More on Doctor Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori is often referred to as “ahead of her time”. Born in Italy in 1870, Maria Montessori moved to Rome with her parents in 1875 at the age of five. Although her father Alessandro embraced traditional views of female education, it was the more liberal approach of her mother, Renilde Montessori that encouraged Maria Montessori to explore her natural inclination to learn, regardless of the social restrictions placed on women in the male-dominated society of the day. In so doing, Renilde played an active role in her daughter’s upbringing, and indeed, the whole philosophy behind what is now known as the “Montessori Method.”
Studies in math, physics, natural sciences, biology and medicine led Maria Montessori to apply to the College of Medicine at the University of Rome, and she became the first female certified physician in Italy in 1896, graduating at the top of her class. In addition to her duties as a doctor, Maria Montessori conducted research work in psychiatric medicine and continued her education in philosophy, psychology and education. She was appointed professor of anthropology at the University of Rome in 1904.
Throughout, her interest in the development of children grew – first from her experience with disabled children and the deplorable state of their care at the time, then further with mentally-challenged
Children in her care. As she learned from the work of others already accomplished in the area of early childhood education, her own theories evolved, embracing elements, ideas and methods of all disciplines she had studied.
In 1906, at the age of 36, Maria Montessori founded the first Casa dei Bambini, or “Children’s House” for children of the industrial revolution’s working-class in one of the city’s worst slum districts. With some 60 children in her care, Maria Montessori began their education by instructing the older children on how to help out with everyday chores. Sense materials that she had developed previously were introduced, and to her surprise, Montessori discovered how naturally young children adapted and enjoyed learning everyday tasks. The structure of work and constructive activity gave the children a sense of self-worth that they had never before experienced.
Dr. Maria Montessori (1870 – 1952)
One of Dr. Maria Montessori’s first major hurdles to improve the lives of these children was accomplished by encouraging parents to recognize that their children were special and of great value. From this reverence for the individual beauty and potential grew the Montessori Method. Critical periods of early childhood development were identified through her observations, and the methodology evolved to address these periods with age-appropriate learning tools and activities. Further development of the methodology embraced what Montessori described as the “cosmic education” – where children would be given the environment and guidance to become the peacemakers of the future, existing in harmony with all living beings in a sustainable world.
From this time to her death in 1952, Maria Montessori continued her work, which became widely recognized and embraced throughout the United States, Europe, and India. She conducted and founded training courses on these continents, established a research institute in Spain, and developed Montessori Training Centers in the Netherlands and London. Maria Montessori was a three-time nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize- in 1949, 1950, and 1951.
