Maria Montessori and Celestin Freinet: A comparative study of their pedagogical Approaches

Abstract

This study aims to shed light on the pedagogy of two science scientists in the twentieth century, Maria Montessori and Celestin Freneit, who left an important scientific legacy still circulating in the world today, under the title "Learning in another way." Vernet introduced a "pedagogy of difference" that deals with each child in complete privacy with the use of the principle of Learning by experimentation so that the child has a vital role in the educational process and gives great importance to work in school and openness to the outside world. On the other hand, we find Maria Montessori, whose name is still reigning the field research in pedagogy for it consolidates the rule of self-education and the principle of "teach me how to do it on my own." Although the obvious differences observed in pedagogy of Montessori and Vernet, this does not prevent the existence of similarities between them
