Abstract/Notes: Montessori education was born in Italy more than a century ago and today it is widespread in at least 36 countries around the world. In Italy, from 2016 to 2021, the number of Montessori primary schools more than doubled. This explanatory and exploratory research is the most comprehensive evaluation of Montessori education ever conducted in Italy. We investigated: a) the impact of Montessori education on academic and socio-emotional outcomes; b) the profiles of Montessori primary school teachers and the extent to which they implemented Montessori education with fidelity. The longitudinal study on the academic outcomes was conducted on 2nd, 5th, 8th and 10th grade students in two separate cohorts. The results demonstrate that, depending on the grade and the cohort considered, Montessori students achieve similar or significantly higher scores than non-Montessori students. In some cases, they achieve more heterogeneous scores, especially in mathematics. More heterogeneous scores were expected according to the hypothesis that Montessori education aims to develop the characteristics of each one and not to standardize academic outcomes. The study on the socio-emotional outcomes was conducted on 8th grade students and it demonstrates that Montessori students achieve significantly higher scores on the empathy scale. The survey on the teachers permitted to delineate 3 different profiles of them, thanks to a cluster analysis. Only the first group of teachers, which made up half of the sample, managed to implement Montessori education with fidelity. These findings highlight two main requirements. The first is the need to continue monitoring and guiding the diffusion of Montessori education among Italian primary schools, to improve and maintain fidelity. The second concerns the reaffirmation of the value of educational practices and the principles of Montessori activism as possible answers that are still valid to the new needs of the Italian school.

Abstract/Notes: The community center has a large classroom that housed a Head Start Program before that program moved to a public school. Providing for the educational and developmental needs of children in low-income housing and in neighborhoods that are economically depressed presents challenges both financial and logistical. [...]the results have been amazing! Even with the limited exposure to the Montessori environment, children have developed concentration, independence, care of self and the environment, social skills, and a love for art and music.

Abstract/Notes: Ofrecemos un estudio sobre la presencia y enfoque de la pedagogía Montessori en las revistas españolas In-fan-cia, Aula de infantil y Cuadernos de Pedagogía. Después de hacer un recuento de la totalidad de artículos que sobre esa pedagogía publicaron las citadas revistas hasta el presente, identificamos su enfoque y los temas abordados. Se encuentra una escasa, aunque creciente, presencia de artículos sobre la educación montessoriana. Al realizar el análisis de contenido, hemos descubierto que la mayoría de estos artículos se refieren a propuestas prácticas fuertemente relacionadas con los principios de la pedagogía Montessori. Considerados en su conjunto, en ellos aparecen todos los temas clave. Este estudio constituye un completo índice y una útil guía para aquellos lectores de lengua castellana que quieran introducirse en el estudio de esta original pedagogía. / This study analyzes the presence and approach of Montessori pedagogy in Spanish journals In-fan-cia, Aula de infantil and Cuadernos de Pedagogía.

Abstract/Notes: Vad har en förändrad barndom för betydelse för yngre barns lärande och utbildning? Denna rapport försöker förstå och förklara denna betydelse med hjälp av forskare från forskningsfältet Barndom, lärande och ämnesdidaktik på Lärarutbildningen på Malmö högskola. I rapporten tas begreppen barndom, lärande och ämnesdidaktik upp som sammanflätade och ömsesidigt relaterade till varandra. I fem olika artiklar presenteras: Förskolans ledarskap i en nystartad förskola ; Hur dokumentation och bedömning i förskolor med olika pedagogiska inriktningar kan se ut ; En översikt över historiedidaktisk forskning med inriktning mot yngre barn ; Svenskämnesundervisningens innehåll i skolans tidigare år ; En kartläggning av forskning om de yngre barnen i det idrottsvetenskapliga intresseområdet [What does a changed childhood mean for younger children's learning and education? This report attempts to understand and explain this significance with the help of researchers from the research field Childhood, learning and subject didactics at the Teacher Education at Malmö University. The report addresses the concepts of childhood, learning and subject didactics as intertwined and mutually related to each other. Five different articles are presented: Preschool leadership in a newly started preschool; What documentation and assessment in preschools with different pedagogical orientations can look like; An overview of history didactic research with a focus on younger children; The content of Swedish subject teaching in the school's previous years; A survey of research on the younger children in the sports science area of interest]
