Abstract/Notes: Ensuring equitable access to high-quality early education for families from all racial, ethnic, and income backgrounds is a critical component for addressing systemic racism and inequality within the public education system. This study examined one piece of this issue by investigating access to public Montessori pre-K, as well as barriers that may hinder equitable access. While many public Montessori pre-K programs report that students are admitted through a random lottery process, initial efforts to study these programs indicated that certain enrollment policies may create barriers to access. Potential barriers to accessing public Montessori pre-K include lottery priority status for siblings, neighborhood residents, and children of staff; a lack of targeted recruitment practices for families from underserved communities; and affordability. These barriers to access may disproportionally affect Black and Latino families and families facing poverty, who have unequal access to high-quality educational opportunities overall. The Montessori model was originally created to give children with learning challenges (e.g., children who exhibited concentration, attention, and discipline challenges) a high-quality educational environment where they could thrive. Given the origins of the Montessori pedagogy and existing disparities within the educational system, questions of equity should be at the center of policy development for accessing public Montessori pre-K.

Abstract/Notes: Children's first education begins in the family. The first step of education after the family is pre-school education institutions. Early childhood education period, on the other hand, is a critical period of great importance in which individuals acquire all the skills that they will use in their future years. Education programs implemented in schools are very effective in creating appropriate and effective learning environments, guiding children, and acquiring all the skills they will need in the development of the behaviors expected from children. In addition, the parallelism of the education programs applied at school at home is of great importance for the continuity of development. In this study, the views of practitioners on the effects of daily life skills activities in Montessori education on the hand skills and independent movement skills of 5-6 year old children were examined. The research is a qualitative research and it was studied according to the multiple case study pattern. The sample of the study consists of 10 teachers and 10 parents who applied Montessori education and paticipated in the study voluntarily in the central district of Samsun province in the 2021-2022 academic year. The data of the research were collected by the interview method, which is a data collection technique that can be done by using face-to-face communication and verbal or video communication tools such as the telephone. The data were analyzed with the descriptive analysis method. As a result of the examination of the data obtained, it was concluded that the effects of daily life skills activities on children's hand skills and ability to act independently are very important according to the teachers. It has been determined that parents prepare environments that will support their children's daily life skills in their homes according to this education program, together with their children's Montessori education. / Çocukların ilk eğitimleri ailede başlar. Aileden sonra eğitimin ilk basamağı ise okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarıdır. Erken çocukluk eğitim dönemi ise bireylerin ileriki yaşlarında kullanacakları tüm becerilerin kazandırıldığı büyük öneme sahip olan kritik bir dönemdir. Çocuklardan kazanılması beklenen davranışların gelişmesinde uygun ve etkili öğrenme ortamlarının oluşturulması, çocuklara rehberlik yapılması, ihtiyaç duyacakları tüm becerileri kazanabilmesinde okullarda uygulanan eğitim programları çok etkilidir. Bunun yanında okuldaki uygulanan eğitim programlarının evde de paralellik göstermesi gelişim devamlılığı açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Montessori eğitiminde günlük yaşam becerileri etkinliklerinin 5-6 yaş çocuklarının el becerilerine ve bağımsız hareket edebilme becerilerine etkisine ilişkin uygulayıcıların görüşleri incelenmiştir. Araştırma nitel bir araştırma olup, çoklu durum çalışması desenine göre çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında Samsun ili Merkez ilçesinde Montessori eğitimini uygulayan ve gönüllü olarak çalışmaya katılan 10 öğretmen ve 10 veli oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri çoğunlukla yüz yüze iletişim ile yapılan, telefon gibi sözlü veya görüntülü iletişim araçları kullanılarak da yapılabilen veri toplama tekniği olan görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır Veriler betimsel analiz yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilerin incelenmesi sonucunda öğretmenlere göre günlük yaşam becerileri etkinliklerinin çocukların el becerilerine ve bağımsız hareket edebilme becerilerine etkisinin çok önemli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Veliler ise çocuklarının Montessori eğitimi almaları ile birlikte bu eğitim programına göre evlerinde çocuklarının günlük yaşam becerilerini destekleyecek ortamlar hazırladıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori (1870-1952) hat ausgehend von einer entwicklungspsychologisch, soziologisch und anthropologisch orientierten Analyse von Kindheit und Jugend ein Schul- und Bildungssystem entworfen, das diesen Ergebnissen auf der Basis der von ihr entwickelten Arbeitsmaterialien folgt. Das Lernen geschieht in vier aufeinanderfolgenden Entwicklungsstufen von jeweils fünf bis sieben Jahren, mit denen aufeinanderfolgende Erziehungspläne korrespondieren: das Montessori-Kinderhaus, die Montessori-Grundschule, der "Erdkinderplan" und die Universität. [Maria Montessori (1870-1952) designed a school and education system based on an analysis of childhood and youth based on developmental psychology, sociology and anthropology, which follows these results on the basis of the working materials she developed. Learning takes place in four successive developmental stages of five to seven years each, with which successive educational plans correspond: the Montessori children's home, the Montessori elementary school, the "Erdkinderplan" and the university.]

Abstract/Notes: The present research is based on Montessori pedagogical methodology. Created by Maria Montessori, this is a set of theories, practices and didactic materials. According to Montessori, the most important fact is not the material or the practice, but the possibility of developing the child's abilities from the evolution of each. From this, the proposal is the development of a children's furniture - a bed - from the study proposed by Montessori, considering characteristics of child development, children's furniture and ergonomics. The projects a product that contributes to the child developing in its ‘natural time’ with freedom and autonomy. / A presente pesquisa tem base na metodologia pedagógica montessoiana. Criada por Maria Montessori, trata-se de um conjunto de teorias, práticas e materiais didáticos. De acordo com Montessori, o fato mais importante não é o material ou a prática, mas a possibilidade do desenvolvimento das habilidades da criança a partir da evolução de cada um. A partir disso, a proposta é o desenvolvimento de um mobiliário infantil – uma cama – a partir do estudo proposto por Montessori, considerando características do desenvolvimento infantil, mobiliário infantil e ergonomia. O projeto é de um produto que contribua para que a criança se desenvolva em seu “tempo natural” com liberdade e autonomia.
