The Montessori method in Education: Societal Needs Yesterday and Today

More about the book

Montessori education, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, emphasizes a child-centered approach that transforms traditional classrooms. In these environments, children engage with specially designed materials, fostering independent and collaborative learning. The method promotes holistic development—cognitive, emotional, social, and physical—through self-motivated exploration. Guided by attentive teachers and supported by a nurturing, multi-age community, students experience a unique blend of independence, citizenship, and accountability, encouraging a love for learning and inquiry.
