Abstract/Notes: This article explores some of the literature concerning the effectiveness of the Montessori educational approach for children with ASC within an English school context. Firstly, there is a discussion, including a short historical review, regarding the ideology of inclusion and how it has impacted upon mainstream education. Also, how this can be facilitated using play-based approaches such as Montessori. Secondly, various models of disability are identified in order to highlight how they have informed societal attitudes towards people with disabilities. There is a brief history of ASC detailing how a child with this disability may be affected on a daily basis and the effectiveness of alternative play-based educational approaches such as Montessori in helping children with ASC to develop the appropriate skills they need in order to self-regulate and thus modify their behaviour. Furthermore, the value of play-based curriculums in supporting a child diagnosed with ASC throughout the learning process is also evaluated. The summary highlights the need for more evidence-based studies to be undertaken in order to assess whether the Montessori approach is a valid alternative in teaching pre-school children with ASC.

In the research, case studies pattern based on the effects of the program, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. “Montessori approach based STEM applications Interview Form” was used as a qualitative data tool developed by the researcher in the study. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis method. As a result of data analysis, it was determined that pre-service teachers about Montessori approach based STEM applications have a positive opinion and they intend to use these applications in their lessons in the future.

Abstract/Notes: There are a wide variety of approaches towards education and treatment that have been used in the education of individuals with special needs. One of these approaches is the Montessori Method. The Montessori Method emphasizes that education is a natural process and believes that the child behaves by listening to his or her own inner voice and in this way develops self control and learning. Mentally disabled and autistic children and other children with developmental disorders exist in the same environment with their able peers in special education schools which practice the Montessori Method. Furthermore, the Montessori Method provides the child to find the best and the easiest way of learning through practicing by himself. In the present study, the topics of equipment, arrangement of the educational environment, education and teaching methods, the role of the teacher in education in the Montessori Method and the use of the method in disabled children will be discussed. / Özel gereksinimli bireylerin eğitiminde çok çeşitli eğitim ve öğretim yaklaşımı vardır bunlardan birisi de Montessori yöntemidir. Montessori yöntemi, eğitimin doğal bir süreç olduğunu vurgular ve çocuğun kendi iç sesini dinleyerek hareket edeceğine, böylece hem kendi kendini denetlemeyi hem de öğrenmeyi gerçekleştireceğine inanır. Montessori yöntemini uygulayan özel eğitim okullarında, zihinsel engelli, otistik özellikleri olan çocuklar ve diğer gelişimsel bozuklukları olan çocuklar engelli olmayan akranları ile birlikte aynı ortamda bulunurlar. Ayrıca Montessori yöntemi, çocuğa kendi kendine uygulayarak en iyi ve en kolay şekilde öğrenme yolunu bulmasını sağlar. Bu çalışmada, Montessori yönteminde; araç gereç, eğitim ortamının düzenlenmesi, eğitim öğretim yöntemleri, öğretmenin eğitimdeki rolü ve yönteminin engelli çocuklarda kullanımı konularına yer verilmiştir.
