“…Her view centered on respect, and shared elements of the Kantian formula of humanity categorial imperative discussed here (only treat people as ends and never as mere means) to ground an ethics of action. Instead of preference-satisfaction, liberty rights, or interests, however, the fundamental societal-and therefore educational-good on which Montessori education focuses is harmony of activity (Frierson, 2021). Consequently, the respect owed to others creates duties to not interfere or interrupt harmonious activity.…”

“…The expression "don't treat me like a child" reveals a standard account of the supposed asymmetrical moral statuses of adults and children, which allows adults to be treated one way and children another. As Frierson (2021) argued, however, students have "agency worthy of direct respect" (p. 145). That is, according to the Montessorian moral prioritization of the values of character, agency, respect, and solidarity, students do not require "adult forms of deliberation and reflection .…”

Educational theory and practice is dominated by mass formal schooling systems, which routinely and unjustly harm many students. I call this stance “educational pacifism,” and in this paper argue that Montessorians ought to be educational pacifists. That is, they ought to recognize, understand, and reject systemic educational harm and ensure that it does not occur in their own practice, so that Montessori students are not harmed during their education and so that Montessori education might provide a nonharmful educational alternative to mass formal schooling. I suggest that Maria Montessori was, broadly speaking, herself an educational pacifist, and that not only is educational pacifism the morally right position for a Montessorian, but also that it is naturally a Montessorian position.

“…At the same time P. Frierson (2021) states that M. Montessori's moral theory is based on an ideal of a personal self-perfection through work and taking efforts, «the character of individuals as the source of those moral … values which could bring the whole world to a higher plane» (p. 134).…”

“…Introduction 1 The formation of a healthy lifestyle of future teachers is of great importance for society [1,2,3,4]. As the great teacher of the 20th century, Maria Montenssori [5], pointed out, the future teacher must, first of all, be attractive to children. At the first stage, attractiveness for children is determined by the appearance of the teacher.…”

Background and purpose. The future professional work of students of the Faculty of Arts is characterized by an insufficient level of physical activity of a dynamic nature in combination with a large static load and highly coordinated finger work. Representatives of these specialties have their own psychological characteristics. Purpose: to reveal the peculiarities of the properties of the nervous system and the functional potential of the cardiovascular system of students - future teachers of fine arts and music and, based on the obtained data, to develop recommendations for physical education and sports. Material and methods. Students of Pedagogical University took part in the study. The total number of students was 812. 24 of them were students of the Faculty of Arts. Future specialists in physical education and sports took part in the number of 25 people. 763 students were representatives of other faculties. Properties of the nervous system were determined using psychophysiological testing. During psychophysiological testing, the reaction time and the number of errors were determined for each test. The indicators of the orthostatic test were used as indicators of functional readiness. In the orthostatic test, the heart rate was measured in the lying position and in the standing position and the difference between these indicators. Statistical analysis involved comparing students of the Faculty of Arts with students of other faculties using parametric methods, since all samples corresponded to a normal distribution. Results. Future teachers of creative specialties have reliably the least mobility in combination with the highest stability of nervous processes in comparison with representatives of other pedagogical specialties. Reliable differences were found between the indicators of orthostatic reactions of students of the Faculty of Arts and the faculty where future sports coaches are trained. Orthostatic regulation is significantly better in students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports. Conclusions. It is necessary to adjust the program of physical education of students of creative specialties to increase the interest of students and to match physical exercises to the features of the nervous system of students of the Faculty of Arts. Future teachers of creative specialties can be recommended to engage in any kind of sport or motor activity, but the most suitable for them are exercises that require the development of endurance in combination with the inclusion of cognitive processes and concentration: walks with observation of nature and the city, exercises performed to music, exercises with a concentration on various natural images, etc.
