Abstract/Notes: Les approches centrées sur la personne constituent un modèle d’accompagnement des personnes âgées présentant des troubles cognitifs en plein développement au cours des dernières années. Ses bénéfices ont été bien documentés, mais la mise en œuvre concrète de ses grands principes reste parfois floue. Dans ce contexte, la méthode Montessori adaptée aux personnes âgées en constitue une des propositions d’application concrète. Elle intègre la vision et les grands principes humanistes de la pédagogie scientifique de Maria Montessori et des outils et techniques de réhabilitation. Elle vise à redonner à la personne du contrôle sur sa vie, à favoriser son engagement dans des activités porteuses de sens et à lui redonner une place et un rôle dans la communauté. Dans cette revue de littérature, nous aborderons dans un premier temps de manière générale le courant des approches centrées sur la personne, puis nous présenterons de manière plus détaillée l’historique et les principes de la méthode Montessori adaptée aux personnes âgées afin d’en proposer une vision claire et structurée. [Person-centered approaches are a model of support for older people with cognitive disorders that have been developing in recent years. Its benefits have been well documented, but the concrete implementation of its main principles sometimes remains unclear. In this context, the Montessori method adapted to the elderly constitutes one of the proposals for concrete application. It integrates the vision and the main humanist principles of the scientific pedagogy of Maria Montessori and the tools and techniques of rehabilitation. It aims to give the person back control over his life, to encourage his involvement in meaningful activities and to give him back a place and a role in the community. In this literature review, we will first approach the current of person-centered approaches in a general way, then we will present in more detail the history and principles of the Montessori method adapted to the elderly in order to propose a clear and structured vision.]

Abstract/Notes: Schools following the Montessori method use individual and small-group teaching methods and hands-on, concrete materials to provide a basis for deep learning of mathematical concepts. Schools with a mostly traditional approach to mathematics teaching mainly use large-group lecture methods with little use of manipulative materials. This study investigated the understanding of place value concepts and abilities of Montessori students by comparing task responses of 93 students in grades 1-3 in a Montessori school (n=47) and in a mostly traditional comparison school (n=46). Data collection included clinical interviews with each student. The theoretical framework used in the study was taken from Zoltan Dienes, a mathematician, who believed that mathematics is learned and created by forming layers of abstract generalizations. Interview tasks were both gathered from the literature and created by the researcher. Procedural tasks included those that asked students to count, to identify the value of digits in a number, and to use the standard addition algorithm for multidigit numbers. Conceptual tasks included those that required students to solve two-digit addition and missing addend questions with and without materials and to solve word problems involving three- and four-digit numbers. Some tasks included large numbers into the thousands because Dienes' framework calls for increasingly abstract generalizations, which for place value means larger and larger numbers.

