Available from: SAGE Journals

Abstract/Notes: This article introduces some of the theoretical principles that inform the use of play in the treatment of children with disabilities. A number of competing definitions of play and its functions are briefly discussed. Both educationalists and child psychotherapists make claims for the value of play but tend to offer quite different explanations of why it helps vulnerable children, whilst animal ethologists stress the role of play in promoting survival and adaptation. Some of the key ideas of historically important play theorists, including Freud, Klein, Winnicott, Froebel, Montessori and Piaget, are mentioned.

Abstract/Notes: W artykule opisano wyniki badań dotyczących rozumienia pojęcia „miłość” przez dzieci uczęszczające do szkół pracujących w oparciu o system tradycyjny oraz alternatywny – M. Montessori. Badania zostały przeprowadzone w 2018 r. w grupie 80 dzieci w wieku 6–9 lat. Wyniki zostały zebrane na podstawie analizy wytworu plastycznego, przedstawiającego wyobrażenie miłości (rysunek wykonany dowolną techniką), oraz wypowiadanych przez dziecko skojarzeń ze słowem miłość. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych analiz zauważono większą różnorodność interpretowania miłości wśród dzieci uczących się w oparciu o system alternatywny, jakim jest pedagogika Montessori. / The article presents the results of the research of understanding of the concept of “love” by children attending to schools based on traditional and M. Montessori’s alternative system. The research was conducted in 2018 on a group of 80 children (aged 6–9). The results were collected on the basis of the analysis of their artistic products, presenting an image of love (drawings with the use of various techniques) and associations expressed by the child with the word love. According to the analyses, a greater variety of interpretations of love among children learning on the basis of an alternative system, i.e. the pedagogy of Montessori, has been noticed.

Abstract/Notes: At the turn of the twentieth century, in the context of the budding nation-state formation process throughout Latin America, liberalism, nationalism, and social reforms dominated Latin American intellectual political discourse in its relentless quest for modernity. Popular literacy movements and the expansion and centralization of the educational sphere, which was essential for cultivating national identities and reinforcing allegiance, proliferated throughout Latin America. In Costa Rica, the Olympians, a group of elite intellectuals intricately connected with the agro-export oligarchy, directed social and political reforms. The Olympians were overwhelmingly patriotic and patriarchal, and aimed to create a national culture that would reinforce existing economic, gender, and racial hierarchies. This project focuses on revolutionary feminists Carmen Lyra and Luisa González, who negotiated the cultural politics of education as intermediaries between students and the state through the publication of children’s periodicals. Specifically, this project analyzes the periodicals San Selerín (1912-1913, 1923-1924) and Triquitraque (1936-1947) to elucidate the ways in which these educators used children’s literature and Montessorian pedagogy to create a culture of inclusion and engagement rather than the patriotic and patriarchal pedagogy the Olympians. Contemporary memory has forgotten the revolutionary ideals of these educators, but this project affirms Carmen Lyra and Luisa González cannot be separated from their legacies as active members of the Costa Rican Communist Party, as fervent proletarian internationalists, and as revolutionary feminists. To do so would be to neutralize the potency of their memory.
