Abstract/Notes: The emerging knowledge societies will – besides many other dramatic changes – see a teaching revolution. This paper seeks to propose quality standards for this new type of teaching. The paper argues that Peter Drucker experienced much of what he later came to call the principles of self management and effective knowledge work as a boy aged nine or ten at the Schwarzwald School – an utterly exceptional, progressive elementary school in Vienna. Given these astonishing similarities, this school's avant‐garde approach to teaching might just provide some insights into what effective teaching for a future knowledge society should be like. The paper is based to a large extent on accounts by and about the almost forgotten school's owner‐manager Eugenie Schwarzwald, some of which were made available only recently in the course of several biographical research projects dealing with this revolutionary pedagogue and social entrepreneur. Firstly, the paper identifies similarities between the teaching practice at Eugenie Schwarzwald's schools, her approach to leadership on the one hand, and Drucker's principles of effective management and knowledge work on the other. Secondly, it concludes that in a knowledge society both effective management and teaching need to be extensively individualised services – much more than in an industrial mass society. Combined, Schwarzwald's practice and Drucker's teachings challenge some seemingly up‐to‐date practices in both higher education and corporate personnel development, and helps in understanding what actually produces effective personal learning for the rapidly changing knowledge economies of the twenty‐first century. The paper introduces selective aspects of progressive education to the field of management.

Abstract/Notes: This paper focuses on the application of knowledge based systems for child performance analysis in an online Montessori module. Using knowledge based techniques, the system generates an automatic analysis based on the teacher's answers to a variety of questions about a child's performance of a specific Montessori activity. The questions were created through a study of the criteria used to assess the level of a child's performance and achievement. This prototype is designed as a proof-of-concept, to show how the knowledge base technique could be applied. To design the prototype, we conducted literature reviews on the delivery of Montessori methods and the knowledge base technique, and compared rule -based and case -based reasoning. We selected rule-based reasoning for the concept prototype since it is suitable for Montessori activities which are well defined and easy to acquire.

Abstract/Notes: In this research, the effectiveness of Montessori Method in acquiring color and texture knowledge of pre-school children has been examined. The dependent variable of this study is the color and texture knowledge of the children, the independent variable is Montessori Method. The study is planned both quantitative and qualitative, and experimental as well. 40 students are included in study group as experiment and control group.The experiment group consisted of 20 children aged between 4-5 years, who were trained in Montessori Method in Konya Selçuk University Health Sciences Faculty İhsan Doğramacı Practice Kindergarden in 2016-2017 academic year and selected by neutral assignment. The control group consisted of 20 children aged 4-5 years who were educated in Meram Gündoğdu Private Kindergarden School by the Ministery of Education’s pre-school education program. In the study, the “Color and Texture Knowledge Assessment Test” was used, which was prepared by the researcher of this paper and approved by an expert. These tests are applied as pre-test, post-test and tracking test. In the analysis of the data, Mann Whitney U Test and Wilcoxon Marked Ranks Test were applied. Results; ● There is no significant difference between the color knowledge pre-test rank averages of the experiment and control groups (p>0.05). ● There is no significant difference between the experiment and control group’s texture knowledge pre-test rank averages. (p>0.05). ● The color knowledge of the experiment group’s post-test rank averages are notably higher than the pre-test rank averages [Z=3.55; p< 0.05]. ● The texture knowledge of the experiment group’s post-test rank averages are notably higher than the pre-test rank averages. (Z=3.83,p<0.05). ● Although there is no notable difference between the post-test rank averages of both the experiment and the control groups, the experiment group’s color information is higher (p˃0.05). ● The texture information of the experiment group’s post-test rank averages are notably higher than the control group (p<0.05). ● There is no reasonable difference between the experiment group’s color information post-test and the tracking test rank averages (Z=0.27, p>0.05). ● There is no reasonable difference between the experiment group’s texture information post test and the tracking test rank averages (Z=0.24, p>0.05). The general conclusion is that the Montessori Method contributes positively to the acquisition of color and texture knowledge of preschool children and it is more effective than the Pre-School Education Program of the Ministry of Education / Bu araştırmada, Montessori Yöntemi’nin okul öncesi çocuklarının renk ve doku bilgilerini edinmelerine etkililiği incelenmiştir.

Abstract/Notes: Kathleen Allen's reverence for the stories of women naturalists spanning from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries, and their parallel scientific interest in the documentation of life cycles through art and narratives, gives support to the child in history and nature that is so central to Montessori formal research and discipline. The parade of nearly a dozen short bios, from Beatrix Potter to Rachel Carson, frames not only a fresh outlook on science but also brings a soft feminist philosophical outlook while highlighting Montessori's connections to the natural world.This chapter is based on a talk presented at the NAMTA conference titled "Montessori History: Searching for Evolutionary Scientific Truth" in Cleveland, Ohio, April 20--22, 2018.

Abstract/Notes: This study aims to examine relationship between early childhood pre-service teachers' early childhood mathematical content knowledge and mathematics teaching efficacy. This study's subjects are 73 early childhood pre-service teachers from two four-year universities, A and B, situated in Daejeon Metropolitan City. Their mathematical content knowledge and mathematics teaching efficacy were analysed using a concept map and a questionnaire, respectively. The results are as follows. First, there was static correlation between early childhood pre-service teachers' early childhood mathematical content knowledge and mathematics teaching efficacy. Second, relationship between early childhood pre-service teachers' early childhood mathematical content knowledge and outcome expectation was not statistically significant. Third, there was static correlation between early childhood pre-service teachers' early childhood mathematical content knowledge and efficacy expectation. The above results mean that pre-service teachers' good learning of a specific subject's content knowledge leads to their excellent teaching, and therefore good learning of content knowledge is crucial. / 본 연구의 목적은 예비유아교사들의 유아수학교육내용 지식과 수학적 교수효능감과의 관계를 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구의 대상은 대전광역시에 위치한 4년제 A, B 대학 예비유아교사 73명이다. 유아수학내용지식은 개념도를 통해, 수학적 교수효능감은 질문지를 통해 분석하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 예비유아교사의 유아수학교육내용 지식과 수학적 교수효능감과는 정적인 상관이 있었다. 둘째, 예비유아교사의 유아수학교육내용 지식과 수학적 교수 효능감 중 결과기대 효능감과의 관계는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않았다. 셋째, 예비유아교사의 유아수학교육내용 지식과 수학 교수 능력신념 효능감과는 정적인 상관이 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 과목 내용지식을 잘 배우면 앞으로 잘 가르칠 수 있게 된다고 볼 수 있기 때문에 내용지식을 잘 배우는 것은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다.
