Abstract/Notes: The aim of this study is to compare the math skills of children with and without Montessori education. A mixed design method was used in the research. Quantitative data were used to measure children's mathematical skills. Parents' views on early mathematics education were obtained by qualitative data collection method. The study group included 39 children who attended two different kindergartens with and without Montessori education for two years and their parents. Personal information form and the Early Mathematics Test (EMAT) were used to collect data. As a result that the educational institution they attend is effective in children's mathematics skills, it was found that, the mathematics skill scores of the children who received Montessori education were higher than those who did not receive Montessori education. It was determined that the age of the children's parents, education level of the parents and working status of mothers did not cause significant changes on the children's math scores. Parents of children attending both schools stated that they see mathematics as a part of daily life and that early mathematics achievements will affect both their whole life and their future academic achievements. It was observed that the parents mostly focused on counting skills. While some of the parents expressed skills such as sequencing, matching, and patterns, none of them responded to geometry. It has been concluded that the families adopting the Montessori education method see this education method as a tool for learning mathematics and guide their learning at home by interacting more with their teachers. / Bu araştırma, Montessori eğitimi alan ve almayan çocukların matematik becerilerini karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada nicel ve nitel veri toplama yöntemleri birlikte yer almıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunda sontest kontrol gruplu model, nitel boyutunda ise ilişkisel tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubuna MEB OÖEP'na göre eğitim veren ve MEB OÖEP'na ek olarak Montessori yöntemiyle eğitim veren farklı anaokullarından 39 çocuk ve bu çocukların ebeveynleri dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak, Aile Görüşme Formu ve Erken Matematik Testi (EMAT) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; çocukların matematik becerilerinde, devam ettikleri eğitim kurumunun etkili olduğu, Montessori eğitimi alan çocukların matematik beceri puanlarının, Montessori eğitimi almayan çocuklardan daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çocukların yaş grubu, cinsiyet ve kardeş sayısının matematik becerilerini etkilemediği görülmüştür. Anne-baba yaşı, anne-baba öğrenim durumu ve annenin çalışıp çalışmama durumunun çocukların EMAT puanları üzerinde anlamlı değişikliklere yol açmadığı saptanmıştır. Her iki okula devam eden çocukların ebeveynleri, matematiği günlük hayatın bir parçası olarak gördüklerini ve erken dönem matematik kazanımlarının hem hayatın tamamını hem de akademik başarıları etkileyeceğine yönelik görüş bildirmişlerdir. Ebeveynlerin matematik konusunda en çok sayı sayma becerisi üzerinde durdukları görülmüştür. Bazı ebeveynler sıralama, eşleştirme, örüntü gibi becerileri ifade ederken geometriye yönelik herhangi bir yanıt gelmemiştir. Montessori eğitim yöntemini benimseyen ailelerin, bu eğitim yöntemini matematik öğrenimi için bir araç olarak gördükleri ve öğretmenleriyle daha çok etkileşimde bulunarak evdeki öğrenmelerine rehberlik ettikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract/Notes: The being of Pedagogy for Maria Montessori is getting to the statement itself, that since every child is different, should develop according to its possibilities, competence and the ability – of individual developmental plans so that their real accomplishment enables the independent and more effective learning for him. Child raised in its heart of hearts pedagogies of Maria Montessori will be a person independent, responsible for oneself and world, diligent in the future. The development of every child is causing itself according to individual of “plan of the development”. Therefore it isn’t possible from above to create the education and teaching system without taking individual characteristics of the child into account. Maria Montessori devoted a lot of attention to the music appreciation. A join of the music is important with the move which is an important factor of the child development. / Istota pedagogiki Marii Montessori sprowadza się do stwierdzenia, że każde dziecko jest inne, powinno rozwijać się według swoich możliwości, kompetencji i umiejętności – indywidualnych planów rozwojowych tak, aby ich właściwa realizacja umożliwiała mu naukę samodzielną i efektywniejszą. Dziecko wychowane w duchu pedagogiki Marii Montessori będzie w przyszłości osobą samodzielną, odpowiedzialną za siebie i świat, pracowitą. Rozwój każdego dziecka dokonuje się według indywidualnego „planu rozwoju”. Dlatego nie można z góry stworzyć systemu wychowawczego i dydaktycznego bez uwzględnienia indywidualnych cech dziecka. Wychowaniu muzycznemu Maria Montessori poświęciła wiele uwagi. Ważne jest łączenie muzyki z ruchem, który jest ważnym czynnikiem rozwoju dziecka.

