Montessori Method and School in Barcelona until the Civil War (1936-1939). From Unconditional Adherence to Eclecticism Authors Salvador Domènech i Domènech Societat d’Història de l’Educació dels Països de Llengua Catalana Keywords: Montessori Method, Case dei Bambini, Barcelona City Council, Mancomunitat de Catalunya, Diputació de Barcelona, Manuel Ainaud, Alexandre Galí, New School, pedagogical renewal Abstract Maria Montessori’s method left a deep and rich renovating educational footprint in the city of Barcelona before the Franco regime (1939). An active, cheerful, playful, co-educational, science-based system, in which the child is the protagonist. The teacher accompanies the students, trying to respect their rhythms in their personal learning itinerary. The Montessori revolution was possible because the Mancomunitat de Catalunya, the Diputació de Barcelona and the municipal administration believed in it, created schools, Case dei Bambini, and promoted continuous teacher training through courses, seminars, and Summer Schools.
