Abstract/Notes: This article examines the role played by the conferences of the New Education Fellowship (NEF) in the emerging disciplinary field of the sciences of education between the two world wars. As Fuchs points out in an article in the present issue, the field of education at this time was being internationalized, and, being an international movement, the field impacted on by the NEF was international in scope.1 As will be seen, the ideas and practices of the new education were mediated by national cultural differences and thus their impact on the disciplinary field varied from nation to nation.2 In addition, the development of the field in terms of journals, conferences and its institutionalization within nations was uneven, which presents further difficulties when trying to evaluate the impact of the NEF's conferences. Much of the following discussion focuses on their impact on the disciplinary field in England though, as will be seen, not exclusively so. One of the distinguishing features of the NEF other than its international scope was that it was a movement that connected lay enthusiasts for the educational reforms associated with the new education with major figures in the developing disciplines of psychology and education, such as Carl Gustav Jung, Jean Piaget and John Dewey. The relation between these lay and professional constituencies is examined and conclusions drawn regarding the professionalizing process in the field and the impact of the conferences on educational research and its institutionalization.

Abstract/Notes: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of STEM activities prepared on the basis of the Montessori education approach philosophy on pre-school teacher candidates' attitudes towards science and science teaching. Mixed method was used in the study. The sample group consists of 50 pre-school teacher candidates in total. In the study, a single group pre-test post-test pattern was created to collect quantitative data. The study lasted 14 weeks in total. In the study, "Science Attitude Scale" and "Science Attitude Scale" were used as quantitative data collection tools. In order to collect the qualitative data of the study, the "semi-structured interview form" prepared by the researcher based on the items of the scales used in quantitative terms was used. The quantitative data obtained in the study were analyzed using the statistical (paired sample t test) method, and the qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. In the results of working; It has been determined that STEM activities based on Montessori approach have a positive effect on pre-school teacher candidates' attitudes towards science and science teaching. The results obtained from the qualitative data showed that there were positive improvements in teacher candidates' attitudes towards science and science teaching and the quantitative results were of high quality.

Abstract/Notes: Okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukların gelişimi ve istenilen düzeyde ilerleme kaydedilmesi, devam ettikleri okullarda almış oldukları eğitim hizmetinin niteliği ile yakından ilişkilidir. Çocukların, diğer yetişkinler gibi yaşamlarını bağımsız olarak sürdürebilmeleri için günlük yaşamdaki bazı davranışları öğrenmeleri gerekir. Yetişkin bireyler bilinçli bir şekilde, kararlı ve istekli kararlar vererek öğrenirler. Çocukların gelişimlerinde sağlam temeller oluşturmak için etkili öğretim yaklaşımı seçiminin, fiziksel ortam seçiminin, materyallerle öğretimin önemli bir yeri ve eğitici bir etkisi vardır. Montessori ile Fen, Teknoloji, Mühendislik ve Matematik (STEM) eğitim yaklaşımlarının okul öncesi eğitim programında ne derece uygulanabileceğini, benzer ve farklı yönlerini öğretmen görüşleri ile belirlemektir. Çalışma grubunu 2016-2017 eğitim öğretim yılında Batman ilinde bulunan Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı bünyesinde ki bağımsız anaokulları ile ilk ve orta dereceli okullar bünyesinde yer alan ana sınıflarında eğitim öğretim veren 14 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma nitel desenlenmiş olup, veri toplama yöntemi olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmış, “içerik analizi” yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, okul öncesi öğretmenleri, Montessori eğitim yöntemini bilmekte ancak STEM eğitim yaklaşımından ilk defa bu araştırma sayesinde haberdar olmuşlardır. Her iki yöntem için de ortaya çıkan en önemli eksiklikler; çocuklar için önceden hazırlanmış bir çevrenin olmayışı buna bağlı olarak kendi kendini geliştirebileceği şekilde hareket ve faaliyet özgürlüğü imkanının bulunmayışı aynı zamanda okulun fiziki yapısının da çocukların gelişimini engellediği ifade edilmiştir. Çocukların bireysel ilgi ve eğilimlerine göre bağımsız olarak seçip çalışabilecekleri materyallerin bulunmayışı nitelikli eğitim almaları önündeki engellerdir. Genel bir değerlendirme yapıldığında v öğretmenlerin araştırmaya ilgi gösterdiği ve yeni yaklaşımlarla ilgili fikirlerinin olumlu yönde değiştiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. / The development of the children in the pre-school period and progress at the desired level are closely related to the quality of the education they have received in the schools they attend. Children, like other adults, need to learn some behaviors in everyday life so that they can survive independently. Adult individuals learn consciously by making resolute and willing decisions. The choice of effective teaching approach, the choice of physical environment, an important place to teach materials, and educational effects are important for building solid foundations in children's development. Montessori teaches the extent to which science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curricula can be applied in pre-school education programs. The working group constitutes 14 pre-school teachers who provide education in independent kindergartens within the Ministry of National Education in the province of Batman in 2016-2017 educational year and primary classes in primary and secondary schools. The research was qualitatively designed. The semi-structured interview technique was used as the data collection method and "content analysis" was performed. According to the findings, pre-school teachers know Montessori education method but they became aware of STEM education approach for the first time thanks to this research. The most important shortcomings of both methods are; it is stated that the absence of a pre-prepared environment for children, the possibility of freedom and activity in such a way that it can develop itself and at the same time the physical structure of the school prevents the development of children. The lack of materials that children can choose and work independently of their individual interests and tendencies are a barrier to qualified education. When a general evaluation is made, it has been reached that the teachers have shown interest in the research and their ideas about the new approaches changed positively.
