Abstract/Notes: The recent fascination with economic success has permeated the educational milieu and has created a situation where product of the enterprise dominates process. A prominent result has been a standardization of educational practice as reflected in curriculum design and teaching methods. The central objective of this thesis is to show that while the nature and reliability of the teaching methods is critical, what is equally important for the efficiency of the educational process are the personal qualities, both moral and spiritual, of the student. In this regard, it is suggested that the Montessori model of pedagogy offers a fresh perspective through its recognition of the child's unique capacities and motivations. It is argued that the Montessori philosophy of education represents a well-balanced, child-centred learning tool which effectively avoids imposing an adult frame of reference on the child.

Abstract/Notes: Spirituality is an important dimension of the holistic development of young children, much like autonomy, resilience and responsibility. Unfortunately, it often remains as a forgotten area in early childhood education in many cultures (Zhang, 2012). Many people simply could not articulate the concept of spirituality concretely and some may confuse it with religion. Sokanovic and Muller (1999) pointed out that the definition of the term spirituality has little consensus of opinion throughout society, and has even, in specialised fields such as education, academia and religion sectors, various definitions. To explore the specific meaning of spirituality would be not only meaningful but of great significance for our understanding of the tenet of early childhood education and the national curriculum of New Zealand, Te Whāriki. Furthermore, spirituality is also a frequently discussed topic in many philosophies of early childhood education. For example, spiritual self or inner spirituality is recognised by Froebel and Pestalozzi (Froebel Web, 2014; Bruehlmeier, 2014), while spiritual development is further explored and integrated in teaching practices by Montessori and Steiner (Weinberg, 2009; Ullrich, 1994). Therefore, the task of this article is to try to define the term “spirituality” in the context of early childhood education, and explore spirituality as presented in the work of two early childhood theorists. Later, this article will also critically examine the aspect of spirituality in my own childhood education in China, and in relation to other contexts.
