Abstract/Notes: The article presented is a qualitative analysis of the early education Freinet and Montessori teachers in relation to their educational practices in the scope of educational constructivism. Understanding constructivism as a metaphor describing process of learning, the authors outline similarities and differences in the conceptions attributed to the processes of learning between the two researched groups of teachers. The results of the analysis show the opposite “direction” of the thematizations. Freinet teachers concentrate on the techniques and then – in their narratives – outline the values related to education whereas Montessori teachers’ narratives are oriented at values and only illustrated with some technological examples. The outcomes of the analysis can be formulated in a form of provisional synthesis: The realization of constructivism in education is not connected so much with so called “active learning techniques” but rather with values, individual and shared axio-educational orientations and the quality of relations between various subjects involved in education. Such a hypothesis leads to the questioning of the tendency according to which teachers’ education should be practical. On the contrary, we claim that such a conception on teachers’ education might be an obstacle to the wide implementation of constructivism in educational practices.

Action Research: A Tool for Equity

Abstract/Notes: [...]Montessori advocated for teachers to support children in their developing autonomy and their formation of agency. Montessori modeled nurturing humans who work for social justice by learning to respect themselves (identity), respect others (diversity), respect their physical and social environment (justice), and build agency that will ultimately enable them to make positive change for equity and inclusion (activism). [...]a change in environment or curriculum or communication can often impact the entire learning experience of children. Providing learning experiences guided by the Cosmic curriculum resulted in an engaging environment where lessons in reading and writing found purposeful application, as students explored the big concept of social justice and found that they could make change.

Applying Liberatory Consciousness to Action Research

Abstract/Notes: To be truly in service of humanity, we must always approach this work as critically conscious researchers with an understanding that our work is not only to improve our classrooms but also to examine systems of power and privilege, with the end goal of creating more collaboration and equity between and within diverse communities. In this situation, I'd bring in analysis by asking the following: * How does the observed behavior reflect the school culture? * Where do I observe put-downs or an emphasis on competition in broader society? * How/where does the child's plane of development come into play? * How am I defining ways to be "good" for my students ? * Where are my blind spots? * How might positional power be at play here? To prepare for accountability/allyship in this scenario, I'd begin by asking the following: * What are my patterns of thought or behavior as it relates to mathematics teaching and learning? * Are my patterns of thought or behavior as it relates to mathematics teaching and learning informed by internalized inferiority, or privilege and dominance? * How can I use my understanding of the above questions to move my students forward in their learning? [...]connecting social justice and culture helps to address other critical societal issues such as stereotype threat in science and math (Maloney et al., 2013; Regner et al., 2014).
