Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori’s Il Metodo della Pedagogia Scientifica was published at the end of the 1910s. The text enjoyed great success after its publication, both in Italy and abroad. Over the course of the following decades, this work underwent numerous changes: various editions were published and numerous translations made, while the author herself added many sections and deleted others from the original draft. In this essay, I examine the first three editions of Il Metodo to analyze the changes that were made and their relation to the advent of fascism. This essay, divided into three distinct parts that follow the first three editions of the work, explores how Montessori was conditioned by fascism and how fascist educators both perceived her work and influenced the changes made to the text.

Abstract/Notes: Mentioned in AMI 2009 - The Montessori movement recently celebrated a century of international education, spanning from early childhood through to tertiary experience. The first Casa dei Bambini, or children's house, was opened in Rome, Italy, on 6 January 1907, and within three years the influence of Montessori education began to reach New Zealand shores. This article outlines the Montessori approach to early childhood curriculum in general, and discusses findings from a small research project examining mathematical concept development in children prior to school entry. Initial findings of the project indicate that the Montessori approach may have a positive impact on children's numeracy knowledge and strategies at age five. This research arose from the involvement of the authors of this paper in the development and delivery of teacher education degrees at early childhood education (ECE) and primary levels that include a Montessori specialty in their final year. Our experience in sharing both the Numeracy Development Project and the Montessori mathematics curriculum has resulted in many discovery moments for our students. This has led us to suggest that wider understanding and dissemination of Montessori curriculum ideas may help to progress discussion on early mathematics development.

Abstract/Notes: The Montessori Method is accepted as an alternative education model today. Although it was spread out in USA at the beginning of the 20th century, it is currently used and accepted all over the world. Although its application in pre-education is common, it has also been adopted and applied at different levels. The Montessori method differs from traditional education not only in terms of approach to students, teachers, discipline, and school environment, but also in the way it uses certain materials in its education. According to Maria Montessori, kids should be at the center of education, and the duty of teacher is to observe and guide children. The Montessori method, which is mostly applied in general education, is also used in the education of religion, values, and morals. In this study, besides Maria Montessori's thoughts on general education, her thoughts on religious education are also discussed. This research focuses on Montessori schools in Indiana, United States -. In this study, the qualitative research method and the phenomenological approach are adopted. Observation, interview, and document analysis are used as data collection tools. The subject of the study is the discussion of the Montessori method in terms of research results in religion, values and moral education and Montessori’s point of view on the subject. All participants, who work as instructors in Montessori schools, determined by maximum diversity and snowball sampling, Observation in Montessori schools and the program of one of them is used as an aid in the interpretation of the research findings. / Montessori eğitim metodu, özellikle okul öncesi eğitim olmak üzere, eğitimin farklı kademelerinde benimsenmiş ve uygulanmıştır. Montessori eğitim metodunun, geleneksel eğitimden öğrenci, öğretmen, disiplin, okul ortamı, kullanılan materyaller ve gelişim özelliklerine yaklaşım noktasında farklılaştığı kabul edilmektedir. Daha çok genel eğitimde uygulanan Montessori metodu, din, değer ve ahlak eğitiminde de kullanılmaktadır. Bu araştırma, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Indiana Eyaleti’nde bulunan Montessori okullarını konu edinmektedir. Çalışmada, nitel araştırma yöntemi kapsamında fenomenolojik yaklaşım benimsenmiş olup, veri toplama aracı olarak gözlem, görüşme ve doküman incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın konusu, maksimum çeşitlilik ve kartopu yoluyla seçilen Montessori eğitmenlerinden oluşan çalışma grubu ile Montessori metodunda din, değer ve ahlak eğitimini tartışmaktır. Araştırmaya katılan Montessori okullarında yapılan gözlemler ve bir okula ait program incelemesi araştırma bulgularının yorumlarında yardımcı olarak kullanılmıştır.
