerindeki etkilerinin ve yansımalarının irdelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla alanyazında yer alan, görsel, yazılı ve çizili belgelerine ulaşılabilen, farklı ülkelerde bulunan, farklı yıllarda ve mimarlar tarafından yapılmış olan beş adet Montessori okulu ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen kavramların bu okullar üzerinden okuması yapılarak eğitim yöntemi ile eğitim mekânı arasında güçlü bir ilişkinin olduğu ortaya konulmuştur.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori, a doctor of medicine in Italy, employed herself in curing abnormal children, afterwards, turned to an educator. She was influenced partly by Itard and Seguin, and partly by Rousseau and Froebel. Recently arguments on Montessori method have resumed with the worldwide concern to develop early the powers latent within children. Montessori method is characterized by the concreteness which her theory can be rightly put into practice because her principles were established on the basis of her experiences in a "Children's House". Since the first criticism on her theory by kilpatrick, however, there have been arguments for and against her theory. Her educational theory, first of all, premised that the fundemental differences between children and adults must always be considered; unlike the case of adults with their development stopped, "preparing environment" required along the developmental stages of children must be given to them. She stressed, under this environment, the importance of the spontaneous activity by child without being interfered and of the role of teachers as his assistants only when help demanded. She discovered the phenemenon of concentration through children's sponta-neous interest in learning, and regarded such a situation reached as being normalized. She also considered the sensitive period, in which intellectual absorption is most remarkable, she said that unless a papticular ability was gained in the period, child would lose an opportunity of developing the ability. Though her educational theory and method has an important effect upon early childhood education, there are many problems awaiting solution. Therefore it is desirable that the questions are settled and new Montessori school based on Montessori method is developed.
