Abstract/Notes: This research examined five U.S. Montessori high school programs through a qualitative multiple case study. Data collected from school documents, students, and staff was used to characterize what constitutes Montessori education at the high school level, with the goal of informing Montessori practice at the high school level and providing a means for considering Montessori methodology as a tool for widespread high school reform. Findings indicate that it is not the specific curricular content that makes a high school program Montessori. In the school environments, there are family-like relationships between students and teachers, the staff focuses on supporting students’ emotional needs, students enjoy close relationships with their peers, and there is a culture of mutual respect and community cohesiveness.

Abstract/Notes: This study investigated students' attitudes toward multi-age classrooms, specifically examining differences in attitudes based on gender and grade level. The Multiage Attitude Survey was administered at the end of the school year to students in two multi-age classrooms: one classroom with 11 third-grade and 10 fourth-grade students, the other with 11 fifth-grade and 13 sixth-grade students. Results revealed no significant difference in attitudes based on gender. However, differences were found in grade level attitudes. Correlations between grade level and negative attitudes toward multi-age classrooms indicated that the higher grade-level students (fourth graders and sixth graders) had more negative attitudes toward the multiple groupings than did younger students in each classroom.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in young children's multiple intelligence and social behaviors based not only on Montessori and general programs of day care centers but also on their gender and social- demographic factors. The subjects were 329 young children (182 boys and 147 girls aged from four to five) from two day care centers in Cheongju city. The instruments used in this study were HAPI (Hillside assessment of Perceived Intelligence) to measure the surveyee's multiple intelligence and Park & Lee's scale to measure their social behaviors. The frequencies, percentiles, mean, standard deviations, Cronbach a, t-teat, F and LSD were used to analyze the collected data through SPSS WIN program. The results of this study are as follows: 1) As for young children's multiple intelligence, there are differences according to young children's gender, order of birth, parents' level of education and teacher's working period out of social-demographic factors. 2) As for the young children's social behavior, there are differences according to young children's gender, mother's level of education and teacher's working period out of social-demographic factors.

Abstract/Notes: Te Whāriki: He Whāriki Mātauranga mō ngā Mokopuna o Aotearoa: Early Childhood Curriculum (Te Whāriki) (Ministry of Education [MoE], 2017) states that holistic development sees the child as a whole, encompassing all dimensions of children's learning and development. What holistic development looks like in practice, however, is left open-ended in Te Whāriki (MoE, 2017). It can therefore be difficult for the practitioner to know what holistic development entails and how it can be practiced. There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to holistic learning and development, and with this in mind, the authors will explore what holistic development involves and more specifically how it is practised in a range of teaching approaches.

Abstract/Notes: Comment, au début du vingtième siècle, la méthode d’éducation des très jeunes enfants, conçue en Italie par la docteure en médecine et pédagogue Maria Montessori, a-t-elle diffusé en France et grâce à qui ? Telle est la question à laquelle nous tentons de répondre. Notre étude identifie d’abord les individus – au premier rang desquels une quinzaine d’éducatrices – qui, en France, avant 1914 et jusqu’au retour de la paix, ont diffusé cette méthode par des écrits, des conférences et surtout des expériences princeps. Puis, elle montre l’arrière-fond culturel et institutionnel et les valeurs (internationalité, engagement féministe et spiritualiste, compétence professionnelle) qui ont conditionné leur action. / How, at the beginning of the twentieth century, did the method of educating very young children conceived in Italy by the physician and educator Maria Montessori spread in France, and thanks to whom? This is the question that our study attempts to answer. It identifies the individuals−including some fifteen educators−who, in France, before 1914 and until the return of peace, disseminated this method through writings, conferences, and, above all, through pioneering experiences. It also shows the cultural and institutional background and the values (internationality, feminist and spiritualist commitment, professional skill) that conditioned their action.
