The Bloomsbury Handbook of Montessori Education
Abstract
Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician, anthropologist, and educator known around the world for her educational philosophy and pedagogy. Her work encourages educational environments tailored to the child where autonomy and independence are encouraged in the contexts of building community and peace education. The Bloomsbury Handbook of Montessori Education showcases the history, pedagogy, global nature of Montessori and current cutting-edge work in the field of Montessori education. Divided into six sections, the Handbook covers the foundations and evolution of the field; Montessori's key writings; implications for pedagogy; key themes and scientific research; the global reach of Montessori; and contemporary considerations such gender, inclusive education, race and multilingualism. Written by scholars and practitioners based in over 20 countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Italy, Kenya, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania, the UK and the USA, this the go-to reference work for anyone interested in Montessori education.

“Compared to today mainstream educational science that ‘has only recently started to pay due attention to the significance of the material and spatial dimensions of learning’ ([107, p. 325]; see also [108]), the MM has a long-standing tradition of so doing and has been deployed in a wide variety of cultural and social contexts”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
