Maria Montessori from Pedagogy to Neurobiology: Suggestions for development

Andrea Bobbio, Manuela Filippa

In such a sense, the concept of cerebral plasticity is the most promising semantic reference for a set of considerations envisaging the creation of an educational environment. One that is in substantial continuity with neuropsychological processes, capable of supporting development from the inside by promoting the uniqueness of an individual’s temperament, and upholding the drive of every child towards autonomy and the full expression of their development potential.

Keywords
