The aim of the paper was to demonstrate how the Montessori teaching method, despite the fact that more than a century has passed since its inception, has been able to adapt to the changes of the century and the needs of today's educational institutions. This was achieved by conducting dialogic interviews with five Montessori teachers; through the analysis of these interviews, several commonalities were found with respect to the use of the Montessori method within their teaching contexts. Through the analysis of the interviews, it was possible to ascertain how important it is, even today, to train children who are able to recognise social themes and values, a fundamental thought of the pedagogist Maria Montessori, in addition, it was possible to ascertain how the aid of new technologies has been an evolution for the method and has contributed to its adaptation. A negative note that is common to all the interviews concerns the use of evaluation, which does not permit observation, as described by Montessori, but rather represents an obstacle to the child's development by distracting him from his hunger for knowledge. Therefore, on the basis of the interviews conducted, it can be ascertained that the Montessori teaching method has not remained as it was in 1897, but has evolved, adapting to the changes and needs of the modern child.
All'interno dell'elaborato si è preso in esame l'obiettivo di dimostrare come il metodo didattico Montessori, nonostante sia passato più di un secolo dalla sua nascita, sia riuscito ad adattarsi e adeguarsi ai cambiamenti del secolo e alle esigenze delle istituzioni scolastiche odierne. Ciò è stato possibile tramite la realizzazione di interviste, di tipo dialogico, proposte a cinque maestre montessoriane; attraverso l'analisi delle stesse, sono stati riscontrati diversi punti in comune rispetto all'utilizzo del metodo Montessori all'interno dei loro contesti didattici. Tramite l'analisi delle interviste si è potuto constatare come sia importante, anche al giorno d'oggi, formare bambini che siano in grado di riconoscere i temi e i valori sociali, pensiero fondamentale per la pedagogista Maria Montessori, in più si è potuto appurare come l'ausilio delle nuove tecnologie sia stato un'evoluzione per il metodo e abbia contribuito al suo adattamento. Nota negativa che accomuna tutte le interviste riguarda l'utilizzo della valutazione, la quale non permette l'osservazione, intesa come quella descritta dalla Montessori, ma bensì rappresenta un ostacolo per lo sviluppo del bambino distraendolo dalla fame di conoscenza. Pertanto, sulla base delle interviste effettuate, si può accertare come il metodo didattico Montessori, non sia rimasto quello del 1897, ma abbia avuto modo di evolversi, adattandosi ai cambiamenti e alle esigenze del bambino moderno.

Abstract
The aim of the paper was to demonstrate how the Montessori teaching method, despite the fact that more than a century has passed since its inception, has been able to adapt to the changes of the century and the needs of today's educational institutions. This was achieved by conducting dialogic interviews with five Montessori teachers; through the analysis of these interviews, several commonalities were found with respect to the use of the Montessori method within their teaching contexts. Through the analysis of the interviews, it was possible to ascertain how important it is, even today, to train children who are able to recognise social themes and values, a fundamental thought of the pedagogist Maria Montessori, in addition, it was possible to ascertain how the aid of new technologies has been an evolution for the method and has contributed to its adaptation. A negative note that is common to all the interviews concerns the use of evaluation, which does not permit observation, as described by Montessori, but rather represents an obstacle to the child's development by distracting him from his hunger for knowledge. Therefore, on the basis of the interviews conducted, it can be ascertained that the Montessori teaching method has not remained as it was in 1897, but has evolved, adapting to the changes and needs of the modern child.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
