Abstract/Notes: Abstrak: Dampak pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan para relawan Rumah Baca Sahabatku (RBS) kewalahan menangani anak-anak Sekolah Dasar (SD) dan Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) tingkat awal yang tergabung dalam kelas literasi baca tulis. Sebagian besar anak tersebut mengalami kesulitan belajar membaca dan menulis. Metode konvensional dan monoton yang relawan terapkan tidak mampu mengatasi masalah yang mereka hadapi di kelas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proses penguatan relawan melalui asistensi metode Montessori yang dianggap lebih relevan daripada metode sebelumnya. Penelitian ini termasuk jenis penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan teknik analisis data secara naratif. Metode purposive sampling digunakan untuk pengambilan sampel. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan secara triangulasi, yaitu observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasilnya, proses penguatan relawan di RBS menambah pengetahuan dan meningkatkan keterampilan relawan dalam mengajar. Relawan mendapat asistensi secara bertahap dan konsisten dengan mengikuti kegiatan menyusun modul dan membuat media pembelajaran Montessori, pelatihan mengajar metode Montessori, dan kegiatan evaluasi secara rutin. Dampak asistensi tersebut dirasakan oleh relawan RBS, yaitu mereka mampu mempraktikkan metode Montessori di kelas dengan baik dan mengatasi masalah yang dihadapi saat mengajar. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan berkurangnya keluhan relawan saat mengajar, kepercayaan diri relawan sebagai tutor meningkat, dan adanya perkembangan kemampuan baca tulis anak yang memuaskan. Kondisi tersebut mendorong RBS untuk melakukan kajian lebih mendalam terkait keberlanjutan program penguatan relawan, sehingga kelas literasi baca tulis dengan tingkat yang lebih kompleks bisa dilanjutkan di masa yang akan datang.

Abstract: The impact of Covid-19 posed a real challenge for the volunteers of Rumah Baca Sahabatku (RBS).They could not handle the reading and writing (literacy) class because most of the children who were lower elementary students had diffi culties in learning reading and writing. The conventional and monotonous methodhad been applied but it could not help to overcome the problems faced by the volunteers in the class. This study aims to know the process of strengthening literacy class volunteers in RBS through the assistance of the Montessori method which was considered more relevant than the previous method. This research is qualitative research using adalah mahasiswa dan mereka menjadi tutor kelas literasi baca tulis tingkat awal. narrative analysis. The purposive sampling was the method used in the study to take the representative sample. The researcher used triangulation to collect the data, namely observations, interviews, and documentation. As a result, the process of strengthening volunteers in RBS increased the volunteers’ knowledge and improved their skills in teaching. The volunteers gradually and consistently received the assistance by doing the activity of creating module and making Montesssori learning media, attending the teaching training using Montessori method, and conducting the regular self-evaluation. The impact of the assistance was felt by the volunteers, namely they could practice the Montessori method in classes well and overcome their problems while teaching. This was evidenced by less volunteer complaints, the improvement of the tutors’ confi dence, and the satisfactory development of the children’s reading and writing skills. This condition prompts RBS to conduct a more in-dept study of sustainability of the volunteer strengthening program. Thus, the volunteers will be ready to handle higher-level literacy class in the future. Key words: volunteers, reading and writing (literacy) class, Montessori method
Teori Belajar Konstruktivisme Maria Montessori dan Penerapannya di Masa Pandemi COVID-19 [Maria Montessori's Constructivism Learning Theory and Its Application during the COVID-19 Pandemic]
Abstract/Notes: The coronavirus which began to spread in early 2020 changed the world order (new normal), it also had a direct impact on the education aspect. In Indonesia, there is a policy to conduct online learning. Not all learning can be done online due to signal constraints and costs. So we need a solution, in the form of a theoretical concept that reveals the importance of independent learning and self-study to hone sensory-motor development in children. This concept is found in Maria Montessori's constructivism learning theory. Using a qualitative approach through reading through philosophical hermeneutics, which the author excavated from Maria Montessori's parent books, this research is to find (1) What are the big ideas of Maria Montessori's constructivism learning theory? (2) How is the application of constructivism learning theory for children during the Covid-19 period? with the aim of research to uncover and apply constructivism learning theory from Maria Montessori's perspective for children during a pandemic.This study concludes: (1) Children can self-construct, sensitive period, absorbent mind and certain developmental laws in their learning (2) Application of the Montessori method which includes activities to provide sensory, motor, and language stimulationat home. This understanding is important so that parents use constructivism learning theory in children and use it as the basis for parents' beliefs during this new normal era of learning. / Virus corona yang mulai menyebar awal tahun 2020 mengubah tatanan dunia (new normal), hal tersebut juga terdampak langsung pada aspek pendidikan.

