Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this Bachelor's thesis is to find out children's satisfaction with day care in montessori kindergarten Aurinkoleijona. This study is part of Verkonkutoja-project conducted at Turku University of Applied Sciences. The objective of this research is to create a patern to collect and process customers' feedback. It focuses on five to six years old children in Aurinkoleijona Salo Unit. ”Quality Game” adapted to the children's needs and abilities was used to collect the data. It contained 24 questions considering six themes related to day care: empathy, educational work, circumstances, reliability, responsiveness and assurance. The total of 11 children played the ”Quality Game for Children”: the test group of 3 children in Halikko Unit and 8 children in Salo Unit. The theoretical frame of reference for this thesis was defined in accordance with the quality of day care. It consisted of the facts collected from different sources. The quality of day care is comprised of the experiences of both clients – children and parents – and day care - workers. The quality of day care can be called intersubjective. According to the results, most of the children are satisfied with day care in montessori kindergarten Aurinkoleijona according to the results. Children are especially satisfied with the staff of Aurinkoleijona and its action. All the corresponders can depend on day care adults. Some of the children think that the adults do not have enough time for them. They also give criticism of the day care assignments. The present time and events has an influence on children's satisfaction. There are occasional events in the background of dissatisfaction. Concentration on the game and other children's opinions have an influence on the results. The results show that children are fond of day care theme days, but there is room for improvement. The results of the thesis and the ”Quality Game for Children” will be used in Verkonkutoja-project during next year. / Opinnäytetyöni tarkoituksena oli selvittää lasten tyytyväisyyttä päivähoitoon montessori-päiväkoti Aurinkoleijonassa. Työni on osa Turun ammattikorkeakoulun Verkonkutoja -hanketta, jossa kehitetään asiakaspalautteen keruu- ja käsittelymallia kunnille ja yrityksille. Kohderyhmänä oli Salon yksikön 5 – 6 -vuotiaat lapset. Aineistonkeruumenetelmänä käytin Stakesin Laatupeliä, josta olin muokannut lapsille oman version. Lasten laatupelissä lapsille esitettiin 24 kysymystä liittyen päivähoidon eri osa-alueisiin: empatia, kasvatustyö, olosuhteet, luotettavuus, vastaavuus ja varmuus. Lasten laatupeliä pelasi yhteensä 11 lasta: testipelissä 3 lasta Halikossa ja varsinaisessa pelissä 8 Salossa. Teoreettinen viitekehys työssäni oli päivähoidon laadun määrittely. Se koostui eri lähteistä keräämästäni tiedosta. Päivähoidon laatu muodostuu niin asiakkaiden – lasten ja vanhempien – kuin päivähoidon työntekijöidenkin kokemuksista. Päivähoidon laatua voidaankin kuvailla intersubjektiiviseksi. Tulosten mukaan suurin osa lapsista on tyytyväisiä päivähoitoon montessori-päiväkoti Aurinkoleijonassa. Erityisen tyytyväisiä lapset ovat henkilökuntaan ja sen toimintaan. Kaikki vastanneista kertoo luottavansa päiväkodin aikuisiin. Kritiikkiä herättää aikuisten ajankäyttö ja päiväkodin tehtävien tekeminen. Lasten tyytyväisyyteen vaikuttaa juuri käsillä oleva hetki. Varsinkin tyytymättömyyden taustalla on yksittäiset tapahtumat. Lisäksi peliin keskittyminen ja muiden lasten mielipiteet vaikuttavat tuloksiin. Tuloksista ilmenee, että lapset pitävät päiväkodin teemapäivistä, mutta niissä on kehittettävää. Opinnäytetyöni tuloksia ja Lasten laatupeliä käytetään Verkonkutoja-hankkeessa ensi vuoden aikana.

Abstract/Notes: Ensuring equitable access to high-quality early education for families from all racial, ethnic, and income backgrounds is a critical component for addressing systemic racism and inequality within the public education system. This study examined one piece of this issue by investigating access to public Montessori pre-K, as well as barriers that may hinder equitable access. While many public Montessori pre-K programs report that students are admitted through a random lottery process, initial efforts to study these programs indicated that certain enrollment policies may create barriers to access. Potential barriers to accessing public Montessori pre-K include lottery priority status for siblings, neighborhood residents, and children of staff; a lack of targeted recruitment practices for families from underserved communities; and affordability. These barriers to access may disproportionally affect Black and Latino families and families facing poverty, who have unequal access to high-quality educational opportunities overall. The Montessori model was originally created to give children with learning challenges (e.g., children who exhibited concentration, attention, and discipline challenges) a high-quality educational environment where they could thrive. Given the origins of the Montessori pedagogy and existing disparities within the educational system, questions of equity should be at the center of policy development for accessing public Montessori pre-K.

