Abstract/Notes: Survei Status Gizi Indonesia (SSGI) tahun 2022 melaporkan angka stunting sebesar 21,6%, menurun 2,8% dibandingkan tahun 2021 yaitu 24,4%. Namun Indonesia perlu bekerja keras untuk mencapai target 14% pada 2024. Kekurangan gizi pada anak stunting dapat menyebabkan gangguan perkembangan kognitif yang berdampak pada keberhasilan belajar anak dan mempengaruhi masa depan bangsa. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kognitif anak stunting dengan metode belajar Montessori. Dibandingkan metode tradisional lainnya, Montessori merupakan alternatif yang sangat baik untuk perkembangan kognitif anak. Tujuan penelitian : untuk menganalisis pengaruh Montessori terhadap perkembangan kognitif pada anak stunting. Desain penelitian menggunakan quasy eksperimen pretest – postest with control group. Kelompok intervensi yaitu kelompok Montessori dan kelompok kontrol yaitu kelompok metode belajar tradisional. Intervensi dilakukan selama 2 bulan. Sampel berjumlah 38 anak stunting yang diambil secara purposive sampling. Instrument yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner KPSP dan lembar observasi perkembangan kognitif Montessori. Uji statistic yang digunakan yaitu paired sample t test dan independent t test. Hasil uji paired sample t test diperoleh p value 0.001 pada kelompok Montessori dan p value 0.064 pada kelompok belajar tradisional. Hasil uji independent t test diperoleh p value 0.004. Montessori terbukti berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan kognitif pada anak stunting. Montessori melatih anak untuk mengeksplorasi dan menemukan lingkungan belajar yang tepat dan nyaman.

Maria Montessori and Roberto Assagioli: Parallels in Their Thinking
Abstract/Notes: In this critical co-constructed auto-ethnographic article we draw on research from two contexts, exploring how critical peace education can be more than palliative care in times of ecological collapse and profound crises across ecosystems. Examining the current crises of learning, living and being, we call for eco-peace-based education: grounded in interconnectedness and interdependence, as a way to transgress unsustainable violences on personal, interpersonal, and ecological levels. We focus on three main arguments that extend learning about nature, to learning with and in nature, towards regenerative approaches of learning, living, and being. Firstly, to move beyond the self-centered (ego) towards interconnected and Earth-centered (eco) epistemologies. Secondly, we explore concrete examples of alternative schools that learn from, in and with nature through fostering innate care between students and Earth (in our own contexts, India and Germany). Thirdly, we reimagine possible futures of eco-peace-based approaches, and argue for a shift towards more peaceful and interconnected futures by integrating eco-peace principles, content and pedagogies into current education systems.

Abstract/Notes: Is the achievement gap real? Using a mixed-methods approach, this study reframed standardized testing through a Quantitative Critical and Black Critical lens. It interrogated the deficit framing of Black student achievement by asking the following questions: (1) To what extent do the aggregated standardized test scores for Black students in California correlate with other measures of achievement? Included in this analysis are: (a) To what degree does the ratio of Black students relate to the achievement variables? and (b) To what extent did COVID impact this correlation? (2) What beliefs do Black educators have regarding the standardized test scores of Black students? and (3) How do Black educators define Black Genius? Data sources included a quantitative comparison of three achievement variables from 56 school districts over two cohort years (2017/2018–2021/2022), a questionnaire, and document analyses. “Groundtruthing” (Pérez Huber et al., 2018) was also used to verify the data with 23 Black educators. Findings revealed a lack of any strong correlation between the state standardized test to other, more meaningful outcomes for Black students. The study proffers three terms to frame the issue more accurately: Achievement Distortion, Connection Gap, and Black Genius. Groundtruthed by Black educators, Black Genius is defined as an intelligence that exists outside of the traditional, status quo, Western conceptualization of intelligence. Black Genius is rooted in Black community, consciousness, and our collective history, propelling Black people to achieve, persist, and make progress in the face of persistent anti-Blackness.

Montessori Primary Schools' Effectiveness: A Quasi-Experimental Study on Schooling Outcomes
Abstract/Notes: Montessori is a highly individualized pedagogy that prioritizes following each child’s individual interests over standardized test scores. This quasi-experimental study compares groups of Montessori students (treatment groups, N = 535–710) with control groups of non-Montessori students, matched through the simple matching method, which controls for the effect of background variables on schooling outcomes. The tested hypothesis is that the treatment groups achieve mean scores that are not significantly lower and have a significantly higher standard deviation on standardized tests of mathematics and language. The study encompassed students in Grade 2, 5, 8, and 10 across two separate cohorts. Results indicate that Montessori students attain either comparable or significantly higher scores than non-Montessori students, depending on grade and cohort, with greater score variability observed, particularly at Grade 8 and in mathematics. This finding implies the necessity for future investigations into the effect of Montessori teachers’ instructional practices.

Abstract/Notes: El método de Montessori destaca la didáctica a través de los cinco sentidos, no sólo a través de tres de ellos como se hace tradicionalmente (escuchar, ver o leer), el docente deberá saber con previa evaluación lo que cada niño está listo para realizar. Esta enseñanza es un fascinante proceso de invención, lo que conduce a la plena concentración, la motivación y sobre todo el auto-control. El objetivo de la investigación es impulsar el hábito del auto-estudio y la autodisciplina, es decir que posibilita a que el niño trabaje con autonomía, favoreciendo el propio interés y la investigación que ayudan al niño a concentrarse en su aula; la metodología aplicada se buscó coordinar y alcanzar los objetivos propuestos mediante una investigación bibliográfica y relatos narrativos. La función del orientador fundamental es la del adulto, y en especial el padre, ya que se considera el principal guía del niño, quien es el responsable de mostrarle elmundo en sus primeros pasos. Esta enseñanza es un fascinante proceso de invención, lo que conduce a la plena concentración, la motivación y sobre todo el auto-control, los niños logran asimilar: una investigación propia e independiente, planificar, organizar, compilar información; crear: presentaciones, exposiciones y proyectos. [The Montessori method highlights the didactics through the five senses, not only through three of them as is traditionally done (listening, seeing or reading), the teacher must know with prior evaluation what each child is ready to do. This teaching is a fascinating process of invention, which leads to full concentration, motivation and above all self-control. The objective of the research is to promote the habit of self-study and self-discipline, that is, it enables the child to work with autonomy, favoring self-interest and research that help the child to concentrate in her classroom; The applied methodology sought to coordinate and achieve the proposed objectives through bibliographic research and narrative stories. The role of the fundamental guide is that of the adult, and especially the father, since she is considered the child's main guide, who is responsible for showing her the world in her first steps. This teaching is a fascinating process of invention, which leads to full concentration, motivation and above all self-control, children manage to assimilate: their own independent research, planning, organizing, compiling information; create: presentations, exhibitions and projects.]
