Abstract/Notes: Kinder lieben es, Tätigkeiten nachzuahmen, die sie bei Erwachsenen im täglichen Leben sehen. Dies hat schon Maria Montessori beobachtet und entsprechende Übungen in ihre Pädagogik integriert - »Die Übungen des praktischen Lebens« sind fester Bestandteil der Montessori-Pädagogik. Die Übungen in diesem Buch helfen Kindern, wichtige Lern- und Entwicklungsprozesse erfolgreich zu bewältigen. Das Buch beschäftigt sich ausführlich mit diesem Thema und stellt eine Vielzahl an Übungen vor, die in dieser Fülle in keinem anderen Buch zu finden sind. Neben diesen praktischen Ideen werden in einem theoretischen Teil die wichtigsten Aspekte der Pädagogik Maria Montessori erläutert und die Einbettung der "Übungen des praktischen Lebens" innerhalb der Pädagogik deutlich gemacht. Das Buch eignet sich besonders für pädagogische Fachkräfte im Elementarbereich und im heilpädagogischen Arbeitsfeld. Aber auch Eltern, Großeltern, Tagesmütter und Spielgruppen - Leiterinnen finden darin interessante Impulse. [Children love to imitate activities that they see adults doing in their daily lives. Maria Montessori already observed this and integrated appropriate exercises into her pedagogy - »The exercises of practical life« are an integral part of Montessori pedagogy. The exercises in this book help children to successfully master important learning and development processes. The book deals with this topic in detail and presents a large number of exercises that cannot be found in any other book in this abundance. In addition to these practical ideas, the most important aspects of Maria Montessori's pedagogy are explained in a theoretical part and the embedding of the "practical life exercises" within the pedagogy is made clear. The book is particularly suitable for pedagogical specialists in elementary school and in the field of curative education. But also parents, grandparents, childminders and playgroup leaders find interesting impulses in it.]

Abstract/Notes: The late 1920s and early 1930s in Italy saw the peak of a process establishing Montessori pedagogy which would come to an end within a decade with the drastic closure of all Montessori schools in the country. This epilogue, which would also be seen in those years in other countries with a similar political regime, calls for an analysis of the relations between the creator of the most famous and widespread pedagogical method in the world and the political regime that favoured the application and dissemination of the method in Italy - a country in which it had still not encountered those conditions of realisation that would instead come about in the crucial years of the rise of Fascism and the completion of the totalitarian state. The essay examines the main events marking the history of Montessori’s conflictual relationship with Fascism in the years 1924-1934, from the initial contacts characterising it and leading up to the final break, after which Montessori finally left Italy until the end of World War II.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori’s approach, based on observation of and experimentation with children’s learning processes, remains one of the longest-standing and widely embraced forms of alternative education. Contemporary neuroscience research increasingly validates Montessori’s principles, yet a robust bridge between these two fields remains elusive. Factors such as differing goals, terminology and the lack of a collaborative framework hinder their synergy. This literature review explores the intersection between neuroscience findings and Montessori’s educational philosophy, structured into five key areas. The Perspective first presents various neuroscience insights: an exploration of aspects related to learning, brain development and cognition. Second, a brief background on Maria Montessori’s contributions: a historical overview of Maria Montessori's life, work and educational methodology. Third is the identification of the areas where neuroscience and Montessori principles intersect, including the importance of movement, emotional development, social learning, the role of the prepared environment, the transition from concrete to abstract concepts, self-regulation, sensitive periods and memory. Finally, while acknowledging the challenges and limitations in researching Montessori education, this review emphasises the growing evidence that supports the alignment of Montessori principles with neuroscience findings. This underscores the enduring relevance of Montessori’s holistic education approach and highlights the potential benefits of a deeper collaboration between these fields, to enhance educational practices and promote comprehensive learning experiences for children. / L'approche éducative de Maria Montessori, fondée sur l'observation et l'expérimentation de l'enfant, reste l'une des formes d'éducation alternative les plus anciennes et les plus largement adoptées. La recherche contemporaine en neurosciences valide de plus en plus les principes de Montessori, mais établir un pont solide entre ces deux domaines reste difficile. Des facteurs tels que des objectifs différents, une terminologie différente et l'absence d'un cadre de collaboration entravent leur synergie. Cette revue de la littérature explore l'intersection entre les résultats des neurosciences et la philosophie éducative de Montessori, structurée en cinq domaines clés : Premièrement, la présentation de quelques idées neuroscientifiques : Une exploration de divers aspects neuroscientifiques liés à l'apprentissage, au développement du cerveau et à la cognition. Deuxièmement, un bref historique des contributions de Maria Montessori : un aperçu historique de la vie, de l'œuvre et de la méthodologie éducative de Maria Montessori. L'identification des domaines où les neurosciences et les principes Montessori se croisent est ensuite présentée, notamment l'importance du mouvement, le développement émotionnel, l'apprentissage social, le rôle de l'environnement préparé, la transition des concepts concrets aux concepts abstraits, l'autorégulation, les périodes sensibles et la mémoire. Tout en reconnaissant les défis et les limites de la recherche en éducation Montessori, cette revue met l'accent sur les preuves de plus en plus nombreuses de l'alignement des principes Montessori sur les résultats des neurosciences. Cela souligne la pertinence durable de l'approche éducative holistique de Montessori et met en lumière les avantages potentiels d'une collaboration plus approfondie entre ces domaines, dans le but d'améliorer les pratiques éducatives et de favoriser des expériences d'apprentissage complètes pour les enfants.
