Abstract/Notes: The transition to distance learning in the spring of 2020 caused by COVID-19 was particularly challenging for Montessori educators and students because key elements of the Method were not directly transferable to this new and hastily designed format. Hands-on learning with Montessori materials and learning in a community, as well as careful teacher observation, could not be easily replicated when children were learning from home. To understand how educators applied Montessori principles to serve children and families in these highly unusual circumstances, we surveyed Early Childhood and Elementary Montessori teachers about how they translated core elements of Montessori education to a distance-learning environment. The overall results suggest that Montessori distance-learning arrangements balanced live videoconference experiences for children with offline hands-on activities, while also relying on parents’ and caregivers’ involvement. Teachers reported that they largely designed learning experiences themselves, without significant support or guidance from school leaders. Still, teachers reported that they were able to uphold Montessori principles to only a moderate degree under the circumstances. While teachers understandably hunger for support, professional connections, and a return to the classroom experiences that drew them to the field of Montessori education, this study highlights factors that may affect the transition back to school for teachers, parents and caregivers, and students when face-to-face instruction resumes for all children.

Abstract/Notes: L’œuvre majeure de Maria Montessori, connue en français sous le titre de Pédagogie scientifique, avec quelquefois, en sous-titre, La découverte de l’enfant, a fait l’objet il y a peu d’une édition critique, permettant de retracer des évolutions à travers les nombreux ajouts, retraits et reprises du texte. Après deux publications précoces, en 1909 et 1913, le texte connaît quelques modifications dans les dernières éditions du vivant de l’autrice, en 1926, 1935 et 1950. La troisième édition, cherchant à imposer le modèle des maisons d’enfants en Italie, enlève des références jugées trop naturalistes pour épouser des accents plus spiritualistes, sans que le fonds ne soit modifié (cf. Trabalzini, 2003, p. 11) : il s’agit de ne pas être pierre de scandale en se réclamant de scientifiques de la nature qui pourraient heurter l’opinion publique ou les instances politiques. Plus au loin, des renvois seront faits, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, aux autres ouvrages déjà publiés, et certains thèmes seront élaborés plus avant. Concernant Fröbel, comme deux autres grandes figures classiques de la pédagogie, Rousseau et Pestalozzi, les références directes demeurent maigres, et ne montrent qu’une relation distante, appuyant parfois uniquement sur l’aspect « libertaire, spontanéiste et permissif » (cf. Scocchera, 2000, p. XXXIV) de la pédagogie de la maison des enfants. D’autres noms, comme ceux de Pereira, d’Itard ou de Séguin, jouissent à première vue d’un autre prestige. [The major work of Maria Montessori, known in French under the title of Scientific Pedagogy, with sometimes, in subtitle, The discovery of the child, was recently the subject of a critical edition, allowing to retrace the evolutions through the numerous additions, withdrawals and repetitions of the text. After two early publications, in 1909 and 1913, the text underwent some modifications in the last editions during the author's lifetime, in 1926, 1935 and 1950. The third edition, seeking to impose the model of children's homes in Italy, removes references deemed too naturalistic to take on more spiritualistic accents, without the fund being modified (cf. Trabalzini, 2003, p. 11): it is a question of not being a rock of scandal by claiming to be scientists of the nature that could offend public opinion or political authorities. Further on, references will be made, after the Second World War, to other works already published, and certain themes will be elaborated further. Concerning Fröbel, like two other great classical figures of pedagogy, Rousseau and Pestalozzi, the direct references remain thin, and only show a distant relationship, sometimes relying solely on the "libertarian, spontaneist and permissive" aspect (cf. Scocchera , 2000, p. XXXIV) of the pedagogy of the children's home. Other names, such as those of Pereira, Itard or Séguin, enjoy at first sight a different prestige.]
