Maria Montessori lived between 1870 and 1952. She was an Italian educator who has left her mark on education today. Her Montessori method of education is widely used all round the world. Many educationalists say it is the best system for child education. Montessori was also a doctor, philosopher and philanthropist. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times for her work.
瑪利亞·蒙臺梭利生活時間為1870-1952。她是意大利教育家,并對當今教育學影響深遠。她的教育方法在全球廣為流傳。許多教育學人士認為,她的教育體系最適合兒童教育。蒙臺梭利還是一名醫(yī)生,哲學家以及慈善家。曾三次獲得諾貝爾和平獎提名。
Montessori was the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome’s Medical School. She trained as a psychiatrist and was interested in educating the "mentally retarded" and others with learning difficulties. She had great success when her class of “problematic” 8-year-olds had above-average scores in state reading and writing tests. This was described as "the first Montessori miracle."
蒙臺梭利是首位畢業(yè)于羅馬醫(yī)學院女學生。她是一名神經(jīng)病學家,并逐漸對“低能”學習障礙教育產(chǎn)生興趣。在閱讀和寫作課程中,8歲智障兒童成績高出平均分,蒙臺梭利研究取得重大成功。首個“蒙臺梭利奇跡”出現(xiàn)。

Hearing about Maria's achievements, Rome's government asked her to start her own children’s school. In 1907, the Casa del Bambini opened in a poor neighbourhood of Rome. Montessori experimented with a philosophy she called “spontaneous self-development”, which meant letting children develop and learn at their own pace. Her methods once again met with great success. More schools opened and she gained worldwide fame.
獲悉瑪利亞取得重大成功,羅馬政府希望她成立自己的兒童學校。1907年,“兒童之家”在羅馬貧苦郊區(qū)建成。并不斷嘗試“自我發(fā)展”教育法,讓兒童按照自己的節(jié)奏學習。她的方法再一次取得成功。多所學校相繼開辦,瑪利亞享譽世界。
Montessori was exiled from Italy because she refused to allow her schools to turn children into soldiers. She lived in Spain until the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936. In 1939 she moved to India and spent ten years working on training courses, which are still seen as innovative today. She traveled the world lecturing until her death in 1952.
因拒絕將學校兒童培養(yǎng)成士兵,蒙臺梭利被逐出意大利。1936年西班牙內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)之前,瑪利亞一直呆在西班牙。1939年,蒙臺梭利前往印度,利用十年時間研究培訓課程,現(xiàn)如今,她的教育方法仍具創(chuàng)新性。在瑪利亞于1952年去世之前,一直環(huán)游世界進行演說。
