Abstract/Notes: In contrast to intellectual giftedness reflected in high academic performance and often measured by IQ tests, there is growing recognition that other forms of giftedness exist. This paper focuses on creative giftedness, defined as high potential to produce work that is original and context appropriate. After a brief introduction to the psychological basis of creative giftedness, the role of school context in the development of creative potential is highlighted. Then an empirical study suggesting that creative potential is influenced by educational context is presented; pupils attending traditional and Montessori schools in France were compared on a set of creativity tasks in both the graphic and verbal domains. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were conducted as children were seen at two measurement occasions, with approximately one year delay. Results indicated greater scores on measures of creative potential for children in the Montessori context. The discussion situates the results in a broader context of issues concerning the development of creative giftedness through education.

Abstract/Notes: Psikolojik dayanıklılık zorluklarla karşılaşan bireylerin mücadele etmesi ve bu mücadeleyi sürdürebilmesi adına önem taşımaktadır. Psikolojik dayanıklılığı yüksek olan bireyler karşılaştıkları zorluklardan kendilerine yarar sağlayabilen bireylerdir. Psikolojik dayanıklılık geliştirilebilen bir kişilik özelliğidir. Maria Montessori “Çocuğu çalıştım. Çocuğun bana verdiklerini aldım ve onları ifade ettim. İşte Montessori yöntemi budur.” cümlesi ile kendi adını verdiği yöntemini açıklamaktadır. Kendine has bir eğitim yaklaşımı olan Montessori felsefesi ile eğitim, çocuğu kendi kendine yetebilen bir birey olabilmesi için destekler. Bu araştırmada Montessori felsefesiyle eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılığı incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada 24- 72 ay arasında 20 öğrenci gözlenmiş olup, psikolojik dayanıklılığı oluşturan etmenler incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Montessori felsefesi ile eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılıkları; girişkenlik- özgüven, yardım alabilme, öz-düzenleme, akran ilişkileri, sosyal yeterlilik, bağlanma, mutluluk, duygu kontrolü, doyum erteleyebilme ve problem çözme becerileri başlıkları altında incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda Montessori felsefesiyle eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ek olarak Montessori felsefesinin, çocukların kendi kararlarını verebilen, bu kararların sorumluluğunu alabilen, çalışma özgürlüğüne sahip, kendine yetebilen ve kendini ifade edebilen bireyler olmasına katkı sağladığı gözlenmiştir. / Psychological resilience is important for individuals who face difficulties and sustain struggle in their lives. Individuals with high psychological resilience are those who can benefit from the difficulties they face. Psychological resilience is a personality trait that can be developed. Maria Montessori describes the method which has its name from her as “I have studied the child; I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it, and that is what is called the Montessori Method” Montessori philosophy, which is a unique educational approach, supports the child to become a selfsufficient individual. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of Montessori education philosophy on psychological resilience. This study was carried out by observing 20 students between 24-72 months and the factors that make up psychological resilience were examined. In this context, the psychological resilience of children who are educated with Montessori philosophy were discussed under these headings: assertiveness-selfconfidence, getting help, self-regulation, peer relationships, social competence, attachment, happiness, emotion control, satisfaction deferment and problem solving skills. As a result of the research, it was observed that children who were educated with Montessori philosophy had higher psychological resilience. In addition, it was observed that Montessori philosophy contributes to children being individuals who can make their own decisions, take responsibility for these decisions, have the freedom to work, are self-sufficient and can express themselves.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter will look at the purpose of education in the context of Indonesia’s past and present. I will draw on the philosophy of Ki Hajar Dewantara (1889–1959), who is regarded as the father of Indonesian education. In conceptualising education, he was influenced by his upbringing, local culture, and international influences from various educators and philosophers such as Rabindranath Tagore, Maria Montessori, and Friedrich Fröbel. This chapter is particularly timely because the Indonesian government has started to critically re-examine two of the educational concepts proposed by Dewantara, which are “pendidikan karakter” (character education) and “merdeka belajar” (independent learning). The chapter will start with a discussion on the purpose of education before introducing Dewantara and his background. I will then offer two comparisons; First, between Dewantara’s purpose of education and the aims of Dutch schools during the colonial period in Indonesia, highlighting the importance of imparting local wisdom and values in Dewantara’s school which were ignored by the colonial schools. Second, between Dewantara’s purpose of education and the current government’s policies. By doing so, I will highlight the different purposes articulated for education in various contexts, from the colonial era to present-day Indonesia. The conclusion of this chapter is that there have been profound changes to the very purpose of education in Indonesia. Nevertheless, Dewantara’s philosophy is still very much relevant today and thus, the Indonesian government should revisit its conceptualisation of the foundations of education. Dewantara’s thought is also likely to see increased interest in other countries due to a growing global demand for awareness of non-Western educational philosophies.
