Abstract/Notes: This article aims to contribute to scholarship on the internationalisation of the Montessori Method. Training courses were central to Maria Montessori’s international impact. Two case studies of training offered by Montessori in collaboration with Catholic women religious are used to demonstrate a Catholic internationalisation of her Method. The first considers that with the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, in Rome between 1910 and 1914. The second, that with the Religious of the Assumption, in London from 1921 until Montessori’s death in 1952. More specifically, the article shows the significance of their classes as demonstration classes for Montessori’s international training courses. Participants of many nationalities and beliefs observed them, facilitating the initial and continued global implementation of the Method. The convent Superiors also achieved their own objectives. / Cet article a pour objectif de contribuer à la recherche sur le thème de l'internationalisation de la méthode Montessori. Les sessions de formation étaient au cœur de l’impact international de Maria Montessori. Deux études de cas d’une formation délivrée par Montessori, en collaboration avec des religieuses, montrent l’internationalisation dans les milieux catholiques de sa méthode. Le premier cas traite de la formation des Missionnaires Franciscaines de Marie à Rome entre 1910 et 1914. La deuxième explore celle des Religieuses de l'Assomption à Londres de 1921 jusqu'à la mort de Montessori en 1952. L'article montre la signification de ces cours comme modèle pour les formations internationales Montessori. Des participants de nationalités et croyances diverses les ont observés, facilitant la mise en œuvre globale initiale et continue de la Méthode. Les supérieures du couvent ont également atteint leurs propres objectifs.

Abstract/Notes: Bu araştırmada Montessori günlük yaşam becerileri çalışmalarının zihinsel yetersizliği olan çocukların öz bakım becerilerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın deneklerini 2019-2020 eğitim-öğretim yılında Aksaray ili Sarıyahşi ilçesine bağlı bir ilkokuldaki özel eğitim sınıfına devam eden üç zihinsel yetersizliği olan çocuk (hafif, orta, ağır düzeyde) oluşturmaktadır. Denekler, seçkisiz (rastgele) olmayan örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Katılımcılar ölçüt olarak, farklı engel düzeylerinin olmasına göre belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada tek denekli araştırma desenlerinden ABA modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel verilerini toplamak için "Öz Bakım Becerileri Değerlendirme Testi" kullanılmıştır. Nitel verileri toplamak içinse gözlemci sınıf öğretmenine uygulama sonunda sorular sorulmuştur. Elde edilen veriler, çizgi grafiğiyle sunulmuştur.

The subjects of the study consist of three mentally disabled children (mild,moderate,severe) attending a special-ed class in a primary school in Sarıyahşi district of Aksaray province in the 2019-2020 academic year. The subjects were determined by using the criterion sampling method, which is one of the non-random sampling methods. Participants were determined according to the different levels of disability as a criterion. In the study, ABA(Applied Behavioral Analysis) model, which is one of the single-subject research designs, was used. The 'Self Care Assessment Test' was used to collect the quantitative data of the study.

Abstract/Notes: Grazia Honegger Fresco was one of Maria Montessori’s pupils, and she built on her teacher’s theories on the development and care of the infant and toddler child. She completed lengthy studies demonstrating how deeply Montessori investigated newborn children from the beginning of her research on human infancy. Montessori and Honegger Fresco introduced groundbreaking ideas, including: the fundamental role of the caregiver–child relationship, the importance of a young child’s environment responding to their particular sensitive periods of development, and the vision of a competent and active child even in the birth to 3 age group. The chapter provides an understanding of how the adult can prepare for the life of a young infant.

Abstract/Notes: I review recent practices and studies of the Montessori method from 1979 and intend to discover some tasks for future studies. I researched fourteen files in the DIALOG database, and tried to find papers from 1979 using the key word "MONTESSORI". Sixty-seven titles of books and papers were output from the DIALOG database. I classified them into five large groups. Each large group was further divided into small groups. The following are these large groups, with the numbers of books and papers contained in each large group shown in parenthses. 1. Studies which compared the Montessori method with other methods. (27) 2. Practical examples which developed and applied the Montessori method. (18) 3. Studies about the Montessori method for handicapped children. (12) 4. Philosophical and theoretical studies about the Montessori method. (8) 5. Scientific studies about the Montessori method. (2) The group of "Scientific studies about the Montessori method" had only two papers, the smallest in number of the five groups. The Montessori method was created scientifically by Maria Montessori at the beginning of this century. During the following years the educational and psychological sciences have developed gradually. I think that the Montessori method should be further studied scientifically from the modern educational and psychological points of view. Scientific studies will clarify new aspects of the Montessori method and add new elements to it. The Montessori method will develop and be applied to various fields.
