Abstract/Notes: This qualitative study reveals the experiences of teachers who work in public preschools using their initiative and effort to implement Montessori education in their classes. Data were collected from five Montessori-inspired teachers from different cities in Turkey. Study teachers were well known for their Montessori practices. Since they were in different regions, they were interviewed by conference call. The researchers asked them to explain experiences related to difficulties they encountered while applying the Montessori method, as well as the outcomes they obtained. Results showed that despite reactions from their colleagues in terms of material procurement, activities, and teaching styles, they continued to practice the Montessori philosophy. Although this initiative is a difficult process, teachers willingly preparing and using resources and supports effectively can create positive outcomes for the educators, families, and children. The experiences and efforts of the teachers in this study will provide support to new initiating teachers and reveal the need to develop educational policies that support different educational approaches.

Abstract/Notes: A Montessori approach is known as a self-oriented, cooperative, and hands-on educational method. It was named after its’ founder, Maria Montessori beginning of the 1900s. This approach puts the child in the center of education and all classroom activities are led by the child himself. The Montessori Education programs encourage learners learn independently and develop their self-mastery. It provide children with opportunities to learn independently, allowing them to practice and learn new skills and nurtures each child’s full potential, so they become independent, confident and courageous learners that they were born to be. The main benefit is that it increases learner independence in learning EFL in the classrooms and foster children learn naturally through exploring, practicing in a prepared environment. Exploring this topic is very important because it will give teachers some new insights and ideas to implement it in their teaching practice. This leads to more effective and productive lesson, which would prepare them for success at school and in their life. This exploratory case study took place in Skopje, at Maarif International Schools. The data were collected using interviews of teachers, questionnaires of students and observations. The participants are all involved in teaching/learning process at the above mentioned schools where the method is being applied. The study concluded that the majority of parents and students have positive attitudes toward the Montessori approach, which leads us to future research on educating.

Abstract/Notes: The paper traces the influence of theories of J. Locke, J. Rousseau and the Abbe de Condillac on the development of educational programs for persons with mental retardation under J. Itard and E. Seguin. Itard's emphasis on sensory activities is discussed, as is his collaboration with Seguin. The effects of their work on M. Montessori, specifically on her stress on the senses of touch and vision are considered. Contemporary practices which emphasize sensory training are traced to these earlier theorists. Appended materials include illustrations of Montessori's sandpaper letters, Sequin's texture board and training apparatuses, and gymnastic exercises designed to improve perceptual motor development.
