Abstract/Notes: Das Interesse an Bildung, Betreuung und Erziehung von Kindern in den ersten Lebensjahren gewinnt stetig an Bedeutung. Seit den ersten Ergebnissen der Pisa Studie ist die frühkindliche Bildung in das Interesse der Politik und somit der Öffentlichkeit gelangt. Hirnforscher bestätigen heute, was Maria Montessori 1907 in ihrem ersten Kinderhaus in San Lorenzo (Rom) beobachtete und entwickelte. In dem Buch werden die Theorie und Praxis der Arbeit im Kinderhaus entfaltet. [The interest in education, care and upbringing of children in the first years of life is becoming increasingly important. Since the first results of the Pisa study, early childhood education has attracted the attention of politicians and thus of the public. Brain researchers today confirm what Maria Montessori observed and developed in 1907 in her first children's home in San Lorenzo (Rome). The book unfolds the theory and practice of working in the children's home.]

Abstract/Notes: Providing education for children residing in remote or difficult-to-access locations, including children in refugee and displacement camps, is a staggering global challenge. In addition to logistical challenges (such as access, infrastructure, teaching professionals and resources), differences in language, culture, environment, and values render conventional (i.e., Western-based, traditional) modes of education unfeasible and frequently ineffective. However, a strengths-based lens reminds us that communities have the capacity to initiate solutions when they have access to the right tools. Historically underrepresented in the literature, Montessori education has been used for over a century by communities all over the world to prepare children through academic and developmental growth to contribute to their local and global societies. Using constructivist grounded theory methodology (Charmaz, 2014) this study explored the application of Montessori philosophy and methods in diverse settings around the world. Analyses were informed by more than two years of fieldwork (including ethnographic inquiry) and conducted from 34 interviews with practitioners (N = 31) in 14 countries to understand where (contexts), why (purposes), and how (processes) the Montessori approach was applied. Final theoretical models were derived from the findings, depicting the ways in which the Montessori approach was applied in diverse settings, including the strengths and challenges involved in that process. Final models illustrated both processes of implementation across settings and the spectrum of application initiated by Montessori philosophy, methodology, and praxis. This study contributes to the literature on global education and Montessori education by informing policy makers, leaders, trainers, practitioners, and communities how Montessori theories of human development may be applied through principles, practices, and methods in diverse and under-resourced locations to serve the academic and holistic development of children via community-based initiatives.
