Abstract/Notes: Children's first education begins in the family. The first step of education after the family is pre-school education institutions. Early childhood education period, on the other hand, is a critical period of great importance in which individuals acquire all the skills that they will use in their future years. Education programs implemented in schools are very effective in creating appropriate and effective learning environments, guiding children, and acquiring all the skills they will need in the development of the behaviors expected from children. In addition, the parallelism of the education programs applied at school at home is of great importance for the continuity of development. In this study, the views of practitioners on the effects of daily life skills activities in Montessori education on the hand skills and independent movement skills of 5-6 year old children were examined. The research is a qualitative research and it was studied according to the multiple case study pattern. The sample of the study consists of 10 teachers and 10 parents who applied Montessori education and paticipated in the study voluntarily in the central district of Samsun province in the 2021-2022 academic year. The data of the research were collected by the interview method, which is a data collection technique that can be done by using face-to-face communication and verbal or video communication tools such as the telephone. The data were analyzed with the descriptive analysis method. As a result of the examination of the data obtained, it was concluded that the effects of daily life skills activities on children's hand skills and ability to act independently are very important according to the teachers. It has been determined that parents prepare environments that will support their children's daily life skills in their homes according to this education program, together with their children's Montessori education. / Çocukların ilk eğitimleri ailede başlar. Aileden sonra eğitimin ilk basamağı ise okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarıdır. Erken çocukluk eğitim dönemi ise bireylerin ileriki yaşlarında kullanacakları tüm becerilerin kazandırıldığı büyük öneme sahip olan kritik bir dönemdir. Çocuklardan kazanılması beklenen davranışların gelişmesinde uygun ve etkili öğrenme ortamlarının oluşturulması, çocuklara rehberlik yapılması, ihtiyaç duyacakları tüm becerileri kazanabilmesinde okullarda uygulanan eğitim programları çok etkilidir. Bunun yanında okuldaki uygulanan eğitim programlarının evde de paralellik göstermesi gelişim devamlılığı açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Montessori eğitiminde günlük yaşam becerileri etkinliklerinin 5-6 yaş çocuklarının el becerilerine ve bağımsız hareket edebilme becerilerine etkisine ilişkin uygulayıcıların görüşleri incelenmiştir. Araştırma nitel bir araştırma olup, çoklu durum çalışması desenine göre çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında Samsun ili Merkez ilçesinde Montessori eğitimini uygulayan ve gönüllü olarak çalışmaya katılan 10 öğretmen ve 10 veli oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri çoğunlukla yüz yüze iletişim ile yapılan, telefon gibi sözlü veya görüntülü iletişim araçları kullanılarak da yapılabilen veri toplama tekniği olan görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır Veriler betimsel analiz yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin incelenmesi sonucunda öğretmenlere göre günlük yaşam becerileri etkinliklerinin çocukların el becerilerine ve bağımsız hareket edebilme becerilerine etkisinin çok önemli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Veliler ise çocuklarının Montessori eğitimi almaları ile birlikte bu eğitim programına göre evlerinde çocuklarının günlük yaşam becerilerini destekleyecek ortamlar hazırladıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Abstract/Notes: Within the scope of Montessori education system, which has been widely applied in Turkey in recent years, “prepared environment”, “didactic materials” and “prepared adult” concepts have been frequently emphasized. It could be asserted that behavior management at Montessori classrooms is formed and arranged within the frame of these three basic factors. This study intends to determine the classroom management practices of Montessori educators who work in public or private preschool institutions’ three-six-year-old early childhood departments in Turkey and how they associate these practices with classroom management. The study was carried out in line with a phenomenological approach, one of the qualitative research methods, and the sample is comprised of 13 Montessori educators working in 4 different institutions located in Istanbul’s Basaksehir, Umraniye, Sancaktepe, and Sariyer districts. The data was obtained through individual face-to-face interviews and a follow-up interview by using the questions prepared by researchers. The findings were obtained by descriptive analysis. Data on the classroom management practices were collected under the theme of management of misbehaviors and 18 practices were identified under this theme. According to findings of the follow-up interview, educators associate the practices they apply for behavior management with classroom management within the frame of the prepared environment, prepared adult, and didactic materials. Future researchers can design studies to compare the practices of Montessori educators and educators working in different approaches towards misbehaviours.