Abstract/Notes: Okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukların gelişimi ve istenilen düzeyde ilerleme kaydedilmesi, devam ettikleri okullarda almış oldukları eğitim hizmetinin niteliği ile yakından ilişkilidir. Çocukların, diğer yetişkinler gibi yaşamlarını bağımsız olarak sürdürebilmeleri için günlük yaşamdaki bazı davranışları öğrenmeleri gerekir. Yetişkin bireyler bilinçli bir şekilde, kararlı ve istekli kararlar vererek öğrenirler. Çocukların gelişimlerinde sağlam temeller oluşturmak için etkili öğretim yaklaşımı seçiminin, fiziksel ortam seçiminin, materyallerle öğretimin önemli bir yeri ve eğitici bir etkisi vardır. Montessori ile Fen, Teknoloji, Mühendislik ve Matematik (STEM) eğitim yaklaşımlarının okul öncesi eğitim programında ne derece uygulanabileceğini, benzer ve farklı yönlerini öğretmen görüşleri ile belirlemektir. Çalışma grubunu 2016-2017 eğitim öğretim yılında Batman ilinde bulunan Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı bünyesinde ki bağımsız anaokulları ile ilk ve orta dereceli okullar bünyesinde yer alan ana sınıflarında eğitim öğretim veren 14 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma nitel desenlenmiş olup, veri toplama yöntemi olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılmış, “içerik analizi” yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, okul öncesi öğretmenleri, Montessori eğitim yöntemini bilmekte ancak STEM eğitim yaklaşımından ilk defa bu araştırma sayesinde haberdar olmuşlardır. Her iki yöntem için de ortaya çıkan en önemli eksiklikler; çocuklar için önceden hazırlanmış bir çevrenin olmayışı buna bağlı olarak kendi kendini geliştirebileceği şekilde hareket ve faaliyet özgürlüğü imkanının bulunmayışı aynı zamanda okulun fiziki yapısının da çocukların gelişimini engellediği ifade edilmiştir. Çocukların bireysel ilgi ve eğilimlerine göre bağımsız olarak seçip çalışabilecekleri materyallerin bulunmayışı nitelikli eğitim almaları önündeki engellerdir. Genel bir değerlendirme yapıldığında v öğretmenlerin araştırmaya ilgi gösterdiği ve yeni yaklaşımlarla ilgili fikirlerinin olumlu yönde değiştiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. / The development of the children in the pre-school period and progress at the desired level are closely related to the quality of the education they have received in the schools they attend. Children, like other adults, need to learn some behaviors in everyday life so that they can survive independently. Adult individuals learn consciously by making resolute and willing decisions. The choice of effective teaching approach, the choice of physical environment, an important place to teach materials, and educational effects are important for building solid foundations in children's development. Montessori teaches the extent to which science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curricula can be applied in pre-school education programs. The working group constitutes 14 pre-school teachers who provide education in independent kindergartens within the Ministry of National Education in the province of Batman in 2016-2017 educational year and primary classes in primary and secondary schools. The research was qualitatively designed. The semi-structured interview technique was used as the data collection method and "content analysis" was performed. According to the findings, pre-school teachers know Montessori education method but they became aware of STEM education approach for the first time thanks to this research. The most important shortcomings of both methods are; it is stated that the absence of a pre-prepared environment for children, the possibility of freedom and activity in such a way that it can develop itself and at the same time the physical structure of the school prevents the development of children. The lack of materials that children can choose and work independently of their individual interests and tendencies are a barrier to qualified education. When a general evaluation is made, it has been reached that the teachers have shown interest in the research and their ideas about the new approaches changed positively.

Abstract/Notes: This paper presents an updated list of schools that report applying the Montessori method in Catalonia. To introduce the study, the paper recalls the historical background to the arrival and the development of the Montessori method in region, a process abruptly interrupted by the civil war. After providing the historical context, the paper presents the results of an empirical survey that, based on different sources, identifies the Montessori schools in Catalonia and estimates the number of pupils who have studied there in recent years. The survey identifies 22 Montessori schools, of which: a) five are affiliated to the AME (the Spanish Montessori Association); b) 13 that are not affiliated, but have Montessori-trained teachers and appear to have chosen an exclusively or predominantly Montessori education; and c) four that have opted for a Montessori education integrated with other educational approaches. The study suggests the need to continue monitoring the development, quality and effectiveness of the application of the Montessori method in Catalonia, in order to promote an educational philosophy which underwent a significant development here and which, today, is experiencing a renewal. / Aquest article té l’objectiu d’oferir una llista actualitzada de centres que constaten aplicar la pedagogia Montessori a Catalunya.

Abstract/Notes: The transition to distance learning in the spring of 2020 caused by COVID-19 was particularly challenging for Montessori educators and students because key elements of the Method were not directly transferable to this new and hastily designed format. Hands-on learning with Montessori materials and learning in a community, as well as careful teacher observation, could not be easily replicated when children were learning from home. To understand how educators applied Montessori principles to serve children and families in these highly unusual circumstances, we surveyed Early Childhood and Elementary Montessori teachers about how they translated core elements of Montessori education to a distance-learning environment. The overall results suggest that Montessori distance-learning arrangements balanced live videoconference experiences for children with offline hands-on activities, while also relying on parents’ and caregivers’ involvement. Teachers reported that they largely designed learning experiences themselves, without significant support or guidance from school leaders. Still, teachers reported that they were able to uphold Montessori principles to only a moderate degree under the circumstances. While teachers understandably hunger for support, professional connections, and a return to the classroom experiences that drew them to the field of Montessori education, this study highlights factors that may affect the transition back to school for teachers, parents and caregivers, and students when face-to-face instruction resumes for all children.

Abstract/Notes: This study presents the decisive pedagogy of two Marias: Dr. Montessori and Dr. Hári. Dr. Montessori was the first woman in Italy who received a medical degree and it was many years later when she did pedagogical studies as well. Dr. Hári was a young medical student when she started to work with Professor Pető who had laid down the basics of Conductive Education. Dr. Montessori and Dr. Hári had a lot in common: not just their profession was the same but thanks to their hard work both pedagogy became famous internationally. Through their personality, the reader will have a glance into their educational methods as well. The topic is relevant because both educational systems make it possible for people with disabilities to integrate into society and live meaningful lives.
