Abstract/Notes: Bu araştırmada uluslararası Montessori öğretmen eğitimlerine katılmış bir öğretmenin anlatılarının derinlemesine incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden anlatı araştırma kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama sürecinde ölçüt örnekleme ile belirlenmiş bir Montessori öğretmeniyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler tematik analiz kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve ulaşılan bulgular üç ana tema “Montessori öğretmeni olma nedenleri” “Montessori öğretmeni olmak için alınan eğitimlerin özellikleri” “Montessori Öğretmen Eğitim Programlarının Katkılarına İlişkin Görüşler” altında açıklanarak kronolojik olarak sunulmuştur. Montessori öğretmeni olmak için alınan eğitimlerin özellikleri ana teması altında (a) NAMC Montessori öğretmen eğitimi programı özellikleri, (b) AMS eğitim ortamının özellikleri, (c) AMS öğretmen eğitimi programının özellikleri, (d) AMI eğitim ortamının özellikleri, (e) AMI öğretmen eğitimi programının özellikleri, (f) Eğitimcilerin özellikleri, (g) Anlatıcının aldığı programlara yönelik karşılaştırmaları alt temaları yer almıştır. Montessori öğretmen eğitim programlarının katkılarına ilişkin görüşler ana teması ise (a) mesleki gelişime katkılar ve (b) kişisel gelişime katkılar alt temalarını içermektedir. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen anlatılarda Montessori öğretmeni olabilmek için alınan öğretmen eğitimi programlarının genel olarak oldukça uzun süreli ve felsefeyle tutarlı uygulamaları vurgulayan yoğun içerikleri olduğu bunun yanı sıra anlatıcının (katılımcının) mesleki kimliğinde ve eğilimlerinde bir dönüşüm yarattığı görülmektedir. / This study aimed to examine the narratives of a teacher who participated in international Montessori teacher training in depth. Narrative research, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a Montessori teacher who was selected based on criterion sampling. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis, and the findings were presented in chronological order under the themes of "Reasons to be a Montessori teacher", "The characteristics of the training taken to become a Montessori teacher" and "Views on the Contribution of Montessori Teacher Education Programs". The sub-themes of (a) NAMC Montessori teacher education program features, (b) The characteristics of the AMS education environment, (c) The characteristics of the AMS teacher education program, (d) Features of the AMI educational environment, (e) Features of the AMI teacher education program, (f) The characteristics of the educators were presented under the main theme of the characteristics of the training taken to become a Montessori teacher. The main theme of views on the contributions of Montessori teacher training programs includes the sub-themes of (a) contributions to professional development and (b) contributions to personal development. As a result, it is seen that the teacher education programs taken to become a Montessori teacher are generally quite long-term, as well as create a transformation in the professional identity of the participant.

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 purpose of this Bachelor's thesis is to find out children's satisfaction with day care in montessori kindergarten Aurinkoleijona. This study is part of Verkonkutoja-project conducted at Turku University of Applied Sciences. The objective of this research is to create a patern to collect and process customers' feedback. It focuses on five to six years old children in Aurinkoleijona Salo Unit. ”Quality Game” adapted to the children's needs and abilities was used to collect the data. It contained 24 questions considering six themes related to day care: empathy, educational work, circumstances, reliability, responsiveness and assurance. The total of 11 children played the ”Quality Game for Children”: the test group of 3 children in Halikko Unit and 8 children in Salo Unit. The theoretical frame of reference for this thesis was defined in accordance with the quality of day care. It consisted of the facts collected from different sources. The quality of day care is comprised of the experiences of both clients – children and parents – and day care - workers. The quality of day care can be called intersubjective. According to the results, most of the children are satisfied with day care in montessori kindergarten Aurinkoleijona according to the results. Children are especially satisfied with the staff of Aurinkoleijona and its action. All the corresponders can depend on day care adults. Some of the children think that the adults do not have enough time for them. They also give criticism of the day care assignments. The present time and events has an influence on children's satisfaction. There are occasional events in the background of dissatisfaction. Concentration on the game and other children's opinions have an influence on the results. The results show that children are fond of day care theme days, but there is room for improvement. The results of the thesis and the ”Quality Game for Children” will be used in Verkonkutoja-project during next year. / Opinnäytetyöni tarkoituksena oli selvittää lasten tyytyväisyyttä päivähoitoon montessori-päiväkoti Aurinkoleijonassa. Työni on osa Turun ammattikorkeakoulun Verkonkutoja -hanketta, jossa kehitetään asiakaspalautteen keruu- ja käsittelymallia kunnille ja yrityksille. Kohderyhmänä oli Salon yksikön 5 – 6 -vuotiaat lapset. Aineistonkeruumenetelmänä käytin Stakesin Laatupeliä, josta olin muokannut lapsille oman version. Lasten laatupelissä lapsille esitettiin 24 kysymystä liittyen päivähoidon eri osa-alueisiin: empatia, kasvatustyö, olosuhteet, luotettavuus, vastaavuus ja varmuus. Lasten laatupeliä pelasi yhteensä 11 lasta: testipelissä 3 lasta Halikossa ja varsinaisessa pelissä 8 Salossa. Teoreettinen viitekehys työssäni oli päivähoidon laadun määrittely. Se koostui eri lähteistä keräämästäni tiedosta. Päivähoidon laatu muodostuu niin asiakkaiden – lasten ja vanhempien – kuin päivähoidon työntekijöidenkin kokemuksista. Päivähoidon laatua voidaankin kuvailla intersubjektiiviseksi. Tulosten mukaan suurin osa lapsista on tyytyväisiä päivähoitoon montessori-päiväkoti Aurinkoleijonassa. Erityisen tyytyväisiä lapset ovat henkilökuntaan ja sen toimintaan. Kaikki vastanneista kertoo luottavansa päiväkodin aikuisiin. Kritiikkiä herättää aikuisten ajankäyttö ja päiväkodin tehtävien tekeminen. Lasten tyytyväisyyteen vaikuttaa juuri käsillä oleva hetki. Varsinkin tyytymättömyyden taustalla on yksittäiset tapahtumat. Lisäksi peliin keskittyminen ja muiden lasten mielipiteet vaikuttavat tuloksiin. Tuloksista ilmenee, että lapset pitävät päiväkodin teemapäivistä, mutta niissä on kehittettävää. Opinnäytetyöni tuloksia ja Lasten laatupeliä käytetään Verkonkutoja-hankkeessa ensi vuoden aikana.
