The Montessoris pedagogy in holistic terms

There are already a lot of publications on Montessori’s pedagogy, both abroad and in Poland. The authors of those scientific articles and monographs usually focused on one or more selected issues and discussed them or developed in context of their own research. The great number of those publications isn’t something negative, because it enables getting to know this pedagogical conception in depth. However this great number of studies and the variety of raised issues cause that the constitutive elements of this pedagogy blur in details of this numerous publications and also cause that the originality of this pedagogy becomes difficult to catch. This situation was the reason for attempting to define this pedagogy, that is, to define its constitutive components, to subject them to analyses and then to combine them into a holistic conception of pedagogy called Montessori’s pedagogy.
