Abstract/Notes: Experience of the Liverpool Middle School, Liverpool, New York, provides a rationale for organizing school systems to include ungraded middle schools. If, as evidence indicates, today's youth are maturing earlier, are more sophisticated, and are capable of greater accomplishment, then the traditional grade 7-8-9 arrangement does not meet the needs of ninth grade students while elementary schools can not meet the needs of sixth grade students. It is felt that grouping students by grades 6, 7, and 8 in the middle school aided solution of this problem. By introducing a multi-age grouping of students for each subject, each student's unique qualities and individual capabilities were recognized and given full educational advantage. This ungraded system required curriculum reform and flexible scheduling which were implemented along with a system of team teaching. Problems of team isolation, friction within teams, curriculum oriented outlooks, unwillingness to regroup students, and lack of evaluation of innovations were being solved. Progress made with the middle school concept indicates its viability. (TT)

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.
