A complete and unabridged edition of Maria Montessori's classic.
Fully of deep gentle wisdom. As relevant today as ever.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This groundbreaking classic of educational philosophy takes on
urgent new necessity today, as "traditional" methods of
early-childhood schooling seem to be failing us. Published in
Italian in 1909 and first translated into English in 1912, these
still-revolutionary theories focus on the individuality of the
child and on nurturing her inherent joy of learning to create
schools and other learning environments that are oriented on the
child. Eschewing rote memorization and drilling, Montessori's
method helps to foster abstract thinking and to fulfill a child's
highest potential, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
Parents from all walks of life will find the ideas herein immensely
valuable. Italian doctor and educator MARIA MONTESSORI (1870-1952)
was the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome Medical
School. She traveled extensively in Europe, America, and the Near
East, studying early education and testing her educational methods.
Spontaneous Activity in Education details the principles of Maria
Montessori's educational philosophy, allowing the reader to grasp
her unique and innovative style of teaching. Published in the early
20th century and translated to English in 1917, this manual of
education contains a step-by-step account of the approach
Montessori took in teaching youngsters. Although a doctor by trade,
Montessori held a profound interest in the development of young
people's minds, and how best to ensure they fulfill their academic
potential. To this end, she devised a system of education which
aims to give every child the best chance of success, irrespective
of their individual capacity for learning. In this book, the
Montessori system is explained in terms useful for parents and
teachers alike. Explaining the nature of a child's life, Montessori
discusses her personal contributions to experiments in education,
and how when these were applied correctly the achievement and
advancement of children was improved.
