Maria Montessori Libri

II metodo educativo Montessori, applicato in centinaia di scuole in tutto il mondo, ha rivoluzionato nel profondo la pedagogia degli ultimi cent'anni, proponendo un'idea del bambino completamente diversa da quella fino allora accettata. Il fanciullo viene visto come un essere completo, dotato naturalmente di un'energia creativa e affettiva, e il principio fondamentale che deve improntare la sua educazione è quello della libertà, da cui naturalmente emergerà la disciplina. Questo volume comprende alcuni dei brani chiave del pensiero montessoriano che offrono ai genitori e agli educatori di oggi utili spunti di riflessione per crescere dei bambini liberi, autentici, spontanei, responsabili.

The approach supports mixed-age classrooms to foster social interaction and development. "Spontaneous Activity in Education" explores various aspects of Montessori's philosophy, including child development, classroom setup, teacher training, and broader social issues.
