Abstract/Notes: The present longitudinal study measured student adjustment to higher education, comparing 50 participants from alternative schools (Steiner, Montessori, New Schools) with 80 students from the traditional school system. We hypothesized that students from alternative schools adapt better, because of greater perceived social support, academic self-efficacy, and task-oriented coping styles. Measures were taken during the last school year (baseline characteristics), and at the beginning of the first and last terms of the first year in higher education. The quality of adjustment was assessed through academic results, and physical and psychological well-being. The following instruments were used: the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory by Spielberger (1983), the 13-items Depression Inventory by Beck et al. (1961), the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations by Endler and Parker (1990), and semi-directed interviews. Results show that students from alternative schools adjust better to higher education: they report less anxiety and depression symptoms, and show greater life satisfaction and academic achievement.

"...dass wir unser Bestes geben" Erziehen nach Montessori ["...that we do our best" Education according to Montessori]
See More
Abstract/Notes: Mit diesem Buch legt die Zürcher Kinderpädagogin Heidi Maier-Hauser den Nachfolgeband zu ihrem erfolgreichen Buch "Lieben - ermutigen - loslassen" vor. Einfühlsam beschreibt sie die Prinzipien einer Erziehung, die Kindern Selbstvertrauen und Lebensintelligenz geben. "Hilf mir es selbst zu tun. Zeig mir wie es geht! Und dann bitte lass mich gewähren! Ich habe das Recht, mich zu irren. Ich muss meine eigenen Erfahrungen machen, um zu einem gesunden und mutigen Menschen heranwachsen zu können." Kinder haben kein Anrecht auf perfekte Eltern, aber sie haben ein Anrecht darauf, dass wir unser Bestes geben - unter dieser Devise steht das neue Buch von Heidi Maier-Hauser. Und wenn wir unser Bestes geben, können wir auch loslassen und darauf vertrauen, dass unser Kind seinen Weg Schritt für Schritt bewältigt. Unsere Angst, das Kind könnte ohne unser stetes Eingreifen sein Leben nicht bewältigen, ist ein verständlicher aber schlechter Ratgeber. "Das beste zu wollen" bedeutet die Fähigkeit zu besitzen, in vielen Situationen auszuhalten und dem spontanen Bedürfnis, in den Alltag des Kindes einzugreifen, nicht zu folgen.

Abstract/Notes: In the classroom, teachers must strike a balance between direct teaching, teacher-led play, and student-led play. During the game, children can make the most of their creativity, language, social skills, self-control and other talents. The best learning happens when students are given a wide variety of activities and topics that they enjoy. Montessori education emphasizes helping children develop their sensory abilities. An organized, aesthetically beautiful and well organized Montessori environment gives children a sense of security and encourages discovery. Freedom of movement, choice and participation in independent activities helps children to discover their passions and potential. Montessori programs encourage the possibility of losing yourself in any activity. Having choice and feeling in control of the environment is associated with higher academic achievement. Children who have a regular family routine and are considered more organized show better results in cognitive, psychological and social development. In order to stimulate further research and better inform teachers about whether and why the Montessori method can be useful, this article aims to provide an overview of the evidence base for this method.
