Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of studying pedagogical ideas and concepts of the Italian educator M. Montessori in Ukraine and their implementation in the national scientific and educational space. It has been revealed that M. Montessori’s pedagogical system is the subject of active research and discussions by specialists, and it has its critics and supporters in different countries. The main problems of the Ukrainian Montessorianism have been identified. The article analyzes the key areas of research on the figure and legacy of M. Montessori in historical retrospect from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. The problems of scientific studies dedicated to M. Montessori’s activities and pedagogical ideas, published during 1991–2025, have been specified. The article states that in Ukraine, the practical application of M. Montessori’s pedagogical system and humanistic ideas precedes the research of her heritage. The ways of introducing M. Montessori’s experience and pedagogical concept into the scientific and educational space of Ukraine through the creation of a national model of the Montessori education have been considered. The peculiarities of the functioning of Montessori institutions in Ukraine (preschools, schools, educational and rehabilitation centers) have been highlighted. The activities of the Ukrainian representative offices of the International Montessori Association and public organizations popularizing the Montessori system (Ukrainian Montessori Educational Center, All-Ukrainian Association of Teachers, «Montessori. UA») have been specified. The state and functioning of Montessori institutions in Ukraine in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war have been revealed.
