Abstract/Notes: Survei Status Gizi Indonesia (SSGI) tahun 2022 melaporkan angka stunting sebesar 21,6%, menurun 2,8% dibandingkan tahun 2021 yaitu 24,4%. Namun Indonesia perlu bekerja keras untuk mencapai target 14% pada 2024. Kekurangan gizi pada anak stunting dapat menyebabkan gangguan perkembangan kognitif yang berdampak pada keberhasilan belajar anak dan mempengaruhi masa depan bangsa. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kognitif anak stunting dengan metode belajar Montessori. Dibandingkan metode tradisional lainnya, Montessori merupakan alternatif yang sangat baik untuk perkembangan kognitif anak. Tujuan penelitian : untuk menganalisis pengaruh Montessori terhadap perkembangan kognitif pada anak stunting. Desain penelitian menggunakan quasy eksperimen pretest – postest with control group. Kelompok intervensi yaitu kelompok Montessori dan kelompok kontrol yaitu kelompok metode belajar tradisional. Intervensi dilakukan selama 2 bulan. Sampel berjumlah 38 anak stunting yang diambil secara purposive sampling. Instrument yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner KPSP dan lembar observasi perkembangan kognitif Montessori. Uji statistic yang digunakan yaitu paired sample t test dan independent t test. Hasil uji paired sample t test diperoleh p value 0.001 pada kelompok Montessori dan p value 0.064 pada kelompok belajar tradisional. Hasil uji independent t test diperoleh p value 0.004. Montessori terbukti berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan kognitif pada anak stunting. Montessori melatih anak untuk mengeksplorasi dan menemukan lingkungan belajar yang tepat dan nyaman. Lingkungan yang nyaman akan menciptakan rasa bahagia dalam proses belajar sehingga dapat meningkatkan minat dan motivasi belajar. Terdapat perbedaan signifikan perkembangan kognitif anak dengan metode Montessori dibandingkan kognitif anak dengan metode belajar tradisional.

Abstract/Notes: The primary aim of Montessori approach is to enable the child explore him/herself and free that personality; thus, a convenient environment has to be set for the development of the child. How parents, teachers and pre-school institutions set such environments is also studied within this research. Additionally, the effect of the Montessori approach on children that is used by the teachers at school is also observed. Therefore the researcher has made an attempt to focus on the Montessori approach in the preschool education. The Montessori Method is characterized by its emphasis on child-centered learning, individualized instruction, and the creation of a nurturing environment that fosters independence and self-discovery. The Montessori educational philosophy, founded by Maria Montessori, emphasizes the holistic development of preschool children, focusing on their innate abilities and fostering independence and self-regulation.

Maria Montessori and Roberto Assagioli: Parallels in Their Thinking
Abstract/Notes: In this critical co-constructed auto-ethnographic article we draw on research from two contexts, exploring how critical peace education can be more than palliative care in times of ecological collapse and profound crises across ecosystems. Examining the current crises of learning, living and being, we call for eco-peace-based education: grounded in interconnectedness and interdependence, as a way to transgress unsustainable violences on personal, interpersonal, and ecological levels. We focus on three main arguments that extend learning about nature, to learning with and in nature, towards regenerative approaches of learning, living, and being. Firstly, to move beyond the self-centered (ego) towards interconnected and Earth-centered (eco) epistemologies. Secondly, we explore concrete examples of alternative schools that learn from, in and with nature through fostering innate care between students and Earth (in our own contexts, India and Germany). Thirdly, we reimagine possible futures of eco-peace-based approaches, and argue for a shift towards more peaceful and interconnected futures by integrating eco-peace principles, content and pedagogies into current education systems.

Abstract/Notes: Is the achievement gap real? Using a mixed-methods approach, this study reframed standardized testing through a Quantitative Critical and Black Critical lens. It interrogated the deficit framing of Black student achievement by asking the following questions: (1) To what extent do the aggregated standardized test scores for Black students in California correlate with other measures of achievement? Included in this analysis are: (a) To what degree does the ratio of Black students relate to the achievement variables? and (b) To what extent did COVID impact this correlation? (2) What beliefs do Black educators have regarding the standardized test scores of Black students? and (3) How do Black educators define Black Genius? Data sources included a quantitative comparison of three achievement variables from 56 school districts over two cohort years (2017/2018–2021/2022), a questionnaire, and document analyses. “Groundtruthing” (Pérez Huber et al., 2018) was also used to verify the data with 23 Black educators. Findings revealed a lack of any strong correlation between the state standardized test to other, more meaningful outcomes for Black students. The study proffers three terms to frame the issue more accurately: Achievement Distortion, Connection Gap, and Black Genius. Groundtruthed by Black educators, Black Genius is defined as an intelligence that exists outside of the traditional, status quo, Western conceptualization of intelligence. Black Genius is rooted in Black community, consciousness, and our collective history, propelling Black people to achieve, persist, and make progress in the face of persistent anti-Blackness.

Abstract/Notes: This study examines how Montessori practical-life-centered parent education effects the basic life habits of 3-year-old children as well as their mothers' parenting efficacy. Subjects of this study were 40 children and their 40 mothers at D kindergarten in J city in Jeonbuk province. Participants were divided into two groups of 20 one serving as experiment group and one as the control group. The tools used for this study were the rating scales of basic life habits(National Board of Educational Evaluation, 1995) and parents' parenting efficacy(Choi Hyngsung & Jeong Oakbun, 2001). The parents' education, two hours each session, was implemented a total of nine times. The data were analyzed by the average, standard deviation, t-test, and ANCOVA using SPSS 18.0 program. This study found that Montessori practical-life-centered parent education was effective at improving children's basic life habits and their parenting efficacy. These results could be utilized with teaching sources for parents who train the basic life habits of their children, and also these results can be used as resources for the parent education of childhood education centers. / 본 연구는 몬테소리 일상생활영역 중심 부모교육이 유아의 기본생활습관과 부모의 양육효능감에 미치는 영향을 알아보는데 있다. 연구대상은 실험과 통제집단 각각 유치원 만 3세반 유아와 그들의 부모 20명씩으로 총 유아 40명과 부모 40명이다. 부모교육은 9개 주제로 강의, 모둠별 발표 및 토의, 극놀이, 시범 등의 교수 학습방법과 평가로 구성하고 각 주제는 일주 단위로 2시간씩 실시하였다. 연구결과 가정에서는 물론 유치원에서의 유아기본생활습관과 부모의 양육효능감의 증진에 효과가 있었다. 본 연구결과는 부모가 가정에서 자녀에게 직접 실행하고 지도할 수 있는 능동적이고 주체적인 부모역할능력을 기르기 위해 반성적 사고와 실재 경험으로 이루어진 다양한 부모교육운영이 중요함을 시사한다.
