Abstract/Notes: Despite great changes in the level and type of early childhood services in Ireland over the last decade, relatively little research has been carried out on this topic. We know little about the types of services used, the reason for particular choices, the numbers of children attending different settings and the experiences such children are having. In an effort to broaden the research base and learn more about the lives of our young children the authors undertook to take part in an international comparative study investigating the early experiences of children—the IEA Preprimary Project. This article provides an account of the recent developments in early education in Ireland, addresses the question of quality in service provision and describes Ireland's participation in the research project. [En dépit des grands changements qui ont eu lieu depuis une dizaine d'années le niveau et type d'assistance offerte a la petite enfance, tres peu de recherche a été faite dans ce domaine. Nous savons très peu de choses sur les types de services utilisés, les raisons pour les choix qui sont faits, le nombre d'enfants répartis par groupes de niveaux ainsi que les experiences vécues par ces enfants. Dans le but d'élargir la base de la recherche et aussi d'étudier la vie de nos jeunes enfants, les auteurs se sont engages a participer a une etude comparative Internationale qui examine les premieres experiences de jeunes enfants dans le cadre du ‘IEA Preprimary Project’. Cet article expose les récents développements dans l'enseignement des jeunes enfants en Irlande. Il addresse aussi la question de la qualité des services fournis et décrit la participation de l'Irlande dans ce projet de recherche. / A pesar de grandes cambios en la calidad y tipo de servicios de primera infancia acontecidos en Irlanda en la ultima década, relativamente escasa investigation ha sido desarrollada en este tema. Sabemos poco de los tipos de servicios empleados, el motivo de determinadas elecciones, el número de ninos que acudieron a los diferentes entornos y las experiencias que tales ninos han tenido. En un esfuerzo por ampliar la base investigadora y aprender más sobre las vidas de nuestros pequeños, los autores decidieron indagar en las primeras experiencias de los niños, tomando parte en un estudio comparativo international — IEA Preprimary Project. Este artículo ofrece un informe sobre los útimos progresos en la cuestión de primera education en Irlanda se pronuncia on el tema de la calidad en las prestaciones de cara al futuro y describe la participación de Irlanda en el proyecto de investigación.]

American Writings on Maria Montessori: An Inquiry into Changes in the Reception and Interpretations Given to Writings on Maria Montessori and Montessori Educational Ideas 1910-1915 and 1958-1970

Available from: ProQuest - Dissertations and Theses

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this dissertation will be to survey and analyze American writings on Maria Montessori and her educational system, in order to show how the idea of Montessori education has interacted with some changing American ideas and social forces. These changes in social and intellectual currents can be likened to a shift from centrifugal to centripetal force; or to the expansion and then the contraction of a universe. The central metaphor is the same. It is applicable to, and illustrative of, much about the changing social and educational scene in America. The writings on Montessori, examined against this framework, should provide a new view on certain changes in American educational thinking.

Primary Thoughts: Implementing Kentucky's Primary Program

Available from: ERIC

See More

Abstract/Notes: In June 1990, the state of Kentucky passed its innovative Education Reform Act, which totally restructured the finance, governance, and curriculum of its public schools. One of the major provisions of the act was the mandate for Kentucky's primary schools to change from the traditional placement of children of the same age in kindergarten, first, second, and third grades to the placement of youngsters in multi-age, multi-ability classrooms. The resulting primary program recognizes that children grow and develop as a "whole," not one dimension at a time or at the same rate in each dimension. The instructional practices of the primary program address social, emotional, physical, aesthetic, and cognitive needs. The program flows naturally from preschool programs and exhibits developmentally appropriate practices. The philosophy of the primary program stresses a classroom climate that is non-competitive and encourages children to learn from one another as well as from the teachers. The

Abstract/Notes: La presente investigación de tipo mixto tuvo como objetivo determinar la actitud de las maestras de pre-primaria y primaria baja de un colegio privado con sedes en zona 15 de la ciudad de Guatemala y Carretera a El Salvador sobre la metodología Montessori. La población estuvo conformada por 30 maestras encargadas de grado, 4 guías Montessori y un experto en metodología Montessori. Se utilizó muestreo no probabilístico. Para este estudio se utilizaron tres instrumentos, en la parte cuantitativa se trabajó con un cuestionario anónimo para disponer de confiabilidad por parte de los sujetos y en la parte cualitativa se utilizaron dos entrevistas diferentes. Como segundo instrumento, la entrevista la contestaron cuatro guías Montessori y un tercer instrumento, una entrevista dirigida a un experto en metodología Montessori, enriqueciendo de esta forma los datos recabados con el cuestionario. Se concluyó que las maestras de preprimaria y primaria baja de ambas sedes manifiestan una actitud altamente positiva hacia la metodología Montessori. Una de las recomendaciones más importantes es que se sugiere a la institución educativa con el fin de mantener la actitud altamente positiva de las guías Montessori realizar capacitaciones continuas y que de esta forma puedan tener siempre presentes las bases de la metodología, de tal manera que las maestras apliquen el método convencidas de la efectividad del mismo.

Abstract/Notes: L’article retrace l’itinéraire de la philanthrope américaine Mary Cromwell et sa participation dès le début du XXe siècle à la promotion de la méthode Montessori en France, à des moments charnières qui favorisèrent l’éclosion de réformes éducatives empreintes de progressisme dans le contexte de la Première Guerre mondiale. Loin de l’image des jardins d’enfants montessoriens accueillant les enfants des familles aisées qui fleurissent dans l’entre-deux-guerres, les classes Montessori qu’elle met en place dans les œuvres de guerre au profit de petits réfugiés révèlent une dimension curative de la pédagogie Montessori. Forte de cette expérience, Mary Cromwell tentera d’implanter la pédagogie Montessori dans les classes maternelles de l’Institution publique de l’après-guerre. / This article traces the path of the American philanthropist Mary Cromwell and her participation in the promotion of the Montessori method in France from the beginning of the twentieth century, at pivotal moments that fostered the emergence of progressive educational reforms in the context of the First World War. Far from the image of the Montessori kindergartens for children from wealthy families that flourished between the two wars, the Montessori classes that she set up in war charities for the benefit of child refugees revealed a curative dimension of Montessori pedagogy. Based on this experience, Mary Cromwell then attempted to implement Montessori pedagogy in the kindergarten classes of the post-war public institutions.
