Maria Montessori saw that children gained a sense of satisfaction through doing work of their own choosing, and that the role of the adult was to allow this natural ability of the child to flourish through careful design of the environment, and the development of freedom within a positive structure. Through examples of her observations Montessori details the reasoning behind her methods. This book is translated from its original in Italian. – Summary by Grace En-Tien Chang     [chương_files]

Mind And Its Education

Rate this audiobook

“We are to study the mind and its education; but how? It is easy to understand how we may investigate the great world of material things about us; for we can see it, touch it, weigh it, or measure it. But how are we to discover the nature of the mind, or come to know the processes by which consciousness works? For mind is intangible; we cannot see it, feel it, taste it, or handle it. Mind belongs not to the realm of matter which is known to the senses, but to the realm of spirit, which the senses can never grasp. And yet the mind can be known and studied as truly and as scientifically as can the world of matter.” This book of over a hundred years is full of useful and practical information. The author’s elegant use of referencing poetry and literature in forming mental images as a way of educating our creative minds makes for a most pleasurable read. – Summary by Mike Justice and from the text     [chương_files]
