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.

Abstract/Notes: Student behaviors were tallied in three similar Montessori early childhood classes while children practiced social, motor and academic skills with and without background music. Teacher impressions of work period productivity were tallied along with information from teacher notes and student self-assessments. Music came from Pandora stations such as “Relaxation Radio” or “Yoga Radio.” Music was selected for slow tempo (approximately 60 beats per minute or the rate of the adult heart) and relaxing instrumental quality, played at a soft volume and during times when students were not expected to pay attention to other auditory input such as stories, songs, lessons or announcements. Results showed that student smiles and productivity increased with background music, as did teacher and student assessments of productivity. Introducing appropriate background music can be a simple way to increase student focus. Further research will confirm if results are similar in classes of younger and older students and in traditional classrooms.

Abstract/Notes: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola asuh orang tua Kristen terhadap anak dalam menghadapi tantangan kemajuan zaman, sehingga melalui penulisan artikel ini dapat memberikan gambaran kepada orang tua agar mereka memiliki pola asuh yang baik  dan menjadi orang tua yang berperan sebagai guru yang patut diteladani oleh anak-anaknya. Untuk mewujudkan penelitian ini, maka penulis memilih metode penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif dengan studi kepustakaan. Melalui penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa zaman dimana kita hidup saat ini akan terus mengalami perubahan dan perkembangan, namun moral dan keimanan manusia semakin menurun. Perubahan atau perkembangan yang paling tren masa kini ialah perkembangan teknologi seperti smartphone. Orang tua adalah guru dalam keluarga yang seyogianya memiliki pola asuh yang baik agar dapat mengantisipasi dan menghadapi tantangan kemajuan zaman yang sedang berkembang saat ini agar anak-anak tetap berkembang secara utuh dalam rasa takut akan Tuhan dan mencintai gereja-Nya. Kemajuan zaman dapat berdampak buruk (negatif) bagi anak-anak jikalau orang tua tidak menerapkan pola asuh yang baik terhadap anak, dan sebaliknya dapat  juga berdampak baik (positif) apabila orang tua mendemonstrasikan pola asuh yang baik terhadap anak. Lebih mudah menjadi guru bagi anak sendiri daripada menjadi guru bagi orang lain. Dalam praktiknya orang tua Kristen dapat menerapkan sepuluh usulan rancang bangun pendidikan rohani anak oleh orang tua untuk menghadapi kemajuan (tren) zaman di abad ke-21.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian educator whose ideas and principles have validity in informing, understanding and responding to the challenges faced by contemporary educators . Many of her foundational principles are at the forefront of current educational thinking but are unacknowledged or unknown in mainstream education. It is argued that her ideas and principles about the spiritual wellbeing of young children have validity in the current debate. Montessori saw spirituality as innate in young children, the primary force driving their development and central to their capacity for joyful and deep engagement with their environment. She saw children’s capacity and ability to concentrate deeply as a spiritual pathway to a new level of individual consciousness and connection to the environment. These principles can inform our current thinking, understanding and response to young children’s spirituality. The conditions to bring about, support and protect what Montessori calls ‘concentration’ should be considered in pedagogical responses to the spiritual needs of young children

Abstract/Notes: Purpose: This article investigates the role of private supplementary tutoring in Denmark in light of the country's pedagogical traditions in schools and leisure spheres. Design/Approach/Methods: Although tutoring activities are increasing, the phenomenon is not as prevalent in Denmark as in many other countries. In this article, we look in to the history of Danish pedagogy for answers as to why this is the case. In the analytical sections of the article, we include research on parental values of child-rearing, as well as findings from a pilot study on Danish families purchasing private supplementary tutoring, the public debate about private tutoring, and contemporary youth research. Findings: With a solid emphasis on democracy and equality in Danish pedagogy, the conditions for increasing private supplementary tutoring in Denmark have been challenged. However, a current focus on global competition, formal competencies, and higher academic performance among children and young people suggests that providers of private tutoring perhaps face a brighter future also in Denmark. Originality/Value: This article addresses a new field of qualitative research on private supplementary tutoring in Denmark and may be a platform for further reflection and empirical research.
