Abstract/Notes: Ginny Sackett lists many of the universal attributes of the absorbent mind--pattern recognition, order, incarnation, the rules for language, and numeracy. Her essay borders on the metaphysical as it suggests that the mathematical mind is really a non-entity and is responsible for all aspects of knowledge acquisition regardless of the discipline of the inclusion of mathematics. The end of the first plane is characterized by a "third embryonic" period, which is the formation of character and society and adds to the purpose of the mathematical mind. The mathematical context is mentioned around everyday applications, but when coming back to the theory in "Psychogeometry," the principles of the mathematical mind belong to all of Montessori pedagogy, as logical, connected, and propelling spontaneous exploration. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA double theme conference titled "The Essential Montessori Mathematics and Strengthening the Montessori Culture: Public and Private Sectors," (Milwaukee, WI, Oct 27-30, 2011).]

Abstract/Notes: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a method that integrates catechetical, intellectual, and theological approaches with experiential, embodied, and liturgical ways of learning and knowing. This article examines CGS through the lens of the 2020 Directory for Catechesis. This study seeks to demonstrate that CGS succeeds, especially through its liturgical elements and application of Montessori principles, at the Directory's task of "initiating into the celebration of the mystery." By drawing from CGS's founders and from concrete examples of its approach, the article also argues that young children are capable of, and should be invited into, profound liturgical experience.

Doctoral Dissertation
Learning Processes of Highly Gifted Children in the Free Work of the Montessori Method - an Empirical Analysis on the Basis of Individual Case Studies in Montessori Primary Schools
See More
Abstract/Notes: The beginnings of the dissertation by Esther Grindel, holder of the Montessori diploma and former assistant at the Montessori Centre, also date back to this time. The survey analyses in an empirical way how and under which conditions highly gifted primary school children can learn according to their individual competencies and needs in the periods of Free Work, which is a characteristic way of learning in the Montessori Method. On the basis of four descriptive case studies of highly gifted students of a Montessori primary school typical structures of their ways of learning during the Montessori Free Work are investigated in a comparative analysis. The results, which are discussed in the context of current findings of the research on high abilities, are of great interest to both the Montessori schools and for the fostering at regular schools. A publication of the work as part of the series “Impulses of New Education” is in preparation.
