Abstract

This multiple case study examined the construction of “regimes of truth” through children’s literature in Montessori classrooms from a Foucauldian perspective. We explored the dynamic interplay between educational practices and the shaping of children’s perceptions, demonstrating the profound impact of anti-bias narratives on early childhood education.
