Abstract/Notes: In our study we investigate the differences between the views of Waldorf and Montessori teacher trainers (NWaldorf = 8, NMontessori = 8) on the basis of structured interviews. The narrower, national relevance of our study is the Hungarian higher education accreditation efforts of the two school models, while the more general relevance is that we empirically test the theoretical distance between the two school concepts on a Hungarian sample. The aim of the study is therefore twofold: to identify the main theoretical differences between the two pedagogical approaches and to empirically test the presence or absence of these differences through the views of teacher trainers. Our results show that the teacher trainers of the two pedagogical approaches have partly moved away from their theoretical background and are divided on certain issues: Montessori teacher trainers are moving towards a focus on the development of large movements, while Waldorf teacher trainers are moving towards a better appreciation of science. As there is no state accreditation of Waldorf and Montessori teacher training courses in Hungary, we are also looking at the scientific attitudes of the teachers involved in teacher training.

Abstract/Notes: O objetivo desta pesquisa foi investigar como ocorre o processo de formação de professores para atuar no contexto das propostas pedagógicas Waldorf, Montessori e experiência da Escola da Ponte, com enfoque em cursos de formação para cada uma destas propostas. Os dados foram coletados através da participação da pesquisadora como aluna de cursos de formação para cada uma das propostas, ocorridos nos períodos de 2009 a 2013, trabalho de campo em escolas que adotam as propostas referidas, conversas com professores, sete entrevistas e um questionário, com professores e/ou formadores que atuam ou atuaram nestas propostas. Os dados foram registrados em notas de campo expandidas e as entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio e transcritas. O material foi interpretado e discutido de forma qualitativa, segundo um caráter etnográfico interpretativo. Todo esse processo foi apresentado através de narrativas que revelaram a experiência vivida pela pesquisadora tanto nos cursos de formação quanto nas escolas e, também, discussões que explicitaram como ocorre o processo de formação de professores para atuar nas três propostas, destacando como o ensino de Matemática foi abordado nestas formações. Foi realizada uma reflexão sobre os temas que emergiram. Na proposta Waldorf, destacamos os pressupostos teórico-filosófico-metodológicos que a embasam, o autoconhecimento (conhecimento de si mesmo), as artes e o professor de classe (professor generalista). No método de Maria Montessori salientamos os pressupostos teórico-filosófico-metodológicos que o embasam e sua consequente atualização, a importância da prática/estágio e o autoconhecimento. Na experiência da Escola da Ponte sobressaiu-se a formação centrada na escola (destaque para o círculo de estudos). A pesquisa contribui com discussões para a formação de professores que Ensinam Matemática, apontando, em especial, para a formação interior do professor através do conhecimento de si mesmo, vertente que é considerada nas propostas Waldorf e Montessori. [The aim of this research was to investigate how the process of teacher training occurs to act in the context of the Waldorf, Montessori and Escola da Ponte pedagogical proposals, focusing on training courses for each of these proposals. Data were collected through the participation of the researcher as a student of training courses for each of the proposals, which took place in the periods from 2009 to 2013, fieldwork in schools that adopt the aforementioned proposals, conversations with teachers, seven interviews and a questionnaire, with professors and/or trainers who work or have acted on these proposals. Data were recorded in expanded field notes and interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. The material was interpreted and discussed qualitatively, according to an interpretive ethnographic character. This entire process was presented through narratives that revealed the experience lived by the researcher both in training courses and in schools, and also discussions that explained how the process of teacher training occurs to act in the three proposals, highlighting how the teaching of Mathematics was addressed in these trainings. A reflection was carried out on the themes that emerged. In the Waldorf proposal, we highlight the theoretical-philosophical-methodological assumptions that underlie it, self-knowledge (self-knowledge), the arts and the class teacher (generalist teacher). In Maria Montessori's method, we emphasize the theoretical-philosophical-methodological assumptions that underlie it and its consequent updating, the importance of practice/internship and self-knowledge. In the experience of Escola da Ponte, education centered on the school stood out (highlight for the study circle). The research contributes to discussions for the formation of teachers who Teach Mathematics, pointing, in particular, to the inner formation of the teacher through self-knowledge, an aspect that is considered in the Waldorf and Montessori proposals.]

