Abstract/Notes: This contribution aims to highlight the aspects of the Montessori Method that are particularly functional to inclusive classroom management and for a heterogeneous school context. The theoretical framework is the idea of education in the Montessori approach in that she is considered the forerunner of an inclusive pedagogical vision. In fact, while the first years of her research were addressed to the field of special education, she was soon convinced of the possibility of extending her studies also to “conventional” schools. On the basis of this belief, her experimental work was soon extended from institutions for disabled children to a series of kindergartens (called “Children’s House”) first in Rome and then in the rest of the world. In the second part of this brief analysis, a study is presented on the use of the QBS questionnaire (Tobia & Marzocchi, 2015) with a sample of 73 Montessori public school children and their parents. The questionnaire on “Quality of Wellbeing at School” is the tool we selected for the phase of data collection, with the intention to investigate the point of view of pupils and their parents. Our analysis aims to understand the perception of well-being at school in children and their families. The statistical analysis applied to the results from the administration of the questionnaires revealed some significant data, in particular in the scale relating to satisfaction and recognition and in the scale relating to the relationship with classmates. At the same time, the statistical analysis of the questionnaire dedicated to parents revealed a significant effect on the scale related to child awareness.

Abstract/Notes: In 2013, one hundred years passed since the fi rst Polish issue of Maria Montessori’s (1870– 1952) “Children’s House”, which so far has been her only work translated and edited in Poland, was published. The reception process of her system in the world was related to historical and socio-political events. Between 1912 and 1939, there were some attempts in Poland to become acquainted with the assumptions of her pedagogy, to publish reviews of her books, to analyze her achievements and, of course, to evaluate their practical application. The Second World War and the political changes in Poland after 1945 hindered the possibility of broadening the knowledge about many (innovative at that time) methods of working with children on the level of the preschool and elementary education which were developed in Western Europe. It was not until 1989 that changes gradually introduced in the Polish education enabled many educators, both theoreticians and practitioners, to gain access to the scientifi c achievements of Western Europe as well as the application of “new” solutions in practice. The aim of the study is to show the development and application of the educational system of Maria Montessori in the Polish educational institutions over the period 1912–2015 in the context of socio-cultural changes.

Abstract/Notes: L’ecologia dello sviluppo umano è da tempo un aspetto importante della ricerca educativa; a partire dalla teoria educativa di Maria Montessori e dagli studi di Urie Bronfenbrenner l’ecologia è parte integrante di una visione aggiornata delle prassi educative. Le recenti discussioni riguardanti la protezione e la sostenibilità dell’ambiente richiamano anche oggi l’attenzione degli studiosi e degli educatori su questa questione. L’enciclica di papa Francesco sulla crisi ambientale richiama tutti gli uomini, a prescindere dalla loro fede religiosa, a prendere iniziative per la difesa dell’ambiente e per la promozione di migliori condizioni di vita delle persone umane e persino di tutti gli esseri viventi. La questione ecologica richiama l’esigenza di una protezione del principale ambiente educativo e di vita del bambino, che è la famiglia; la recente risoluzione del Consiglio delle Nazioni Unite per i diritti umani sottolinea questo obiettivo e costituisce una base per una profonda riflessione sulle migliori pratiche da realizzare al fine di offrire all’infanzia le cure di cui ha bisogno e garantire la tutela dei suoi diritti. Montessori offre suggerimenti interessanti per la pratica educativa. / La ecología del desarrollo humano ha sido durante mucho tiempo un aspecto importante de la investigación en educación; a partir de la teoría educativa de María Montessori y los estudios de Urie Bronfenbrenner la ecología es una parte integral de una visión actualizada de las prácticas educativas. Los recientes debates sobre la protección y la sostenibilidad del medio ambiente llaman hoy la atención de los estudiosos y educadores sobre este tema. La encíclica de Francisco sobre la crisis ambiental pide a todas las personas, independientemente de su religión, a tomar iniciativas para proteger el medio ambiente y para la promoción de mejores condiciones de vida de las personas y por todos los seres vivientes. La cuestión ecológica recuerda la necesidad de protección del principal ambiente educativo de la vida del niño, que es la familia; La reciente resolución del Consejo de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos indica este proposito y nos permite reflexionar profundamente sobre las mejores prácticas que se implementarán para ofrecer a los niños la atención que necesitan y garantizar la protección de sus derechos. Montessori ofrece sugerencias interesantes para la práctica educativa. / The ecology of human development has long been an important aspect of educational research; since Maria Montessori’s educational works and Urie Bronfenbrenner’s studies, ecology became an integral part of an updated vision regarding the educational practices. Today’s discussions about the biological and social environment, its protection and sustainability, recall the attention of scholars and educators on this issue. Pope Francis’s encyclical about the environmental crisis asks all people, regardless of their religious belief, to take initiatives in order to protect the environment and to promote better living conditions for all people and even for all living beings. The ecological question recalls the need for the protection of the main educational environment in the child’s life, which is the family. A recent United Nations Human Rights Council’s resolution points out this purpose and constitutes a basis for a deep reflection upon the best practices to implement in order to offer all children the care they need and to ensure the protection of their rights. Montessori provides interesting suggestions for the educational practice.
