 María Montessori:

 

Maria Montessori was an Italian educator, scientist, physician, psychiatrist, philosopher, psychologist, devout Catholic, feminist, and humanist. He became interested in the education of children with mental deficiencies and applied experimental methods so that these children learned to read and write. Through his professional practice he came to the conclusion that children "are built" from elements of the environment and, to prove it, he returned to university classrooms to study psychology.

I admire María Montessori because she was one of the first people to generate a great revolutionary change in education, in the years she lived it was not seen very well that women studied and neither that they supported the feminist and liberal movements, for that reason. For me he is a very brave and daring person.

María Montessori developed a different pedagogical method focused on the development and social maturity of the student instead of being based on a homogeneous and standard learning, where the emphasis is placed on evaluation, exams or academic courses. Other contributions were that the design and gave importance to the environments is elaborated by the teacher in order to take into account the different work areas in which the child can learn freely, it tells us that each corner must have specific materials for each area you want. . . to develop in the child, for example, plants, costumes, story books, paintings, clay, among other materials.