Abstract/Notes: We explore the use of video and photo elicitation in a research study undertaken to understand the way in which preschool teachers perceive and construct their provision of children’s educational experiences. We explore the value of visually elicited interviews based on video footage and photographs captured during teaching and learning in four classrooms in two preschool settings in Kenya. Through visually elicited interviews, both the teachers and the researcher constructed meaningful conversations (interviews) to explore preschool teachers’ practical experiences and their beliefs, understanding and interpretation of developmentally appropriate educational practices. This paper targets the possible value of and contribution made by visual data generation procedures, as well as their inherent challenges, in order to add to the body of knowledge on visually elicited interviews.

Abstract/Notes: There is strong evidence linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and poor outcomes in adulthood both in terms of mental and physical health. Gaps in both the evidence base and research priorities still exist. These include understanding how to identify and assess risk in children who have experienced ACEs, and also the development and, importantly, the evaluation of interventions. Outstanding gaps include whether there are sensitive periods during childhood, the role of resilience/protective factors, the causal relationships, biological mechanisms and relative risk of ACEs for particular negative outcomes. ACEs affect individual children differently and chronic exposure appears to increase the risk of poor outcomes in adulthood, meaning interventions should also be tailored to the individual children, families and communities. Generally, there needs to be better evaluation of interventions and dissemination of this information to ensure that their use is evidence based. More input from affected communities, clinicians, funding bodies and Government departments is required to identify research priorities and ensure gaps in the evidence base are addressed.

Abstract/Notes: The architectural character of a building is based on different aspects. In order to understand the spirit of each building, we must study functional, associated and personal elements of it. Each architectural element differs in each aspect since each one is based on previous analysis and studies to be able to emerge and reach its purpose.The Montessori architectural project is based on research on the method of this system that provides environments prepared for the proper development of children in education. The classrooms, materiality, socialization, environments and spaces are studied in order to be able to generate and gradually form design ideas to generate the project in a successful way.It is decided based on the information obtained by previous studies, to use the neuroarchitecture design guideline to be able to meet the guidelines and objectives of this Montessori method, since this guiding concept goes beyond the study of space, but involves the emotions and feelings of the people who live the spaces. In this way, it is better understood that what guides us to the architectural design of the proposal based on the Montessori method are the studies of neuroarchitecture.

Abstract/Notes: An educational building must integrate smart building strategies to ensure indoor environmental quality. Thermal, acoustic, visual comfort and indoor air quality are to be considered, otherwise they can develop the sick building syndrome. Smart buildings solve this potential problem by providing a highly efficient living ambience that includes safety, comfort and a good quality of living/learning/working experience, that helps the users achieve their best possible performance. These buildings should integrate advanced technologies such as automated systems and the implementation of architectural skins, well and functional designed spaces and architectural features that act as active bioclimatic solutions. The following is a case study of an architectural project for an elementary and junior high school academic campus in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico that has to deal with the extreme climate conditions of the location, while applying the best alternative and bioclimatic strategies through the implementation of inmotics, a responsive architectural skin, sustainable construction systems and native vegetation. In doing so, a comprehensive environmentally friendly building is created, taking advantage of the surrounding natural conditions, using the latest environmentally oriented systems and technologies. The result is a healthy, safe, and productive space for its users that greatly benefits the teaching-learning process.

Abstract/Notes: Specifična slika djeteta u Montessori pedagogiji utječe na značajke Montessori odgojitelja, njegovu osobnu i stručnu pripremu te njegovu unutarnju pripremu. U ovom se radu analiziraju specifičnosti navedene pedagogije glede djeteta, odgojitelja i pripremljene okoline. Montessori pedagogija računa s periodima ili razdobljima posebne osjetljivosti kod djece i pridaje im veliku razvojnu i odgojnu važnost, a da bi dijete uspješno prošlo svaki od perioda, potrebno je da odrasli slijede i odgovaraju na potrebe djeteta. Na kraju rada istaknut ćemo glavne specifičnosti razvoja i poimanja djeteta prema ovoj pedagogiji. [A specific picture of the child in Montessori pedagogy affects the qualities of Montessori educators, their personal and professional preparation and their internal preparation. This paper analyses the specifics of the mentioned pedagogy regarding the child, the educator and the prepared environment. Montessori pedagogy counts on periods or times of special sensitivity in children and attaches great developmental and educational importance to them, so that, should the child successfully pass each of the periods, it is necessary for adults to follow and respond to the needs of the child. At the end of the paper we will highlight the child’s main developmental characteristics and understanding of the child according to this pedagogy.]
