Three Streams in Alternative Education: A Philosophical, Pedagogical, and Practical Comparison Between Democratic, Waldorf, and Montessori Education

Available from: European Journal of Alternative Education Studies

Publication: European Journal of Alternative Education Studies, vol. 6, no. 1

See More

Abstract/Notes: This article examines the three most prominent movements of alternative education in Israel: Democratic education, Waldorf education, and the Montessori method of education. By comparing the educational approaches according to specific criteria, the goal is to provide the reader with as broad a picture as possible of their similarities and differences. The discussion focuses on the philosophical approach and general principles of each movement and does not aim to provide information or characteristics of specific educational institutions. One of the goals of the article is to bring before parents, educators, and policy makers knowledge of the different approaches so that they can understand and judge them with greater clarity.

Student Adjustment to Higher Education: The Role of Alternative Educational Pathways in Coping with the Demands of Student Life

Available from: Springer Link

Publication: Higher Education, vol. 59, no. 3

Pages: 353-366

See More

Abstract/Notes: The present longitudinal study measured student adjustment to higher education, comparing 50 participants from alternative schools (Steiner, Montessori, New Schools) with 80 students from the traditional school system. We hypothesized that students from alternative schools adapt better, because of greater perceived social support, academic self-efficacy, and task-oriented coping styles. Measures were taken during the last school year (baseline characteristics), and at the beginning of the first and last terms of the first year in higher education. The quality of adjustment was assessed through academic results, and physical and psychological well-being. The following instruments were used: the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory by Spielberger (1983), the 13-items Depression Inventory by Beck et al. (1961), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations by Endler and Parker (1990), and semi-directed interviews. Results show that students from alternative schools adjust better to higher education: they report less anxiety and depression symptoms, and show greater life satisfaction and academic achievement.

Upotreba faktorske analize u ispitivanju poželjnosti alternativnih odgojnih koncepata [The use of factor analysis in examining the desirability of alternative educational concepts]

Available from: Hrčak - Portal of Croatian scientific and professional journals

Publication: Pedagogijska istraživanja, vol. 2, no. 2

Pages: 299-312

Abstract/Notes: Ovaj, u osnovi metodološki rad, bavi se demonstracijom upotrebe faktorske analize u ispitivanju poželjnosti alternativnih odgojnih koncepata kod studentske populacije Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Istraživanje je provedeno na slučajnom, reprezentativnom i stratificiranom uzorku (N=360). Skala poželjnosti osnovnih pedagoških koncepata sastojala se od 29 čestica vezanih uz tradicionalni odgojni koncept i alternativne pedagoške koncepate: Waldorf, Montessori i Summerhill. Primjenom faktorske analize pod komponentnim modelom uz GK kriterij za zaustavljanje ekstrakcije faktora i uz provedbu purifikacije faktorske solucije dobivene su tri latentne dimenzije: 1. NEPRIHVAĆENOST SUMMERHILLSKOG KONCEPTA, 2. TRADICIONALNI ODGOJ i 3. ODGOJ UTEMELJEN NA SAMOSTALNOSTI, IGRI I ZADOVOLJSTVU SPOZNAJOM. Prva dva faktora karakterizira neprihvaćanje summerhillskog i tradicionalnog koncepta, dok je treći faktor kombinacija ideja dviju škola— waldorfske i Montessori. Nalazi ukazuju na prihvaćanje općih pedagoških načela, ali ne i predloženih načina realizacije. Ispitanici su također neskloni pedagoškom radikalizmu. Stoga zaključujemo da su poželjne one pedagoške koncepcije koje ispitanicima ostavljaju mogućnost vlastite intervencije u primarnu i sekundarnu socijalizaciju. Metodološka strana rada pokazala je da poštivanje i primjena osnovnih metodoloških pretpostavki uspješno uklanja „višak” varijabli iz interpretacije, što interpretaciju čini transparentnom, a konceptualne pretpostavke plauzibilnima. Stoga valja zaključiti da faktorska analiza nije sama po sebi primjerena podacima, već da ovisi o njihovoj strukturi pa ju u većoj ili manjoj mjeri moramo prilagoditi podacima.