Abstract/Notes: The present research is based on Montessori pedagogical methodology. Created by Maria Montessori, this is a set of theories, practices and didactic materials. According to Montessori, the most important fact is not the material or the practice, but the possibility of developing the child's abilities from the evolution of each. From this, the proposal is the development of a children's furniture - a bed - from the study proposed by Montessori, considering characteristics of child development, children's furniture and ergonomics. The projects a product that contributes to the child developing in its ‘natural time’ with freedom and autonomy. / A presente pesquisa tem base na metodologia pedagógica montessoiana. Criada por Maria Montessori, trata-se de um conjunto de teorias, práticas e materiais didáticos. De acordo com Montessori, o fato mais importante não é o material ou a prática, mas a possibilidade do desenvolvimento das habilidades da criança a partir da evolução de cada um. A partir disso, a proposta é o desenvolvimento de um mobiliário infantil – uma cama – a partir do estudo proposto por Montessori, considerando características do desenvolvimento infantil, mobiliário infantil e ergonomia. O projeto é de um produto que contribua para que a criança se desenvolva em seu “tempo natural” com liberdade e autonomia.

Abstract/Notes: Part of the data on this work relies on a doctoral research. The study aimed to problematize about Science Teaching in a Waldorf school, Montessori school and Escola da Ponte, having as guiding aspects the organization of spaces, knowledge and evaluation methods of each analyzed school. As a theoretical reference, we adopted the assumptions of differentiated pedagogy and simultaneously, the field of the curriculum. Methodologically, the article points as sources of research to three directions: a theoretical and systematic review in the light of the fields of science teaching and the field of the curriculum; documentary research around the websites of schools that are pedagogically oriented from the pedagogies under discussion; and finally, field journal data based on differentiated pedagogy observations in three schools. The results showed other ways of organizing spaces, different ways of evaluating and approaching school content, more specifically in the scope of Science Teaching. Finally, the work allows a reflection and awareness about the traditional teaching that still constitutes in the great majority in schools. / Este trabalho tem parte dos dados ancorados em uma pesquisa de doutorado. O estudo teve como objetivo problematizar sobre o Ensino de Ciências em uma escola Waldorf, uma escola Montessori e a Escola da Ponte, tendo como aspectos norteadores a organização dos espaços, saberes e métodos de avaliação de cada escola analisada. Como referencial teórico, adotamos os pressupostos da pedagogia diferenciada e, concomitantemente, do campo do currículo. Metodologicamente, o artigo toma como fontes de pesquisa, três caminhos: uma revisão teórica e sistematizada à luz dos campos do ensino de ciências e do campo do Currículo; pesquisa documental em torno dos sites de escolas que se orientam pedagogicamente a partir das pedagogias em discussão; e, por último, dados de diários de campo a partir de observações em três escolas sendo que cada uma delas se fundamenta numa das pedagogias diferenciadas apresentadas. Os resultados mostraram outras formas de organização dos espaços, formas diferenciadas de avaliação e abordagem dos conteúdos escolares, mais especificamente no âmbito do Ensino de Ciências. Por fim, o trabalho permite uma reflexão e conscientização acerca do tradicional ensino que ainda se constitui em grande maioria nas escolas.

Abstract/Notes: O presente trabalho busca a identificação de táticas e estratégias empregadas no processo de implantação do método montessori-lubienska no Colégio Sion de Curitiba, entre 1956 e 1959. A construção desta narrativa historiográfica apresenta como eixo teórico articulador o historiador francês Michel de Certeau, com seus conceitos de lugar, de estratégia e de tática, a partir do entrecruzar de fontes de tipologia diversa coletadas nos arquivos do Colégio e em instâncias externas; e do diálogo com publicações acadêmicas que abordam os temas e o contexto, no âmbito nacional e paranaense. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam que sob atmosfera marcada no Paraná por iniciativas anteriores relacionadas ao método Montessori, a opção e as iniciativas católicas pelo método montessori-lubienska como saída para o embate entre católicos e renovadores, aliadas à formação que Soeur Maria Cristina recebera de Lubienska na França, permitiram que as irmãs de Curitiba por meio de golpes de astúcia organizassem táticas para garantir o método montessori-lubienska como estratégia a partir do Colégio Sion. [The present dissertation seeks to identify tactics and strategies used in the process of implementing the montessori-lubienska method at Colégio Sion in Curitiba, between 1956 and 1959. The construction of this historiographic narrative presents the french theoretical Michel de Certeau as an articulating theoretical axis, with its concepts of place, strategy and tactics, from the intersection of sources of different types collected in the archives of the College and in external instances; and dialogue with academic publications that address the themes and the context, at the Brasil and state of Paraná. The research results show that under an atmosphere marked in Paraná by previous initiatives related to the Montessori method, the Catholic option and initiatives by the montessori-lubienska method as a way out of the clash between Catholics and renovators, combined with the training that Soeur Maria Cristina had received from Lubienska in France, they allowed the sisters of Curitiba by means of cunning strokes to organize tactics to guarantee the montessori-lubienska method as a strategy from Colégio Sion.]