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this research was to study the curriculum development and implementation in kindergartens using Montessori and Waldorf approaches. The case studies were 3 kindergartens; one Montessori kindergarten and two Waldorf kindergartens. The data collection methods were participant observation, interview and documentation. The findings were: 1. Kindergarten using Montessori Approach The administrator played an important role in curriculum development and implementation. In curriculum development, the content of curriculum was adjusted to Thai contexts in sub-content of three main Montessori's contents for creating its material. In curriculum implementation, larning activities consisted of the set of Montessori activities and group activities which were a part of three main Montessori's contents, i.e., practical life or motor skill, sensory and academy. The group activities are also divided into 2 parts: one was content matter, and the other was a practice. 2. Kindergartens using Waldorf Approach The administrators played an important role in curriculum development and implementation. In curriculum development, the content of Waldorf curriculum was adjusted to Thai context by considering needs of children as well as the children cultural backgrounds. In curriculum implementation, learning activities comprised a play, a main activities, a circle and a story telling. A process of each kindergarten activity was different according to administrator's understanding, experiences and interpretation of Waldorf approach. / การวิจัยครั้งนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาการพัฒนาและการใช้หลักสูตรในโรงเรียนอนุบาลที่ใช้แนวคิดทางการศึกษาแบบมอนเตสซอรี่ และวอลดอร์ฟ กรณีศึกษา คือ โรงเรียนที่อนุบาลใช้แนวคิดทางการศึกษาแบบมอนเตสซอรี่ 1 แห่ง โรงเรียนอนุบาลที่ใช้แนวคิดทางการศึกษาแบบวอลดอร์ฟ 2 แห่ง เก็บข้อมูลโดยใช้เทคนิคการสังเกตอย่างมีส่วนร่วม การสัมภาษณ์ และการศึกษาเอกสาร ผลการวิจัยพบว่า 1. โรงเรียนอนุบาลที่ใช้แนวคิดทางการศึกษาแบบมอนเตสซอรี่ ผู้บริหารมีบทบาทสำคัญในการพัฒนาและการใช้หลักสูตร สำหรับการพัฒนาหลักสูตรผู้บริหารจะมีการปรับเนื้อหาให้สอดคล้องกับบริบทสังคมไทย ในส่วนเนื้อหาย่อยของกลุ่มเนื้อหาหลัก(3 กลุ่ม) ซึ่งเป็นแนวทางในการจัดทำชุดอุปกรณ์มอนเตอซอรี่ ในการใช้หลักสูตร มีการจัดกิจกรรมใน 2 ลักษณะ ได้แก่ กิจกรรมมอนเตอซอรี่ มีการจัดการเรียนการสอนตามหลักการแนวคิดมอนเตสซอรี่และกิจกรรมกลุ่มเป็นกิจกรรมที่จัดขึ้นโดยพิจารณาจากเนื้อหาหลัก (3 กลุ่ม) ซึ่งได้แก่ ประสบการณ์ชีวิต หรือทักษะกลไก ประสาทสัมผัส และวิชาการ มีการแบ่งการจัดการเรียนการสอนออกเป็น2 ส่วน คือ ภาคทฤษฎี มีครูเป็นผู้บรรยายความรู้ และภาคปฏิบัติ โดยเน้นให้เด็กลงมือปฏิบัติงานตามที่ได้รับมอบหมาย 2. โรงเรียนอนุบาลที่ใช้แนวคิดทางการศึกษาแบบวอลดอร์ฟ ผู้บริหารมีบทบาทสำคัญในการพัฒนาและการใช้หลักสูตร ในการพัฒนาหลักสูตรผู้บริหารจะมีการปรับเนื้อหาให้สอดคล้องกับบริบทสังคมไทย โดยพิจารณาจากความต้องการของเด็กและสภาพแวดล้อมรอบตัวเด็กเป็นสำคัญ จากนั้นจึงนำข้อมูลมาจัดเป็นเนื้อหากิจกรรมตามหลักการของแนวคิดทางการศึกษาแบบวอลดอร์ฟ ในการใช้หลักสูตร จะมีการจัดกิจกรรมการเรียนการสอนโดยผ่านกิจกรรมการเล่น กิจกรรมประจำวัน กิจกรรมวงกลม และการเล่านิทาน ซึ่งขั้นตอนในการจัดกิจกรรมแต่ละกิจกรรมของโรงเรียน จะแตกต่างกันไปตามความเข้าใจ ประสบการณ์ และการตีความหมายของผู้บริหารที่มีต่อแนวคิดทางการศึกษา
