Abstract/Notes: With support from the Self Family Foundation and the South Carolina Education Oversight Committee, the Riley Institute has completed a multi-year study of Montessori education in South Carolina’s public schools, the most comprehensive evaluation of public Montessori ever conducted in the United States. Between 2011 and 2016, this mixed-method study examined how Montessori impacts stakeholders in South Carolina and provided information needed to guide future investment in Montessori education. Researchers investigated the following as parts of the study: the extent to which schools implemented Montessori with fidelity; the demographic makeup of public school Montessori students; the effect of Montessori education on academic and behavioral outcomes; the impact of Montessori education on creativity, social skills, work habits, and executive function; and Montessori teachers’ perspectives on job satisfaction and the challenges of Montessori in the public sector. The study results demonstrate that students in public school Montessori classrooms across the state are faring well, as compared to similar nonMontessori public school students, when examining academic, behavioral, and affective outcomes.

Abstract/Notes: Diplomová práce popisuje problematiku výuky výchovy k míru na Montessori škole, přičemţ komplexně charakterizuje pojem výchova k míru, mapuje obsah jejích lekcí a pomůcek, které tvoří připravené prostředí Montessori třídy. Zajímalo mě zařazení výchovy míru do Montessori kurikula a její důleţitá role ve vzdělání, jelikoţ Marie Montessori věřila, ţe mír začíná v dětech. Pro zpracování praktické části jsem si vybrala akční výzkum, který probíhal na Základní škole Duhovka v Praze v Oranţové třídě, kde působím jako třídní učitelka od září 2020. Výzkum probíhal ve věkově smíšené třídě (1.–3. ročník ZŠ). Zaměřovala jsem se zejména na vyzkoušení lekcí se třídou a tvorbu a vyuţití materiálů pro připravené prostředí Montessori třídy. V závěru zhodnotím přínos výchovy k míru pro třídní kolektiv a jeho dynamiku, dále zhodnotím lekce a napíšu doporučení pro učitele, kteří by si je chtěli odučit. / This diploma thesis describes the issue of teaching Peace Education in a Montessori School. It comprehensively characterises the concept of Peace Education, mapping the content of lessons and materials which form part of the prepared environment of a Montessori class. I was interested in the inclusion of Peace Education in the Montessori Curriculum because it has an important role in education as Marie Montessori believed that peace begins in children. For the elaboration of the practical part, I chose action research which took place in Orange Class at Duhovka Elementary School – Prague, where I have been working as a class teacher since September 2020. The research was conducted in a mixed age class of Gd 1-3 students aged 6-9 years. I focused mainly on trying out the lessons with my class having created the materials for the prepared environment. In conclusion, I will evaluate the contribution of Peace Education for the class team and the changes of dynamics within the students in terms of respecting others. In addition, I will also reflect on the lessons and write recommendations for teachers who would like to use them.

Abstract/Notes: After completing her training in 1913, Margaret Naumburg, in her lectures and articles, portrayed a highly emotional and romanticized image of Maria Montessori. Naumburg established several Montessori schools in New York City: at the Henry Street Settlement in 1913; at the Leete School from 1914 to 1916; and in the New York public school system in 1915. Stymied by bureaucracy and inadequate funding, she abandoned her public school experiment. Moving from Montessorian principles, Naumburg identified increasingly with child-centered Progressive education but added a dimension from Jung’s Analytic Psychology which emphasized children’s need to free their emotions through imaginative, creative self-expression through art. She founded her own “Children’s School” in 1916 in New York City, subsequently renamed the Walden School. She is also famous for developing dynamically oriented Art Therapy.

Abstract/Notes: This study undertook to investigate the practical application of the Montessori method in London Montessori pre-schools, and how this relates to the individual teacher's interpretation of the theory underpinning the method. This entailed an examination and analysis of the understanding and attitudes of teachers towards the practicalities of Montessori theory, as well as the relationship between that interpretation and the subsequent practice. Hence the key research aimed to determine the position and attitudes of a selection of Montessori teachers in schools today...
