Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to explore and reveal the process behind how teachers that administer standards-based tests implement instructional practices in the classroom according to the accountability measures of NCLB. The study revealed how teachers in two different school settings prepared their students for the yearly standardized test. In addition, perspectives from administrators and teachers in a Montessori public school and a traditional school setting was included to explain how teacher attitudes toward NCLB are involved in the test preparation process and how specific instructional practices affect student achievement. This research study was conducted using qualitative and quantitative research methods which discovered many similarities and differences between the two teaching and learning environments. The goals of the study were to determine (a) whether there was a significant difference between the Montessori public school teachers and the traditional public school teachers in terms of their perceptions of daily instructional practices, and (b) the significant difference between the Montessori school teachers and the traditional public school teachers in terms of their perceptions toward standardized tests as required by the NCLB law. The primary methods used in the study included a survey and face-to-face interviews with administrators and teachers’ in Grades 3–8. Findings from the study showed that both groups of teachers implemented many of the same instructional practices, but in different ways and from different perspectives as shared by the voices of the teachers throughout the study. Teachers made it a goal to prepare students for standardized testing according to the state requirements. In both learning environments students exhibited success on standardized test. At the administrative level the findings lead to the conclusion that the administrators at both sites support the review and use of data from school-wide assessments and state exams to help their students achieve on standardized testing and their teachers are fully supported by the administration during testing. However, it was evident that the way in which the two schools approached testing was different.

Abstract/Notes: Ovaj, u osnovi metodološki rad, bavi se demonstracijom upotrebe faktorske analize u ispitivanju poželjnosti alternativnih odgojnih koncepata kod studentske populacije Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Istraživanje je provedeno na slučajnom, reprezentativnom i stratificiranom uzorku (N=360). Skala poželjnosti osnovnih pedagoških koncepata sastojala se od 29 čestica vezanih uz tradicionalni odgojni koncept i alternativne pedagoške koncepate: Waldorf, Montessori i Summerhill. Primjenom faktorske analize pod komponentnim modelom uz GK kriterij za zaustavljanje ekstrakcije faktora i uz provedbu purifikacije faktorske solucije dobivene su tri latentne dimenzije: 1. NEPRIHVAĆENOST SUMMERHILLSKOG KONCEPTA, 2. TRADICIONALNI ODGOJ i 3. ODGOJ UTEMELJEN NA SAMOSTALNOSTI, IGRI I ZADOVOLJSTVU SPOZNAJOM. Prva dva faktora karakterizira neprihvaćanje summerhillskog i tradicionalnog koncepta, dok je treći faktor kombinacija ideja dviju škola— waldorfske i Montessori. Nalazi ukazuju na prihvaćanje općih pedagoških načela, ali ne i predloženih načina realizacije. Ispitanici su također neskloni pedagoškom radikalizmu. Stoga zaključujemo da su poželjne one pedagoške koncepcije koje ispitanicima ostavljaju mogućnost vlastite intervencije u primarnu i sekundarnu socijalizaciju. Metodološka strana rada pokazala je da poštivanje i primjena osnovnih metodoloških pretpostavki uspješno uklanja „višak” varijabli iz interpretacije, što interpretaciju čini transparentnom, a konceptualne pretpostavke plauzibilnima. Stoga valja zaključiti da faktorska analiza nije sama po sebi primjerena podacima, već da ovisi o njihovoj strukturi pa ju u većoj ili manjoj mjeri moramo prilagoditi podacima.

Abstract/Notes: The article deals with the educational ideas the famous Italian doctor and educator Maria Montessori, her many-sided personality, some aspects of the life, activities and methods highlighted on the pages of foreign periodicals. The relevance of the pedagogue’s ideas in the modern world has been stressed; the demand of the modern society for the education of a free individual, striving for independent active searches and self-realization, has been emphasized. The article reveals the personality of M. Montessori as one of the educators who was able to pose and solve a global problem in philosophical, psychological and pedagogical theory, as well as to implement her concept in practice, creating a pedagogical system named as «Montessori method». M. Montessori; as an educator who gave a new quality to the education development strategy, humanizing it, returning it to the person. The analysis of M. Montessori’s pedagogical activities, positions, views and her life paths, highlighted by foreign researches, have been presented in the article; her role as an architect of the «rediscovery» of the child has been stressed. The educator’s revolutionary ideas about childhood and education for life, rather than education based on obedience and immobility, have been noted as well as their development as a result of M. Montessori’s medical research has been admitted; her new visions of the school by designing strategies that would overcame the barriers to education, have been mentioned. The article also stresses the educator’s desire to show how to save humanity by means of pedagogy: starting with the child and human freedom and, in particular, freedom for women. / У статті розглядаються просвітницькі ідеї відомої італійської лікарки та педагогині Марії Монтессорі, її багатогранна особистість, окремі сторони життя, діяльності, методики, цінності, світоглядні орієнтири та принципи, висвітлені дослідниками на сторінках зарубіжних періодичних видань. Підкреслено актуальність ідей італійської педагогині в сучасному світі; зауважено запит сучасного суспільства на виховання вільної особистості, що прагне до самостійного активного пошуку, зростання та самореалізації. У статті розкривається особистість М. Монтессорі як однієї з педагогинь, яка зуміла поставити і вирішити глобальну проблему у філософській та психолого-педагогічній теоріях, а також змогла реалізувати її концепцію на практиці, створивши педагогічну систему під назвою «Метод Монтессорі». М. Момтессорі розкривається у статті як освітня діячка, яка надала стратегії розвитку освіти нової якості –гуманізувавши її та повернувши її людині. У статті подано думки зарубіжних дослідників стосовно педагогічної діяльності, позицій, поглядів та життєвих шляхів М. Монтессорі, висвітлених на сторінках зарубіжних періодичних видань; підкреслюється її роль як архітектора «повторного відкриття»дитини. Відзначено революційні ідеї педагогині стосовно дитинства та виховання на все життя, а не виховання на основі слухняності та нерухомості, а також визнання їх розвитку у результаті медичних досліджень М. Монтессорі. Згадано коментарі зарубіжних дослідників стосовно того, що протягом тривалого часу М. Монтессорі вважалася «проблемною»фігурою в італійському академічному та політичному істеблішменті, «будучи нонконформісткою, феміністкою та «складним педагогом»«; зауважено і підкреслено її нове бачення школи шляхом розробки стратегій задля подолання бар’єрів в освіті. У статті також наголошується на прагненні педагогині показати, як засобами педагогіки врятувати людство: починаючи зі свободи дитини та свободи людини та, зокрема, свободи жінки.