Abstract/Notes: Examines the relationship between two preschool program directors' and teachers' beliefs, instructional decisions, and preschool children's conceptions of reading and writing. Results show that preschool children's conceptions of reading and writing reflected the practices of the two programs. (Author/BB) Directors of two preschool programs were interviewed regarding their orientations toward reading and writing instruction. Ten children from each program were interviewed regarding their conceptions of reading and writing. One school was found to have a “mastery of specific skills/text-based” orientation, and the other was found to have a “holistic/reader-based” orientation. A relationship was found between preschool program's orientations toward reading and writing instruction and children's ideas about reading and writing. The relationships between preschool practices and children's conceptions are examined. Implications for the influence of preschool teacher's beliefs and instructional decisions on children's conceptions of reading and writing are discussed.

Abstract/Notes: This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental attitude and children's playfulness and to highlight the importance of it. The subjects of this study are 147 children aged 4 and 5, their father or mother, and their teachers from educational institutions located in Daejeon. The questionnaire for parental attitude is Schaefer's "Maternal Behavior Research Instrument", translated by Wonyoung Lee (1983). For children's playfulness, Children's Playfulness Scale(CPS) is used, which was invented with the concept of playfulness defined by Barnett (1991) & Lieberman (1977). The research results are as followings: First, there is significant differences of parental attitude between fathers and mothers in all the categories of parental attitudes: loving, refusing, autonomous, and controlling attitudes. Second, there is significant difference of parental attitude by children's gender, in particular in the refusing attitude, while there is not any significant difference of parental attitude by children's age. However, in the loving attitude, 4-aged group gained significantly higher marks than 5-year group. Third, there is significant difference of children's playfulness by children's gender and age. Particularly in physical playfulness as one of sub-category of children's playfulness, boys show better physical spontaneity than girls significantly. There is significant difference of children's playfulness by children's age. For cognitive spontaneity as one of sub-category of children's playfulness, 5 aged children show higher marks than 4 aged children while 4 aged children show statistically higher marks in happiness expression than 5 aged children. Fourth, there is significantly positive relationship between father's loving attitude and children's social spontaneity. As father's controlling attitude is higher, physical, social, and cognitive spontaneity of children is higher. There is significantly positive relationship between mother's controlling attitude and children's physical spontaneity while there is negative relationship between mother's refusing attitude and children's cognitive spontaneity. However, overall there is not significant relationship between father and mother's parenting attitude and children's playfulness. / 본 연구에서는 만 4, 5세 유아의 아버지와 어머니의 양육태도가 연령과 성별에 따라 어떻게 다른지, 또한 부모의 양육태도와 유아의 놀이성과의 관계는 어떠한지에 대해 알아보았다. 연구의 대상은 교육 및 보육기관에 재원중인 만 4, 5세 유아 147명과 그들의 부모인 아버지 147명과 어머니 147명 총 441명이다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아버지와 어머니의 양육태도는 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아의 성별에 따른 아버지와 어머니의 양육태도는 아버지와 어머니 둘 다 거부적 태도에서 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 유아의 연령에 따른 아버지와 어머니의 양육태도는 차이가 없었다. 셋째, 유아의 성별과 연령에 따라 유아의 놀이성은 차이가 있었다. 넷째, 아버지의 애정적 태도가 높을수록 유아의 사회적 자발성이 높게 나타났다. 그리고 아버지의 통제적 태도가 높을수록 신체적 자발성, 사회적 자발성, 인지적 자발성이 높게 나타났다. 다섯째, 어머니의 통제적 태도가 높을수록 유아의 신체적 자발성이 높으며, 어머니의 거부적 태도가 높을수록 인지적 자발성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다.
