Abstract/Notes: The aim of this article is to synthesise the results of a qualitative study on Montessori early childhood education teachers in Poland regarding the concept of meanings given to instability, chaos and change in their professional everyday life. The research was conducted among a group of thirty-five women working in kindergartens and primary schools using an individual, qualitative, semi-structured research interview, transcribed and analysed according to the procedure of phenomenography. The analysis of the outcome space made it possible to identify and describe three categories: I) change and instability as unbearable stressors, II) far from change and instability as something that is far away, III) change and instability as natural conditions for individual and organisational learning. The first category is related to conceptions of meaning that thematise instability as, something that is permanently experienced and, at the same time, something that ideally should not be experienced. This instability is primarily associated with authoritarian management styles and paternalistic treatment of teachers by employers and/or parents of children. Within the second category are narratives illustrating working conditions away from change and instability provided by the strong personalities of head teachers and authoritarian management. The third category refers to change and instability as a natural condition of the world. From this perspective, not only are they not negative, but quite the opposite. Instability and change provide opportunities for learning and at both individual and organisational levels.

Abstract/Notes: Penelitian Tindakan kelas ini bertujuan untuk meningkatakan kemampuan menyelesaikan soal pembagian siswa yang masih rendah  dalam proses pembelajarnya matematika dikelas III SDN 025 Rambah Hilir. Berdasarkan pengamatan yang dilakukan penulis pada kelas III  rendahnya  kemampuan menyelesaikan soal pembagian, ditandai dengan belum terfokusnya siswa dengan kegiatan yang dilakukan dikelas. Adapun pelaksanaan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar anak melalui perbaikan pada siklus 1 dan siklus 2 dengan melakukan desain prosedur perbaikan, pengamatan, teknik analisis data serta melakukan refleksi diri untuk pendidik. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari peningkatan hasil belajar peserta didik dari  siklus 1 sampai ke siklus 2. Pada tahap  siklus 1 dari 16 orang peserta didik 8 orang mendapat nilai dibawah KKM dengan persentase 60% dan 4 orang mendapat nilai di atas KKM dengan persentase 40%. Hal ini dapat dilihat rata – rata siswa adalah 70 dikarenakan siswa mendapat nilai diatas KKM sudah melebihi dari 75 % yaitu 12 siswa dan yang mendapatkan nilai dibawah KKM sebanyak 4 siswa dengan presentase 25 %. Nilai tertinggi 80 dan nilai terendah 60 data Dari hasil pengamatan pendidik, menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan anak dalam menggunakan metode Montessori.

Abstract/Notes: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan metode montessori terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan siswa kelas I SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen (Pre-experimental design). Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian Onegroup Pretest-Posttest Design. Prosedur penelitian meliputi tahap persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan penyelesaian. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa tes dan observasi. Teknik analisis data berupa analisis statistik deskriptif dan inferensial uji-t (t-test). Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas I SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep sebanyak 28 orang yang terdiri dari 12 laki-laki dan 16 perempuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan metode Montessori berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan siswa kelas I SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep. Terbukti dengan hasil analisis statistik deskriptif yang menunjukkan hasil belajar siswa dengan menggunakan metode Montessori mengalami perubahan yang lebih baik daripada sebelum diterapkannya metode Montessori. Hasil analisis statistik inferensial menggunakan rumus uji t (t-test), diketahui bahwa nilai t Hitung yang diperoleh adalah 26,77 dengan frekuensi db = 28 - 1 = 27, pada taraf signifikansi 0,05 (5%) diperoleh t 0,05 = 2,05183. Jadi, t Hitung > t Tabel atau Hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak dan Hipotesis Alternatif (H1) diterima. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa ada pengaruh dalam penggunaan metode Montessori terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan siswa kelas 1 SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep. [This research aims to determine the effect of using the Montessori method on the beginning reading abilities of class I students at SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli, Pangkep Regency. This type of research is experimental research (Pre-experimental design). The approach used in this research is a quantitative approach with a Onegroup Pretest-Posttest Design research design. Research procedures include preparation, implementation and completion stages. Data collection techniques include tests and observations. The data analysis technique is in the form of descriptive statistical analysis and inferential t-test (t-test). The sample in this study was 28 class I students of SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli, Pangkep Regency, consisting of 12 men and 16 women. The results of the study showed that the use of the Montessori method had an effect on the beginning reading ability of class I students at SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli, Pangkep Regency. This is proven by the results of descriptive statistical analysis which shows that student learning outcomes using the Montessori method have changed for the better than before the implementation of the Montessori method. The results of inferential statistical analysis using the t test formula (t-test), it is known that the calculated t value obtained is 26.77 with a frequency of db = 28 - 1 = 27, at a significance level of 0.05 (5%) obtained t 0.05 = 2.05183. So, t Count > t Table or Null Hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (H1) is accepted. This proves that there is an influence in using the Montessori method on the beginning reading abilities of grade 1 students at SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli, Pangkep Regency.]

Abstract/Notes: On 6 May 2022, 70 years after Maria Montessori’s death, Stockholm University and the Department of Education and Didactics organized an international Montessori symposium. The idea was to present a breadth of research on Maria Montessori. The symposium dealt with Maria Montessori in the interwar period, an analysis of the history of ideas. Another presentation suggested possible research models to study this large field. The symposium also presented interpretations of Montessori’s writings that point her out as a visionary and pioneer in education for a sustainable world. An additional research area addressed was the potential of neuroscience to examine the effects of teaching theory and learning in Montessori education. Finally, this report describes a study on whether Montessori-inspired education compared to traditional education stands up in areas of socio-economic disadvantage.

Abstract/Notes: A practicum was designed to increase the expertise of primary teachers in the creation of developmentally appropriate reading/writing curriculum for the multi-age, multi-ability, primary classroom through literacy training staff development sessions. The system of literacy training was constructed over a period of eight months with 34 primary teachers from three elementary schools. Staff development training sessions on early literacy and authentic assessment using the running record were developed. Pre/post questionnaires, change assessment scales for administrators, a literacy plan of action for local schools, running record scripts for assessment training, literacy lessons, and developmentally appropriate curricula were administered or developed. Analysis of the data revealed that after the staff development training on early literacy and authentic assessment, the primary teachers were able to create a developmentally appropriate curriculum for reading and writing in the
