In "The Montessori Method," Maria Montessori introduces a
scientific approach to pedagogy. The Montessori schools which she
established and developed are intended for children three to seven
years of age. The children are allowed as much freedom as possible
and are provided with "didactic materials" which are various
artifacts which they can use to educate themselves. They are
supervised by a single directress whose primary task is to observe
the children and direct their efforts by explaining to them how
various didactic materials are used (it's very simple, but nothing
is obvious to a young child). This book offers some valuable
concrete advice, but its primary use to me was as an introduction
to the approach of scientific pedagogy. The basic premises of the
Montessori Method are that (1) children have a natural desire to
learn and (2) one can learn how to live in freedom only by being
free. These premises are fully supported and fleshed out in the
book. The Montessori method achieved startling results, with four
year old children (on average) learning to be masters of
themselves, disciplined, benevolent, self-confident, and capable of
reading and writing. Every educator should be familiar with Maria
Montessori's work. This particular edition includes the
illustrations from an early printing.
