Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Montessori Method and the American School The Montessori Method has been given so much publicity by the American press that its peculiarities have become quite generally known, and one who attempts to describe them further is in danger of repetition. It is my aim, however, simply to offer to those who have a practical interest in its intimate details some of the impressions received through an investigation of the Method at first hand, as well as some results of experiments made among children with whom I work daily at the Iowa State Teachers College. The talks herein published are the substance of discussions conducted with classes, following my return from Rome. It is not their purpose to crystallize attention upon some one feature of the equipment or upon some one element of the method, but rather to promote the study of the principles underlying the entire equipment and the entire method. All pedagogical history proves that reforms in education develop slowly. It would be a curious anomaly if the Children's House did not conform to this law of evolution. Its best friends are those who willingly submit it to the comparisons possible because of work done in the exceptionally good home, good kindergarten and good primary school of to-day, and to the tests that the psychological laboratories are urging for all educational procedure.

CHAPTER VI NUMBER DEVELOPMENT The number instinct is strong in every normal child. Long before the school period, even before his use of spoken language for his counting one, two, three, the child rhythmically touches the objects within his reach, saying syllables which indicate a consciousness of the fewness or multiplicity of things. He sits for an hour at a time shifting the sand in his sand pile from one place to another, measuring and counting by pailfuls with the greatest satisfaction. He enjoys the process of arranging sticks, pebbles and cards into bundles...

Like many other people I had been greatly stirred in the summer of 1912 by reading the English translation of Dr. Mon tessori's book which in the Italian edition bore the title, 'the Method of Scientific Pedagogy applied to Infant Instruction in the Case dei Bambini, ' a title more suited to the contents than was that of the Montessori Method adopted by the American translator.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Montessori Method It is more than twelve years ago that an illuminating course in Educational Psychology which I took under Professor John Dewey, then of the University of Chicago, directed what had until that time been on my part only a general interest in psychology, toward the specific question of the relation of various educational theories to the truths of child psychology. The interest so directed was further stimulated by my relations with Professor Thorndike of the Teacher's College in connection with his courses in methods there. The subsequent years of experience as principal of a school which includes a kindergarten and primary department in its curriculum, and as a teacher of elementary psychology to the older pupils, have given concrete opportunities for putting theories into practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kindergarten and the Montessori Method: An Attempt at Synthesis Dear Madam: - Yesterday I had practically all of your entire manuscript, "The Kindergarten and the Montessori Method," read aloud to me. I liked both the style and the matter very much. You certainly have a very happy, fluent and lucid way of expressing your ideas, and naturally the conception of bringing together the ideas of Froebel, Montessori and genetic psychology and experimental psychology struck me as a desideratum I had long been waiting to see. I regret to say that as I have mislaid your first letter I do not recall with certainty exactly what you expected of me in sending your manuscript. If it was to get my reaction to it, you have it above. If it was to have it printed in my journal, I regret to say that it is much too long and a little outside the field my journal is coming more and more to commit itself to. As to chances of publication for the kindergarten article, in book form, I am afraid my opinion would not be worth very much. I think the effect of the present war is depressing upon all publications and tends to make houses more careful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in "the Children's Houses," With Additions and Revisions by the Author The Italian edition of It Metodo della Pedagogia Scientifica had no preface, because the book itself I con sider nothing more than the preface to a more compre hensive work, the aim and extent of which it only indi cates. For the educational method for children of from three to six years set forth here is but the earnest of a work that, developing the same principle and method, shall cover in a like manner the successive stages of education. Moreover, the method which obtains in the Case dei Bam bini offers, it seems to me, an experimental field for the study of man, and promises, perhaps, the development of a science that shall disclose other secrets of nature.

Download or read book The Montessori System of Child Culture 1913 A Report Classic Reprint written by Clara E. Craig and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Montessori System of Child Culture, 1913: A Report One of the functions of a state department of education is to gather and disseminate educational information. In truth, though other duties and wider responsibility have been committed to this divis ion of the people's government in school law and administration, state offices of education were established primarily to investigate and make known educational conditions, activities and results. Such service, as a necessary condition of public knowledge and educational improvement, includes not only regular surveys of a state's entire educational enterprise, but also special studies of successful practices and important movements in education, both within and without the state. Educational progress in a state, depending upon popular support and cooperation, as well as upon the professional knowledge and technical skill of teachers, is promoted by a constant enlight enment of the public mind on important educational movements and successful educational experience elsewhere. The Board of Education has long recognized the responsibility of the department as a depository of educational information and has sought a knowl edge and true evaluation of significant educational activities else where, especially those adaptable to our own aims, conditions and needs. For this reason the Board could hardly neglect a study of the remarkable work of Dr. Maria Montessori in Italy. The early approval of trained teachers and professional students showed clearly that the Montessori system of child culture deserves the consideration of all those who have charge of the school education of children. The real and widespread interest awakened in America and other countries and the astonishing attention accorded to popular expositions of the system were followed by hurried attempts to estab lish Montessori schools, sometimes without adequate knowledge of aims, methods and principles involved or full appreciation of their adaptability to our conditions and needs.

Download or read book The Montessori Method written by Maria Montessori and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential resource for all students and scholars of early childhood education, this book offers a rich array of material about Maria Montessori and the Montessori Method. Distinguished education scholar Gerald Gutek begins with an in-depth biography of Montessori, exploring how a determined young woman overcame the obstacles that blocked her educational and career opportunities in Italy during the late Victorian age. The author then analyzes the sources and influences that shaped the Montessori philosophy of education. After laying the foundation for Montessori's development, Gutek presents an annotated and abridged edition of The Montessori Method (1912), the seminal work that introduced her educational innovations to a U.S. audience. The book concludes with key historical documents, including disciple Anne E. George's notes on the Montessori lectures and William H. Kilpatrick's critique of the Montessori method. Preserving the historical context of Montessori's contribution, Gutek also shows the continuing relevance of her thought to educational reform in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book The Montessori Method written by Maria Montessori and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maria Montessori's method of educating children, which she details in this book, is based on a conception of liberty for the pupil; it entails formal training of separate sensory, motor, and mental capacities; and leads to rapid and substantial mastery of the elements of reading, writing, and arithmetic. The Montessori Method is important because it springs from a combination of sympathy and intuition, social outlook, scientific training, intensive study of educational problems and the author's unusual experience as a teacher and educational leader. Following opening statements from J. McV. Hunt and Jaan Valsiner, Maria Montessori discusses topics including pedagogical methods used in the children's houses, discipline, diet, gymnastics, manual labor, education of the senses, intellectual education, methods of teaching reading and writing, language in childhood, and teaching of numeration. This classic volume in the education of children takes on urgent relevance for parents, teachers, and administrators in all parts of our society. The suburban mother seeking an environment of "structured freedom" for an imaginative, quick-learning pre-schooler; the educator jolted into awareness that slum children are irreparably handicapped by cultural impoverishment before the age of six; explorers of "new" techniques of teaching reading, of programmed instruction and learning by conditioning and reinforcement-by-approval--all these are instructed by Maria Montessori's theory and the reports of her work in the Casa dei Bambini in the slum quarter of Rome.
