Abstract/Notes: The primary aim of Montessori approach is to enable the child explore him/herself and free that personality; thus, a convenient environment has to be set for the development of the child. How parents, teachers and pre-school institutions set such environments is also studied within this research. Additionally, the effect of the Montessori approach on children that is used by the teachers at school is also observed. Therefore the researcher has made an attempt to focus on the Montessori approach in the preschool education. The Montessori Method is characterized by its emphasis on child-centered learning, individualized instruction, and the creation of a nurturing environment that fosters independence and self-discovery. The Montessori educational philosophy, founded by Maria Montessori, emphasizes the holistic development of preschool children, focusing on their innate abilities and fostering independence and self-regulation.

Maria Montessori and Roberto Assagioli: Parallels in Their Thinking
Abstract/Notes: In this critical co-constructed auto-ethnographic article we draw on research from two contexts, exploring how critical peace education can be more than palliative care in times of ecological collapse and profound crises across ecosystems. Examining the current crises of learning, living and being, we call for eco-peace-based education: grounded in interconnectedness and interdependence, as a way to transgress unsustainable violences on personal, interpersonal, and ecological levels. We focus on three main arguments that extend learning about nature, to learning with and in nature, towards regenerative approaches of learning, living, and being. Firstly, to move beyond the self-centered (ego) towards interconnected and Earth-centered (eco) epistemologies. Secondly, we explore concrete examples of alternative schools that learn from, in and with nature through fostering innate care between students and Earth (in our own contexts, India and Germany). Thirdly, we reimagine possible futures of eco-peace-based approaches, and argue for a shift towards more peaceful and interconnected futures by integrating eco-peace principles, content and pedagogies into current education systems.

Abstract/Notes: Is the achievement gap real? Using a mixed-methods approach, this study reframed standardized testing through a Quantitative Critical and Black Critical lens. It interrogated the deficit framing of Black student achievement by asking the following questions: (1) To what extent do the aggregated standardized test scores for Black students in California correlate with other measures of achievement? Included in this analysis are: (a) To what degree does the ratio of Black students relate to the achievement variables? and (b) To what extent did COVID impact this correlation? (2) What beliefs do Black educators have regarding the standardized test scores of Black students? and (3) How do Black educators define Black Genius? Data sources included a quantitative comparison of three achievement variables from 56 school districts over two cohort years (2017/2018–2021/2022), a questionnaire, and document analyses. “Groundtruthing” (Pérez Huber et al., 2018) was also used to verify the data with 23 Black educators. Findings revealed a lack of any strong correlation between the state standardized test to other, more meaningful outcomes for Black students. The study proffers three terms to frame the issue more accurately: Achievement Distortion, Connection Gap, and Black Genius. Groundtruthed by Black educators, Black Genius is defined as an intelligence that exists outside of the traditional, status quo, Western conceptualization of intelligence. Black Genius is rooted in Black community, consciousness, and our collective history, propelling Black people to achieve, persist, and make progress in the face of persistent anti-Blackness.

Abstract/Notes: Eines der wichtigsten Ziele der Montessori-Pädagogik besteht darin, die Fähigkeit zur Konzentration zu fördern. Diesem Ziel dient vor allem auch das „Gehen auf der Linie“, eine der bekanntesten Übungen nach Montessori und verschiedene Stilleübungen. Die Autorin beschreibt zum einen auf eine klare und praxistaugliche Weise deren Ablauf und zeigt, wie man sie am besten einführt; zum anderen erläutert sie aber auch eingehend den Sinn der Übungen, ihre Bedeutung für die kindliche Entwicklung und ihre Einbettung in den Gesamtzusammenhang der Pädagogik Montessoris. [One of the most important goals of Montessori pedagogy is to promote the ability to concentrate. Above all, “walking on the line”, one of the most well-known exercises according to Montessori, and various stillness exercises serve this purpose. On the one hand, the author describes their process in a clear and practical way and shows how best to introduce them; on the other hand, she also explains in detail the meaning of the exercises, their importance for the child's development and their embedding in the overall context of Montessori's pedagogy.]
