Summary/Abstract: The Montessori system puts a special emphasis to development materials – which enable the child’s internal energy to rise, to the principles of constructing the environment as well as to the teacher’s personality and his values. The presented study attempts to answer the question about how is one of the most important elements of Montessori pedagogy, i.e. prearranged environment, perceived by Polish teachers living in Subcarpathian Province. By referring to her own research results, the author shows how teachers use Italian researcher’s assumptions and she also outlines Polish educators’ concerns often arising from ignorance of the most detailed solutions typical for the system.
