Abstract/Notes: The essay highlights the role of “La Montesca” circle and its main protagonist, Baroness Alice Hallgarten Franchetti (1874-1911), in triggering the initial internationalisation of Montessori pedagogy. Exploring the cultural connections gathered around the Umbrian circle—a true meeting point for refined souls suggesting an atmosphere of spiritual retreat—it is possible to discern a prophetic mark establishing the immediate confidence shown in Montessori’s challenge to education, devoted to driving wide-ranging spiritual reform. The “Franciscan flame” underlining Alice Hallgarten Franchetti’s approach within an extensive devotion to the ideals of human elevation and universal brotherhood reflects the pursuit of a spiritual light, around which modernist, neo-Christian, theosophical feelings interwove motivating drives and cultural languages. In this sense, the formidable support initially provided by Alice Hallgarten Franchetti in exporting Montessori’s pedagogy should be read and valued as the sign of a larger belief in human elevation, based on a confidence in the secret treasures of the child and embracing a cosmic sense of spirituality. / L’article destaca el paper del cercle “La Montesca” i de la principal protagonista, la baronessa Alice Hallgarten Franchetti (1874-1911), en l’inici de la primera internacionalització de la pedagogia Montessori. Explorant les connexions culturals establertes al voltant d’aquell cercle d’Umbria, una autèntica cruïlla d’ànimes refinades que suggereix una atmosfera de retir espiritual, és possible descobrir una empremta profètica que imprimeix la confiança immediata mostrada amb el repte de Montessori en l’educació, dedicat a impulsar una àmplia reforma espiritual. La “flama franciscana” que anima la conducta d’Alice Hallgarten Franchetti, en el marc d’un extens horitzó de devoció als ideals de l’elevació humana i la fraternitat universal, reflecteix la recerca d’una llum espiritual al voltant de la qual els sentiments modernistes, neocristians i teosòfics entrellaçaven els seus impulsos motivadors i llenguatges culturals. L’important suport proporcionat en primer lloc per l’Alice Hallgarten per a l’exportació de la pedagogia Montessori s’ha de llegir i valorar com el signe d’una confiança més gran en l’elevació humana, basada en la confiança en els tresors secrets de l’infant i orientada vers un sentit còsmic de l’espiritualitat. / El artículo destaca el papel del cenáculo de “La Montesca” y de su personaje principal, la baronesa Alice Hallgarten Franchetti (1874-1911), en el inicio de la primera internacionalización de la pedagogía Montessori. Explorando las conexiones culturales establecidas en torno a ese círculo de Umbría, un verdadero punto de encuentro de almas refinadas que sugieren un ambiente de recogimiento espiritual, es posible descubrir una huella profética que imprime la confianza inmediata demostrada con el desafío de Montessori en la educación, orientada a impulsar una amplia reforma espiritual. La “llama franciscana” que anima la conducta de Alicia Hallgarten Franchetti, en el marco de un extenso horizonte de devoción a los ideales de la elevación humana y la fraternidad universal, refleja la búsqueda de una luz espiritual en torno a la cual los sentimientos modernistas, neocristianos y teosóficos entrelazaron impulsos motivadores y lenguajes culturales. En este sentido, el formidable apoyo brindado primeramente por Alicia Hallgarten Franchetti para la exportación de la pedagogía Montessori debe ser leído y valorado como el signo de una mayor confianza en la elevación humana, basada en la confianza en los tesoros secretos del niño y encaminada a abrazar un sentido cósmico de la espiritualidad.

The Role of the Child Care Worker in the Treatment of Severely Burned Children

Available from: American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)

Publication: Pediatrics, vol. 50, no. 4

Pages: 617-624

See More

Abstract/Notes: Experience with 57 children suggests that the physical and psychological rehabilitation of severely burned children is promoted in a positive and child-oriented environment. It has also suggested that the child care worker, functioning as an integral member of the burn team, can help establish a more peaceful relationship between the child and his environment and insulate him, by means of repeated positive encounters, from the threatening and often seemingly hostile world around him, while preparing him eventually to meet it. Thus, the child care worker can offer to the child the critical support and understanding needed throughout the long period of hospitalization by helping create a more normal and child-centered environment.

Abstract/Notes: This article presents and analyses a didactic proposal based on manipulative material (Knobless Cylinders) used in a Montessori classroom of 3-6-year-old pre-schoolers. Choosing this material is justified in relation to the competencies/strategies/skills used during the development of mathematical patterning. Numerous studies emphasise the importance of patterns in mathematics and experimental sciences instruction from early childhood onward. However, there are several educational factors that have not yet been clarified, such as meaningful learning, the overuse of abstract visual patterns that are distant from the student’s previous life experience, etc. This article discusses the sequence of proposed activities and certain critical issues.

Available from: St. Catherine University

Abstract/Notes: This study sought the effects of educating parents on Dr. Maria Montessori's first plane of development in a mixed-age kindergarten classroom in Southern California, USA. Students withdrawing before completing the Montessori kindergarten year formed the basis for tailoring an action research project that informs parents about the importance of Montessori's first plane of development through the lens of Parent Development Theory. The researcher first explored past action research on relevant Montessori parent education studies. Next, twenty-five parents from a mixed-age Montessori kindergarten class participated in a six-week study. The research concluded that parents' understanding and valuing of the Montessori kindergarten year or final year in their students' early childhood education increased based on pre-and-post parent surveys and hands-on parent education experiences. The increase in parent knowledge resulted in the participants utilizing tailored information to make informed decisions about their student's kindergarten year on whether or not to keep their students enrolled for the full three-year period of the Montessori program. The researcher developed a more streamlined, focused, and comprehensive parent education plan than before the study began.

Available from: Universidad Central del Ecuador - Repositorio Digital

Abstract/Notes: El presente proyecto de investigación se realizó con el objetivo de analizar la manera en que el Método Montessori contribuye al desarrollo de la expresión oral del Idioma Inglés en los niños de Educación Inicial del Centro Educativo Margarita Naseau en el periodo 2019-2020. El sustento teórico se orientó en la aplicación educativa, materiales didácticos, rol del docente y la enseñanza del idioma inglés. Por lo tanto, el proyecto tiene un enfoque cuali-cuantitativo, de carácter descriptivo y a su vez correlacional, bajo la modalidad socioeducativa que corresponde a una investigación aplicada porque se basa en datos reales. Las técnicas aplicadas en esta investigación fueron encuesta a los docentes y lista de cotejo a los estudiantes del Centro Educativo con el objetivo de determinar cómo el método Montessori contribuye al desarrollo de la expresión oral del idioma Inglés en los estudiantes. Una vez realizado el análisis e interpretación de resultados se concluyó que la aplicación del Método Montessori así como ayuda al niño a ser independiente también lo ayuda aprender diferentes idiomas y además se determinó la importancia que tiene para mejorar la expresión oral. La propuesta en base a los resultados es la elaboración de una guía de actividades lúdicas que incluye la aplicación del Método Montessori y los diferentes materiales a utilizarse.
