Abstract/Notes: Albert Bandura, the leading pioneer in the study of self-regulation, has defined the term as the child's ability to self-educate, self-direct, regulate motivation, and learn to think about what she is learning (1994). Lev Vygotsky's theory that children can be taught to think independently about how to solve problems expands upon Bandura's work (1978). Though Montessori did not use the term "self-regulation," the descriptions of inner discipline, or "normalization," in her writings are clearly related to this concept. Because Montessori classrooms emphasize developing behaviors associated with self-regulation, Lander University's Montessori Teacher Education Program chose to focus on this as a topic of research in a 3-year study funded by a 2004 congressionally directed grant. Findings showed positive results for Montessori children in ratings of self-regulation and academic performance which affirm the effectiveness of Montessori classroom practice in fostering positive work habits and internal motivation. The authors hope that these results will lead more public school administrators, particularly those in small rural settings where programs of school choice are rare, to consider Montessori a viable option.

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: This study examined the impact of Montessori training provided to Assistants in authentic Montessori schools that are operating as licensed childcare centers. The study looked at correlations between the implementation of a Montessori specific training program for Assistants and how that impacted the active engagement of the children throughout the morning work cycle. The Lead Teacher in the participating classroom was asked to take a time sampling of the students' engagement levels every 30 minutes during the morning work cycle for a 2 week period of time. This quantitative analysis was completed to determine how many children were wandering, actively engaged, disengaged or actively disengaged in their work. After the data collection period ended, Assistants were given training that focused on the Montessori method and philosophy, classroom management, and feedback/expectations in their role. Post-training, the goal was to conduct another 2 week round of time sampling to analyze if the engagement level of the children increased. However, during the training period, turnover at the participating school increased from 3% to 33%, leaving the researcher unable to fully complete the training before conducting another round of time sampling. Interviews during and after this period of time indicated that the reason for the turnover was due to an inauthentic Montessori classroom feel (55% of respondents) and/or personal reasons (45% of respondents.) With further research, the root causes of the "inauthentic classroom feel" were narrowed down to difficult child behaviors, transitions of children moving from the toddler room to the children's house room, and, overwhelmingly, a lack of Assistant training. While the original research project was unable to be completed due to the staff turnover, the root cause of the turnover pointed to the necessity of implementing an Assistant Training program in the future. Not only would this potentially decrease Teacher and Assistant turnover in the Montessori classroom, but better retention and more highly trained staff would most certainly have a positive impact on child engagement in the classroom.
