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.

Abstract/Notes: This research examines integrated drama curriculum for first-grade students taught by a drama specialist and a first-grade classroom teacher during a 6-week drama program at a private school in the Midwestern United States. Specifically, how drama is integrated with math, what unique knowledge and content of drama are delivered, and what roles drama serves in an integrated program are explored through a qualitative case study. During the drama sessions students` kinesthetic exploration and representation, re-creation of the story, and on-stage performance enabled them to reinforce math learning as well as experience art forms of drama. Adopting their learning of basic knowledge and skills of drama performance, the students used their body for communication and elaboration of their ideas with creativity. Based on the findings, important contributions to a successful integration are suggested. / 본 연구는 미국 중서부 지역의 한 사립학교에서 이루어진 6주간의 드라마 프로그램에서 드라마 특별교사와 담임교사가 초등학교 일학년 학생들에게 가르치는 통합 드라마 교육과정을 살펴보았다. 구체적으로, 드라마가 수학과 어떻게 통합되는지, 드라마의 어떤 지식과 내용이 가르쳐지는지, 또한 드라마가 통합 프로그램에서 어떠한 역할을 수행하는지를 질적 사례 연구를 통해 살펴보았다. 드라마 수업 동안, 아동들은 신체운동 탐색과 표상, 이야기의 재구성, 공연하기를 통해 드라마에서의 기본 지식과 기술들을 배웠으며 수학 학습을 강화하였다. 자신들의 신체를 이용하여 수학 내용에 대해 비언어적으로 표현하는 경험을 다양한 방법으로 체험하였으며, 수학 문제가 포함된 이야기를 토론을 통해 재구성하였다. 이렇게 재구성한 이야기를 공연하는 동안 아동들은 드라마에 관한 기초 지식과 기술들을 적용시켰으며, 상상력을 이용해 자신의 아이디어를 정교화 하였다. 결론에서는 연구 결과에 기초하여 성공적인 통합교육과정에 필요한 요소들이 논의되었다.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori’s works discussed in this chapter are, Education for a New World (1946), To Educate the Human Potential (1948), and The Formation of Man (1955). Like many of her texts, these publications are based on transcriptions of lectures held in various settings including teacher training courses. These three books were written during and after the tragic disruptions caused by WWII and were published first in India. They are among Montessori's last texts in which she highlights cosmic education and expresses her conviction of the need for a global reconstruction that must necessarily begin with childhood.

Abstract/Notes: This section includes a selection of Maria Montessori’s key writings that reflect the broad range of her body of work and that represent ideas that are fundamental for Montessori education today. Her writings are multifaceted and sometimes challenging for today’s readers because they contain philosophical expositions, almost arcane vocabulary, and even references to biblical texts. In this section, the chapter sequence is generally organized by year of first publication to follow the evolution of Montessori’s scholarly work.
