Abstract/Notes: Montessori-based interventions (MBIs) have potential to improve the life quality of long-term care residents with dementia. In this study, we aimed to understand the processes by which staff integrated a volunteer-led MBI into practice within a special dementia care unit, and to explore staff members ’ perceptions of associated strengths and limitations.This study relied on a qualitative descriptive design. Following a 3-month period of volunteer involvement, we conducted 21 interviews with staff members to document perceptions of the new program and subjected interview transcripts to qualitative content analysis, guided by normalization process theory.During the implementation of the volunteer-led MBI, staff members developed a shared understanding of the intervention, a sense of commitment, practical ways to support the intervention, and opinions about the value of the residents. Overall, we found that the volunteer-led MBI was quickly and successfully integrated into practice and was perceived to support both residents and staff members in meaningful ways. Nevertheless, some limitations were also identified.Volunteer-delivered MBIs are a useful adjunct to practice within a special dementia care unit. This article raises attention to some strengths and limitations associated with this approach.

Abstract/Notes: Discusses cornerstone of Montessori theory, normalization, which asserts that if a child is placed in an optimum prepared environment where inner impulses match external opportunities, the undeviated self emerges, a being totally in harmony with its surroundings. Makes distinctions regarding normalization, normalized, and normality, indicating how normalization theory is at the root of inner discipline and self-realization. (EV)

Abstract/Notes: Alyssa Conklin-Moore discusses normalization in the child under three from several perspectives. She takes an extensive look at the child, including orienting parents to the Montessori environment, the child's entrance into the environment, addressing the sensitive periods, and fostering independence, contribution, and community. She reminds the guide of aspects to constantly keep in mind when considering the environment, including the outdoor environment. Importantly, she reminds the practitioner to constantly self-reflect. From start to finish, she offers practical tools that are deeply rooted in a strong Montessori philosophy. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA conference titled Finding the Hook: Montessori Strategies to Support Concentration, October 6-9, 2016, in Columbia, MD.]

An Understanding of Montessori's "Normalization" Based on the Concept of "Order" / 몬테소리의 “정상화” 개념의 이해“질서”를 중심으로

Abstract/Notes: This paper is an attempt at schematization of Montessori's "normalization" which she herself callled "the most important single result of our whole work." But it is different from most previous analyses of normalization in that it goes deeper than the common understanding of normalization as "work"; instead, it tries to understand the concept as meaningful "ordering" of world. Montessori's other important concepts such as "work," "concentration," "repetition," and "deviation," are organically related to the concept of "order." Montessori's theory of education could be recognized as a general theory of education, not just a theory of early childhood education, normalization being an ideal of life for the young or the matured, as well as being a stepping stone of child development.
