Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this research is reviewing the effect of Montesorri and mandala education provided to preschoolers to visual perception behaviors. The sample of this study comprises 36 children between the ages of 5 and 6 who go to independent preschools. This study is realized by control without group pre-test – post-test experimental pattern. In data collecting phase of the study, Frostig Visual Perception Test was applied which was developed by Frostig (1961) as a pre-test and post-test data collection instrument. As a result of data analysis, it is determined that the montesorri education is significantly in favor of perception points of figure - ground distinction and space - ground distinction which are the sub-dimensions of children's visual perception behavior; and that the mandala education is significantly in favor of perceiving points of figure – ground distinction and space relations which are the sub-dimensions of children's visual perception behavior. In comparing the effect of Montesorri education and mandala education on children's visual perception behaviors, it is observed that there is a significant distinction in favor of Montesorri education in perceiving space and ground which are the sub-dimensions of visual perception behavior. / Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi dönem çocuklarına sunulan Montesorri ve mandala eğitiminin görsel algılama davranışlarına etkisinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmanın örneklemini 5-6 yaş grubu bağımsız anaokuluna devam eden toplam 36 çocuk oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kontrol grupsuz öntest-sontest deneysel desendedir. Çalışmanın veri toplama aşamasında öntest ve sontest veri toplama aracı olarak Frostig (1961) tarafından geliştirilmiş Frostig Görsel Algı Testi kullanılmıştır. Veri analizi sonucunda Montesorri eğitimi, çocukların görsel algılama davranışı alt boyutları olan şekil zemin ayrımı ve mekan ile zemin algılaması puanları lehine, mandala eğitiminin ise çocukların görsel algılama davranışı alt boyutları olan şekil zemin ayrımı ve mekan ilişkilerinin algılanması puanları lehine anlamlı farklılaşma gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Montesorri eğitimi ile mandala eğitiminin çocukların görsel algılama davranışlarına etkisinin karşılaştırılmasında ise görsel algılama davranışı alt boyutu olan mekan ile zemin algılanmasında Montesorri eğitimi lehine anlamlı farklılaşma olduğu görülmüştür.

Araştırma, ön test son test kontrol gruplu 2x2 faktöriyel desende yürütülmüş, veriler araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen Genel Bilgi Formu ve Montessori Eğitimine İlişkin Eğitimci Değerlendirme Anketi ile toplanmıştır. Deneysel süreçte deney grubundaki eğitimcilere 160 saatlik Montessori Eğitimci Eğitimi Programı uygulanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları, deney ve kontrol grubunun ön test puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığını; bunun yanında son test puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğunu göstermiştir. Deney grubunun ön test ve son test puanları karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı bir fark olduğu; buna karşın kontrol grubunda ön ve son test puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Söz konusu bulgular Montessori Eğitimci Eğitiminin Montessori felsefine ilişkin düşünce, duygu ve davranışlar üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bulgular ışığında eğitimlerin yaygınlaştırılması, eğitimlerin Montessori felsefesi ve uygulamasına hâkim, uluslararası kuruluşlardan eğitim almış kişiler tarafından verilmesi önerilebilir.

Abstract/Notes: The complex history of Montessori’s Method spreading in the United States was signed by some misunderstandings connected with the reform of the american education system. The Method wasn’t understood in its specificity, but it appeared, in the same time, an alternative or an application of the tradition of Froebel’s Kindergarten. In those years the American pedagogical reflection tried to create an alternative to the continental tradition. For this reason the Progressive Education critized Montessori (i.e. Kilpatrick) for her spiritual and metaphysical premises but this movement couldn’t realize this project and it was inevitably connected with the tradition of European Activism.

Abstract/Notes: Psikolojik dayanıklılık zorluklarla karşılaşan bireylerin mücadele etmesi ve bu mücadeleyi sürdürebilmesi adına önem taşımaktadır. Psikolojik dayanıklılığı yüksek olan bireyler karşılaştıkları zorluklardan kendilerine yarar sağlayabilen bireylerdir. Psikolojik dayanıklılık geliştirilebilen bir kişilik özelliğidir. Maria Montessori “Çocuğu çalıştım. Çocuğun bana verdiklerini aldım ve onları ifade ettim. İşte Montessori yöntemi budur.” cümlesi ile kendi adını verdiği yöntemini açıklamaktadır. Kendine has bir eğitim yaklaşımı olan Montessori felsefesi ile eğitim, çocuğu kendi kendine yetebilen bir birey olabilmesi için destekler. Bu araştırmada Montessori felsefesiyle eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılığı incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada 24- 72 ay arasında 20 öğrenci gözlenmiş olup, psikolojik dayanıklılığı oluşturan etmenler incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Montessori felsefesi ile eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılıkları; girişkenlik- özgüven, yardım alabilme, öz-düzenleme, akran ilişkileri, sosyal yeterlilik, bağlanma, mutluluk, duygu kontrolü, doyum erteleyebilme ve problem çözme becerileri başlıkları altında incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda Montessori felsefesiyle eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ek olarak Montessori felsefesinin, çocukların kendi kararlarını verebilen, bu kararların sorumluluğunu alabilen, çalışma özgürlüğüne sahip, kendine yetebilen ve kendini ifade edebilen bireyler olmasına katkı sağladığı gözlenmiştir. / Psychological resilience is important for individuals who face difficulties and sustain struggle in their lives. Individuals with high psychological resilience are those who can benefit from the difficulties they face. Psychological resilience is a personality trait that can be developed. Maria Montessori describes the method which has its name from her as “I have studied the child; I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it, and that is what is called the Montessori Method” Montessori philosophy, which is a unique educational approach, supports the child to become a selfsufficient individual. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of Montessori education philosophy on psychological resilience. This study was carried out by observing 20 students between 24-72 months and the factors that make up psychological resilience were examined. In this context, the psychological resilience of children who are educated with Montessori philosophy were discussed under these headings: assertiveness-selfconfidence, getting help, self-regulation, peer relationships, social competence, attachment, happiness, emotion control, satisfaction deferment and problem solving skills. As a result of the research, it was observed that children who were educated with Montessori philosophy had higher psychological resilience. In addition, it was observed that Montessori philosophy contributes to children being individuals who can make their own decisions, take responsibility for these decisions, have the freedom to work, are self-sufficient and can express themselves.

Abstract/Notes: Music is an integral part of every person’s life. Scientific research has shown the effectiveness of music in medical-rehabilitation contexts to the extent that it is considered, for some categories of people (disabled, socio-cultural, elderly), for the exclusive use of the psychotherapeutic field.The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the importance that music has also in the educational and didactic field to “exploit” its peculiarities, “beyond” the therapeutic component to include the many different contexts of life. Among these, the “digital environments” make music the protagonist of a “world 2.0”, within which, starting from the strengths of the differentiated Method of Maria Montessori, it is possible to create a union between pedagogy and musical education. The last section deals with deafness and music as a specimen, highlighting how theoretical and empirical research on this topic has dealt with it from a threefold perspective: on the one hand, music as rehabilitation therapy for deaf people; on the other, music’s contribution in the overall education of the deaf; finally, music as entertainment and its enjoyment as an expression of quality free time for deaf people.
