Abstract/Notes: L’opera di Maria Montessori è da tempo al centro di un vasto movimento di interesse internazionale, attualmente in ulteriore espansione, all’interno del quale è possibile cogliere direzioni di ricerca e linee di dibattito di notevole interesse, sia sul piano teorico, sia su quello più propriamente applicativo. Il volume presenta un quadro aggiornato della ricerca teorica e sperimentale sulla pedagogia montessoriana finalizzato a far emergere le dimensioni applicative meno esplorate dell’opera della pedagogista italiana. Il Centro di Studi Montessiani (Cesmon), costituito presso il Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Educazione dell’Università Roma Tre, sviluppa linee sistematiche di ricerca finalizzate sia alla raccolta e all’analisi di dati relativi alle applicazioni della pedagogia montessoriana, sia alla organizzazione di fonti e di documenti utili all’approfondimento delle conoscenze su di essa. Il Centro realizza iniziative di carattere scientifico e didattico rivolte agli studenti della Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione, agli insegnanti, agli studiosi interessati. Da due anni cura la realizzazione di un Corso di perfezionamento post lauream che si propone di approfondire le prospettive culturali e curriculari della pedagogia montessoriana nei contesti istituzionali attuali.

Abstract/Notes: A teacher’s understanding of themselves has a great impact on their emotional well-being and job satisfaction. Teachers who have a good understanding of themselves, have intrapersonal intelligence, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, emotional competence, a well-developed identity and self-concept. Teachers who have a good understanding of themselves have positive classroom management, teaching effectiveness, relations with students, self-actualization, and self-fulfillment. However, a teacher’s understanding of themselves is not something emphasized in teacher training programs. The research led to the creation of a handbook to help teachers understand their emotions, values, and beliefs to increase their effectiveness in the classroom. Participants reported that the handbook helped them increase their self-awareness.

Abstract/Notes: Parent-teacher partnership could dramatically improve educational outcomes for students (Bikmaz & Guler, 2003; Epstein, 2001). However, most teachers and parents lack knowledge and resources for creating this relationship (Christenson, 2004; Epstein, 2001; Henderson & Mapp, 2002). The interactive handbook is a tool for Montessori elementary educators and parents that addresses the common barriers to connection and develops a partnership to provide a continuation of lessons and values from the classroom to the home. The implementation is focused on the Montessori elementary context as it correlates to the "cosmic education" philosophy. Current parents and teachers in the public and private sector of Montessori elementary education evaluated the handbook, and their feedback was incorporated to be the most relevant and effective tool possible.
