Abstract/Notes: The present paper proposes a method to isolate as much as possible the effects of the different educational innovations present in the Italian territory on the learning outcomes measured by the Invalsi National Surveys, to contribute to the debate on the effectiveness of such alternative approaches, such as “Avanguardie educative”, Montessori, “Senza Zaino”, “We Debate”, “Book in Progress”, etc. To illustrate the proposal, we take as an example the research that is taking place on Montessori teaching, in the framework of the PhD in Social & Developmental Psychology and Educational Research at Sapienza University of Rome. According to Cook, Campbell and Peracchio’s (1990) classification, the research design is a design with non-equivalent groups, with only post-tests,because there is no random assignment to experimental and control groups: the assignment takes place with the simple matching (precision control) method, which guarantees the greatest possible isolation of the effect of the independent variable, which keeps under control a) the effects of all the variables that we know affect dependent variables, and b) the effect of their interaction. The proposed method consists in five steps. The first step is about reconstructing the list of schools that follow a certain educational innovation. In the case of Montessori pedagogy, the list of 50 fifth primary classes active in Italy in 2013 and 2016 has been defined. The second step consists in reconstructing the school careers of the students attending the schools on the list. In the case of Montessori schools, for about half of the students of both cohorts, the number of years of Montessori school attended was defined through a meticulous collection of data from the secretariats of 12 Montessori schools in Italy. By this way, in addition to the experimental group of all those enrolled in the Montessori sections identified, there is an experimental group whose number of years of Montessori school attended is also known. The third step is about requesting, to the Statistical Office of Invalsi, the achievement in National Surveys of the students attending the list of identified classes. In the case of Montessori schools, on 24 November 2020 the list of sections and SIDI codes of students whose career was reconstructed was submitted, and between January and February 2021 the databases of the 2013 and 2016 National Surveys was returned, with the distinction between Montessori and non-Montessori students. The fourth step consists in defining the experimental group, made up in this case by the students who attended a Montessori school, and the control group, whose members are identified with the simple matching method (Bailey, 1982, p. 340). The last step consists in verifying, by ANOVA, any statistically significant differences between the distributions of the scores of the experimental groups and related control groups.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study is to analysis of Montessori sensory education and the math education content commonly included in the national curriculum. The study is based on the theoretical ground that diverse, specific and systematic activities and teaching tools would help efficient teaching of abstract math concepts to young children considering their developmental characteristics. First, the math education content commonly included in the national curriculum(2007 Kindergarten Curriculum and Standard Childcare Curriculum) was analyzed and then used as reference in determining the amount of math education content included in Montessori sensory education. According to this study, even though Montessori sensory education demonstrated limited relevance to number and arithmetics, all other math content was sufficiently addressed. Therefore, the use of Montessori sensory education could be considered an efficient approach to enhancing basic math ability of young children. / 본 연구는 몬테소리 감각교구가 국가수준 교육과정에서 다루고 있는 유아 수학교육 내용을 어느 정도 다루고 있는지 비교함으로써, 유아의 수학적 기초 능력 향상을 위해 몬테소리 감각교구를 활용하기 위한 기초자료를 마련하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 2007년 유치원 교육과정 및 표준보육과정에서 공통적으로 다루고 있는 수학교육내용(수와 연산, 기하, 측정, 규칙성, 자료의 분석)에 따라 몬테소리 감각교구를 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과 몬테소리 감각교구는 수학교육 내용 중 수와 연산과는 비교적 관련성이 적었으나 모든 감각교구가 수학교육 내용을 충분히 다루고 있었다. 따라서 유아의 수학적 기초 능력 향상을 위한 방안으로 몬테소리 감각교구를 활용할 수 있다고 사료된다.

Abstract/Notes: El presente artículo recoge, en retrospectiva, la experiencia del Primer Congreso Pedagógico Nacional realizado en Colombia en 1917. Se ubican cuatro tensiones fundamentales: el manejo de las escuelas normales, los métodos de enseñanza, los textos y los programas escolares y, por último, las tensiones entre dos formas de pedagogía, la conservadora y la liberal. Además, se señala como uno de los avances principales la creación, en marzo de 1927, del Instituto Pedagógico Nacional, que al trasegar por el método Montessori y fomentar los principios de la escuela activa contribuyó a la modernización de la pedagogía en el país y, hacia mediados de siglo xx, la conformación de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPN). [This article takes a retrospective look at the experience from the First National Pedagogical Congress that took place in Colombia in 1917. Four fundamental tensions are identified: the management of normal schools, the teaching methods, the school texts and programs and, finally, the strains between two ways of pedagogical thinking, the conservative and the liberal. Furthermore, the creation of the National Pedagogical Institute in March 1927 is seen as one of the main breakthroughs that, by changing to the Montessori’s method and encouraging the progressive education’s principles, contributed to the pedagogical modernization of the country and, by mid-twentieth century, to the establishment of the National Pedagogical University (UPN). / Este artigo recolhe, em retrospectiva, a experiência do Primeiro Congresso Pedagógico Nacional realizado na Colômbia em 1917. Relacionam-se quatro tensões fundamentais: o gerenciamento das Escolas Normais, os métodos de ensino, os textos e os programas escolares e, por último, as tensões entre dois tipos de pedagogia, o conservador e o liberal. Além disso, como um dos avanços principais assinala-se a criação do Instituto Pedagógico Nacional, em março de 1927, que ao trasfegar pelo Método Montessori e fomentar os princípios da escola ativa, contribuiu à modernização da pedagogia no país e, por volta de meados do século xx, à conformação da Universidade Pedagógica Nacional (UPN).]
