Abstract/Notes: This action research aimed to determine if an equity audit of the Montessori social studies curriculum and learning about the researcher’s culture impacted professional self-efficacy and resilience. This six-week intervention and study was a self-study through daily regimented activities. Three weeks were used to learn more about the researcher’s own culture and history. Three additional weeks were dedicated to the equity audit process, where the researcher revised original lessons or created new, culturally sustaining lessons to augment the curriculum. The data collected was completed daily using four tools: an attitude scale, a guided questionnaire, a reflective journal, and finally during the three-week audit period, a curriculum audit checklist. The data suggested strong levels of self-efficacy and resilience across the intervention, though resilience wavered and lowered throughout due to its taxing nature. Additional supports and research can better support educators of color prepare for altering and implementing a culturally sustaining and anti-bias, antiracist Montessori social studies curriculum.

Abstract/Notes: In this study, we examined communication in the family and peer systems in relation to children's sociometric status. Codes measured turn-taking skills and utterance types for 43 children (ages 24-60 months) with mothers, fathers, and peers. Communication differences in the family and peer systems were strongest for popular versus rejected status children and their parents, but differences were also found for controversial and neglected status children and their parents. Rejected status children demonstrated turn-taking styles that included irrelevant turns, interruptions, simultaneous talking, and noncontingent responding. Parents of rejected children used higher proportions of requests than parents of popular children but failed to allow their children time to respond to the requests. Popular status children were more likely to alternate turns, provide explanations to peers, and participate in episodes of cohesive discourse. Interaction patterns were examined for potential mechanisms of transfer between family and peer systems.

Abstract/Notes: This paper presents the socialization in preschool-age according to Montessori pedagogy and emphasizes the three elements – the favorable environment, the prepared teacher and the child. It describes the child’s path towards socialization and how he/she builds his/her sense of community, by focusing on the absorbent mind, sensitive periods, movement, concentration, the development of willpower, character and intelligence, the process of normalization, and formation of self-discipline. / В настоящия доклад се представят характеристиката и спецификата на социализацията в предучилищна възраст през погледа на Монтесори педагогиката. В него се акцентира върху трите елемента – подкрепяща среда, подготвен учител и дете. Описва се пътят, по който детето преминава в своята социализация и как изгражда чувството си за общност – започвайки от характеристиките на попиващия ум, сензитивните/чувствителните периоди, движението, концентрацията, нормализацията, изграждането на волята, характера, интелигентността и самодисциплината.
