Abstract/Notes: The article presents the philosophies of John Amos Comenius, Immanuel Kant and Maria Montessori. It focuses on problem areas that are particularly inspiring for modern thinking about peace and education for peace and points out a broad definition of peace provided by each of the above philosophers. Their theories go far beyond identifying peace with the absence of war and they consider peace to be a process that requires building and strengthening as well as the participation of all people, not only politicians. From this perspective, peace building becomes an important educational task. The basic goal is to ensure that individuals have the feeling of authorship and responsibility for peaceful coexistence among people. Only a combination of peace-reinforcing political initiatives with daily activities supported by education and aimed at promoting peace provides real chances to make the world a better place.

Abstract/Notes: Východiska: Článek pojednává o problematice výuky principů pedagogiky Montessori v kontextu rozvoje technického myšlení žáků a přípravy studentů učitelství. Rozvojem informačních technologií získaly principy Montessori pedagogiky nový a velmi aktuální smysl. Negativní vlivy IT, rizika virtuálního světa pro žáky mateřských a základních škol je možné kompenzovat efektivní výukou metodami pedagogiky Montessori. Přirozené poznávání reálného světa, získávání konceptuálních, procedurálních znalostí na základě rozvoje smyslů je podstatným přínosem ke zkvalitnění výuky technické výchovy studentů učitelství. Popisujeme jednotlivé principy výukových materiálů jakožto východiska pro výuku navrhování a realizace učebních pomůcek. Zveřejňujeme vlastní zcela nové učební pomůcky, popisujeme jejich metodiku a uplatnění, včetně praktického ověřování ve výuce mateřské školy. [The article deals with the issue of teaching the principles of Montessori pedagogy in the context of the development of technical thinking of pupils and the preparation of teacher students. With the development of information technology, the principles of Montessori pedagogy have gained a new and very current meaning. The negative effects of IT, the risks of the virtual world for kindergarten and primary school students can be compensated by effective teaching using Montessori pedagogy methods. Natural cognition of the real world, acquisition of conceptual, procedural knowledge based on the development of the senses is a significant contribution to improving the teaching of technical education to teacher students. We describe the individual principles of teaching materials as a starting point for teaching the design and implementation of teaching aids. We publish our own completely new teaching aids, describe their methodology and application, including practical verification in kindergarten teaching.]

Whole Systems Thinking: Education for Sustainability at a Montessori School

Available from: InformIT

Publication: Eingana, vol. 30, no. 1

Pages: 9-11

Abstract/Notes: Whole systems thinking is a framework for seeing the whole picture, for establishing interrelationships and understanding phenomena as an integrated whole. Systems thinking may be contrasted with fragmentary thinking, which is viewing phenomena in their separate parts and focusing only on narrow specialisations. In an education for sustainability (EfS) context this means emphasising relationships: relationships between all the systems on planet Earth, and at different systems levels, as they relate to the environment, economics, government, health, and so on. Values and goals are also important aspects of these relationships. Sterling argues that: 'We are educated by and large to compete and consume rather than to care and conserve'. Furthermore, the same author maintains that because of the imposition of managerial and economic values on education we have lost touch with the social values and real-life contexts of authentic education. With these ideas in mind, this paper briefly examines the application of whole systems thinking on an EfS program at a small Montessori primary school in the metropolitan area of Perth, Western Australia.
