Abstract/Notes: This study used covariate adjusted regression techniques to compare the third-grade outcomes of low-income Latinx children who attended Montessori pre-K programs (n = 161) with those who graduated from more conventional programs (n = 4975) in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Children who experienced one year of Montessori education demonstrated stronger pre-academic skills at the end of pre-K and, in turn, performed better on standardized assessments of math and reading in third grade than those who did not. No differences emerged in students’ identification as gifted and talented nor in third-grade GPA. Taken together, these findings suggest that the benefits of one year of Montessori at age 4 may carry forward over time and to the extent that they do, these benefits are attributed to the fact that Montessori graduates entered kindergarten more ready academically. At the same time, however, the persisting benefits of Montessori were 60–70% smaller four years after program exit and were less robust than the end of pre-K outcomes.

Abstract/Notes: Education, especially early childhood education, is a responsibility that both families and schools share, so much so that children find themselves in two differentiated learning environments. Educational and parenting styles may join forces, sharing values and behaviours that enhance children’s development, just as the Montessori Pedagogy has shown. It is for this reason that the present study will attempt to analyse the relations established between the opinions and the application of the principles of such pedagogy focusing on the first six years of life, both in educational and family environments, considering the degree of commitment the school has towards the Montessori Pedagogy. / (Includes a Slovenian language abstract) Vzgoja, predvsem predšolska, je odgovornost, ki si jo delijo družine in šole, in to tako, da se otroci znajdejo v dveh različnih učnih okoljih. Vzgojno-izobraževalni in starševski slogi so se zmožni združiti, deleč si vrednote in vedenja, ki spodbujajo razvoj otrok, kot je pokazala peda-gogika montessori. Prav zaradi tega razloga ta študija preiskuje odnose med mnenji in izvedbo načel tovrstne pedagogike, pri čemer se osredi-nja na prvih šest let življenja v vzgojno-izobraževalnem in družinskem okolju, vseskozi upoštevajoč raven institucionalne pripadnosti pedago-giki montessori.

Abstract/Notes: Osannare o demonizzare le tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione digitale? Includerle o escluderle a priori dagli ambiti della formazione formale e informale? È epistemologicamente corretto accostare l’idea di educabilità all’uso di strumenti tecnologici? È traducibile nella pratica l’ipotesi di un’educazione alla “consapevolezza digitale”? Quale ruolo svolgono le famiglie in questo graduale processo di “coscientizzazione tecnologica”? Quali le eventuali responsabilità adulte nell’infausta degenerazione infantile dell’uso all’abuso dei media digitali? È possibile attuare delle “misure di protezione e prevenzione” nei confronti delle nuove generazioni? Sono, questi, alcuni dei quesiti a partire dai quali si ragiona in questo libro. La proposta operativa avanzata si radica nell’imperitura pedagogia di Maria Montessori e, in specie, nell’educazione al e attraverso il lavoro manuale, che, nell’assecondare i bisogni di movimento e di conoscenza connaturati al primo piano dello sviluppo infantile adempie alle funzioni cognitive e realizza la personalità dell’uomo futuro. Il bambino laborioso, dunque, è tutt’altro che immobile dinanzi a uno schermo. Egli diviene, progressivamente, in grado di agire e reagire in autonomia; pertanto, acquisisce “lentamente” le capacità critiche e analitiche che gli consentiranno, al momento opportuno, di usufruire delle potenzialità aumentative e migliorative della tecnologia.

Abstract/Notes: In a Boston Globe Sunday Magazine feature, the school was described as a "a scrubbed oasis," in a neighborhood of vacant lots and empty buildings, overseen by Gadpaille, "an angel priestess in red oxfords and a blue smock." Though she started her teaching career at private, predominantly White Montessori schools, including Rambusch's Whitby School, and as the founding director of Lexington Montessori School, Gadpaille's Montessori Family Center was designed for Roxbury's working-class Black families, offering full-day year-round childcare with half of the children attending tuition free through Head Start funding. Gadpaille envisioned a community of 150 Black-owned homes centered around a Montessori school serving ages birth to 18, and she recruited famed architect R. Buckminster Fuller, noted for his space-age geodesic domes, who skipped part of his Harvard reunion to volunteer the design.