Abstract/Notes: My former practice in the Montessori Method and my long lasting work and experiences with dogs of all ages prompted me to investigate the application possibilities of Montessori's concepts of “Sensitive Periods" (SP) and “Prepared Environment" (PE) for the education of growing dogs. Following the fundamental principles of Montessori's concept I tried to compare her doctrines with the up to now valid fundamentals of education for adolescent dogs. The observation of dogs during their development and their education is very important. Therefor the need of knowledge about the SP in the development of dogs and recognizing the needs they have is essentially. A careful observation is the key to make aware for the SP to facilitate environment and prosperous development. The bitch instinctively knows how to nurse and how to educate her whelps. This is in best accordance with requirements of a natural environment in which puppies can make important experiences and practice their skills. The PE and the conscious dog handler should emulate this situation. Due to this method I expect the dog handlers’ attitudes towards their dogs will change into a more respectful and loving one. Dogs that developed like their inner path demanded will be integrated, self-confident and contended and will love to work with and for their handlers. In my study I tried to work out the importance of the PE and the role of breeders and handlers for the development during the “SP” for dogs following Montessori's concept for children

Abstract/Notes: This literature review provides a broad examination of the importance of culturally sustaining
practices in public Montessori schools. For the purpose of this paper, culturally sustaining
practices refers to any pedagogical practice or framework that prioritizes the racial and social
identities of children of color, and/or the work that educators must do to strengthen these
culturally sustaining practices. Culturally sustaining practices include but are not limited to
Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, which Paris (2012) adapted from Ladson-Billings' (1995)
Culturally Responsive Pedagogy. Specifically examining the experiences that children of color
experience in public Montessori education in the U.S., the author proposes that culturally
sustaining practices combined with the Montessori method will lead to more humanizing and
uplifting school experiences for Montessori families and educators. The research questions
guiding the review are: (1) How does public Montessori education intersect with racial justice,
social justice, and CSP, specifically as it serves children of color? (2) What is the internal work
required of adults who want to employ CSP in their practice with children? The themes that
arose from the literature were: the racial and economic challenges facing public Montessori in
the U.S.; the varied experiences of Montessori students of color; the need for more social justice
and culturally sustaining practices; and the aspects of culturally sustaining practices already
existing in Montessori. The paper ends with recommendations for schools and Montessori
teacher preparation.

Is Alternative Schooling Associated with Lower Bullying Incidence?
Abstract/Notes: Bullying is a serious problem in mainstream public schools. One purpose of this article is to review the literature to investigate whether other types of schools, such as Steiner schools and Montessori schools, have a lower frequency of bullying than mainstream schools. Another purpose is to determine if bullying is a common factor leading to decisions to homeschool children. The article also includes a discussion of some lessons mainstream schools can learn from alternative schools about bullying prevention. There is evidence to suggest that bullying is more prevalent at mainstream schools, and bullying is a commonly cited reason to homeschool.
Abstract/Notes: The first edition of 'The Absorbent Mind' was published in English by Kalakshetra (Madras, India) in 1949. In 1952, Montessori wrote a fully revised edition in Italian, published by Garzanti in 1952. This was the first Italian edition, entitled 'La Mente del Bambino'. This current edition is a translation by Claude Claremont of the Italian 1952 edition.

Abstract/Notes: There is limited amount of research that constitutes non-traditional curricula implemented within an institutionalized context of developing countries. An attempt is made in this project to gain a clearer understanding of a non-traditional early learning program within an orphanage campus setting of Ladyville, Belize, Central America. This program is supported through the Belizean Ministry of Education and the University of Belize. In 1996, a comprehensive literacy survey was conducted in Belize that indicated the functional literacy rate to be approximately 40 percent (Cornerstone, 2007). In addition, it is estimated within developing countries one person in four is illiterate (Terryn, 2006). Liberty Learning Centre (LLC) of Ladyville, Belize implemented non-traditional theoretical curricula reflecting the social-constructivist theory to early learning. The methodologies include: Pikler, Montessori and components of the Reggio Emilia philosophy. The staff of LLC discovered creative, innovative and strategic ways to differentiate traditional academic learning through a diverse non-traditional learning environment. Procedures: Responses from the administration, caregivers, teachers, staff and students were interpreted and documented through various means of audio/DVD/video recordings, photography, interviews and journals. In addition I used detailed anecdotal field notes that became pieces to the methodology for the project. Findings: Responses, thoughts, ideas and viewpoints were given by the administration, teachers, students and staff regarding the implementation of non-traditional curricula within an institutionalized and non-traditional learning environment of a developing country. Implication: An institutionalized and international socio-cultural perspective will extend early childhood education further through a qualitative ethnographic study in Belize. This project gives voice to the silent and voiceless.
