Publisher's Synopsis
The Montessori Method is a book written by Maria Montessori that outlines her educational philosophy and methodology. First published in 1912, the book is considered a classic in the field of education and has been translated into many languages. Montessori's approach to education is based on the idea that children have an innate desire to learn and explore their environment. She believed that the role of the teacher was to facilitate this natural process of learning, rather than to impose knowledge on the child. The book describes Montessori's unique approach to education, which involves creating a prepared environment that is carefully designed to meet the needs of each child. This environment includes specially designed materials that allow children to learn through exploration and discovery. Montessori also emphasizes the importance of fostering independence and self-discipline in children, as well as the need for a strong sense of community within the classroom. The Montessori Method has had a profound impact on the field of education, and Montessori schools can now be found all over the world. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in education, child development, or the Montessori approach to learning.1912. Montessori, the first Italian woman M.D., was one of the great pioneers in studying the intellectual development of the young child. Only through movement and manipulation, through thinking with the senses, does the child proceed to later abstract thinking. The doctor carried her insight; that children learned through all their senses, to its logical conclusion. On their way to cleanliness, order, poise, and conversation, children use the Montessori materials-inherently logical and aesthetically pleasing-to develop a sense for order and logical thought, and a firm foundation for success in learning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
