Abstract/Notes: L'étude génétique de la pensée enfantine, dont on a montré quelques aspects dans le domaine mathématique, vérifie l'assertion, courante aujourd'hui, que l'enfant doit agir pour comprendre. Elle apporte cependant des renseignements supplémentaires sur les processus d'abstraction qui interviennent à partir de l'action.

Abstract/Notes: The aim of research was a comparative study of preschool educational approaches. In this research, the components of goals, content, teaching method, educational atmosphere and evaluation in romantic, humanistic, Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio Emilia approaches have been compared. The method of data collection and analysis were documentary and Bereday’s four-step approach respectively. In dimension of goals, all approaches emphasize the enrichment of the child's imagination through the senses. In the activities dimension, all approaches emphasize the learning process. Montessori and Reggio Emilia's approach, more than other approaches, design activities in a more problem-oriented manner. In the Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf approaches emphasized the question-and-answer method and indirect transmission of material to the child. In particular, the Reggio Emilia and Waldorf approaches have made the learning method the basis of child-teacher interaction, and teaching means the process of helping children learn research. In the dimension of educational atmosphere, human interaction with the environment - through the senses - is the basis of education in all approaches. In the evaluation dimension - with the exception of the Montessori approach which focuses on the extent to which predetermined goals are achieved-, other approaches do not emphasize learning standards and the evaluation is not done in the traditional way. Iranian curriculum planners are encouraged to use the findings of the present study to develop a suitable approach for early childhood education

Abstract/Notes: Malaysia is a country with approximately 53% Muslims. The rest of the population belong to different religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. Due to religious and ethnic pluralism and a cultural antagonism inside the society, the Muslims have been virtually forced to adopt alternative thinking and to make new experiments in order to keep in line with the Chinese. Malaysia is, in an Islamic context, an interesting country. In the rural areas where the Malay population is in majority, syncre tic religious practices such as Muslim Shamanism, magic and healing are still common.1 Urban areas, on the other hand, are marked by a more intellectual approach towards Islam, due partially to the great number of Muslim students who pursue their post-graduate studies overseas. The Chinese form the economically strongest group in Malaysia, and have thus tended to be in control of the private schools with the highest intellectual levels. The establishment of private schools is growing and competition is strong to get students. Many Malays from the upper strata of society have therefore sent their children to schools run by Chinese...

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of the present article was to search for new ways of individual pedagogical support for primary school children with learning disabilities.

The objective of the exercises was to develop universal learning activities, e.g., the ability to plan and manage a child's activity, to reflect its results, to build up communication, to encourage cognitive development.Keywords: learning disabilities, individual pedagogical support, Maria Montessori, universal learning activitiesJEL Classifications: I20; I23

Abstract/Notes: Among the educational movements which have really aroused attention throughout the world in the last 60 years, that named after Maria Montessori can, without a moment's hesitation, surely be given pride of place. This reason alone is sufficient for a publication like the International Review of Education to be the proper medium through which, from time to time, to disseminate to a world-wide public reports about the progress of research and the development of practical methods of instruction as they continue to be produced by a movement such as this one. This is a different thing from saying that one sees eye to eye with the principles upon which Montessori education is based, but even at those points where one feels basically opposed to certain principles, it is nevertheless rewarding to renew and extend one's acquaintance with its theory and practice. This holds good all the more when we are concerned, as in several of the articles included in this issue of the Review, predominantly with practical questions, or the empirical or theoretical treatment of practical teaching problems.
