Meaning of “We call an individual disciplined when he is…”
Discipline is framed as developed self-regulation: the learner becomes capable of governing conduct appropriately rather than depending entirely on external restraint.
Where does it come from?
The Montessori Method, “Discipline,” Anne E. George translation. Montessori calls this “active discipline” and contrasts it with older coercion to immobility; terminology reflects the educational theory of her period.
