Master in Maria Montessori e la pedagogia moderna

Students with a deep interest in the historical and philosophical foundations of education will thrive in this programme, which explores the life and pedagogical ideas of Maria Montessori, a trailblazer in the field of early childhood education. The programme delves into her medical training, her work with children with developmental delays, the establishment of the first Casa dei Bambini, and her educational methods, including the use of sensory materials for intellectual development and the concept of the 'absorbent mind.'

The programme is taught in Italian by Fulvio De Giorgi, a renowned scholar in the history of education, and offers a rich historical context, spanning from the late modern era to the present day. It is well-suited to students aiming to pursue careers in education, particularly those interested in Montessori education and its philosophical underpinnings. The course is part of the Fondamenta 2 programme, which has a focus on historical and philosophical education.
