Abstract/Notes: Survei Status Gizi Indonesia (SSGI) tahun 2022 melaporkan angka stunting sebesar 21,6%, menurun 2,8% dibandingkan tahun 2021 yaitu 24,4%. Namun Indonesia perlu bekerja keras untuk mencapai target 14% pada 2024. Kekurangan gizi pada anak stunting dapat menyebabkan gangguan perkembangan kognitif yang berdampak pada keberhasilan belajar anak dan mempengaruhi masa depan bangsa. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kognitif anak stunting dengan metode belajar Montessori. Dibandingkan metode tradisional lainnya, Montessori merupakan alternatif yang sangat baik untuk perkembangan kognitif anak. Tujuan penelitian : untuk menganalisis pengaruh Montessori terhadap perkembangan kognitif pada anak stunting. Desain penelitian menggunakan quasy eksperimen pretest – postest with control group. Kelompok intervensi yaitu kelompok Montessori dan kelompok kontrol yaitu kelompok metode belajar tradisional. Intervensi dilakukan selama 2 bulan. Sampel berjumlah 38 anak stunting yang diambil secara purposive sampling. Instrument yang digunakan yaitu kuesioner KPSP dan lembar observasi perkembangan kognitif Montessori. Uji statistic yang digunakan yaitu paired sample t test dan independent t test. Hasil uji paired sample t test diperoleh p value 0.001 pada kelompok Montessori dan p value 0.064 pada kelompok belajar tradisional. Hasil uji independent t test diperoleh p value 0.004. Montessori terbukti berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan kognitif pada anak stunting. Montessori melatih anak untuk mengeksplorasi dan menemukan lingkungan belajar yang tepat dan nyaman. Lingkungan yang nyaman akan menciptakan rasa bahagia dalam proses belajar sehingga dapat meningkatkan minat dan motivasi belajar.

Maria Montessori and Roberto Assagioli: Parallels in Their Thinking
Abstract/Notes: In this critical co-constructed auto-ethnographic article we draw on research from two contexts, exploring how critical peace education can be more than palliative care in times of ecological collapse and profound crises across ecosystems. Examining the current crises of learning, living and being, we call for eco-peace-based education: grounded in interconnectedness and interdependence, as a way to transgress unsustainable violences on personal, interpersonal, and ecological levels. We focus on three main arguments that extend learning about nature, to learning with and in nature, towards regenerative approaches of learning, living, and being. Firstly, to move beyond the self-centered (ego) towards interconnected and Earth-centered (eco) epistemologies. Secondly, we explore concrete examples of alternative schools that learn from, in and with nature through fostering innate care between students and Earth (in our own contexts, India and Germany). Thirdly, we reimagine possible futures of eco-peace-based approaches, and argue for a shift towards more peaceful and interconnected futures by integrating eco-peace principles, content and pedagogies into current education systems.

Abstract/Notes: Is the achievement gap real? Using a mixed-methods approach, this study reframed standardized testing through a Quantitative Critical and Black Critical lens. It interrogated the deficit framing of Black student achievement by asking the following questions: (1) To what extent do the aggregated standardized test scores for Black students in California correlate with other measures of achievement? Included in this analysis are: (a) To what degree does the ratio of Black students relate to the achievement variables? and (b) To what extent did COVID impact this correlation? (2) What beliefs do Black educators have regarding the standardized test scores of Black students? and (3) How do Black educators define Black Genius? Data sources included a quantitative comparison of three achievement variables from 56 school districts over two cohort years (2017/2018–2021/2022), a questionnaire, and document analyses. “Groundtruthing” (Pérez Huber et al., 2018) was also used to verify the data with 23 Black educators. Findings revealed a lack of any strong correlation between the state standardized test to other, more meaningful outcomes for Black students. The study proffers three terms to frame the issue more accurately: Achievement Distortion, Connection Gap, and Black Genius. Groundtruthed by Black educators, Black Genius is defined as an intelligence that exists outside of the traditional, status quo, Western conceptualization of intelligence. Black Genius is rooted in Black community, consciousness, and our collective history, propelling Black people to achieve, persist, and make progress in the face of persistent anti-Blackness.

Montessori Primary Schools' Effectiveness: A Quasi-Experimental Study on Schooling Outcomes
Abstract/Notes: Montessori is a highly individualized pedagogy that prioritizes following each child’s individual interests over standardized test scores. This quasi-experimental study compares groups of Montessori students (treatment groups, N = 535–710) with control groups of non-Montessori students, matched through the simple matching method, which controls for the effect of background variables on schooling outcomes. The tested hypothesis is that the treatment groups achieve mean scores that are not significantly lower and have a significantly higher standard deviation on standardized tests of mathematics and language. The study encompassed students in Grade 2, 5, 8, and 10 across two separate cohorts. Results indicate that Montessori students attain either comparable or significantly higher scores than non-Montessori students, depending on grade and cohort, with greater score variability observed, particularly at Grade 8 and in mathematics. This finding implies the necessity for future investigations into the effect of Montessori teachers’ instructional practices.

Abstract/Notes: This study aims to analyze the implementation of Inclusive Education policy in KB Ar-Ra'uuf Yoeandi. The objectives of the study are to understand the implementation of Permendiknas No 70 Year 2009 on Inclusive Education Article 3 in KB Ar-ra'uuf Yoeandi, to identify the inhibiting and supporting factors in the implementation of the policy, and to find an effective model for the implementation of the policy. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The data is analyzed using the policy implementation model of Elmore, Lipsky, Hjem, and O'Porter. The results of the study show that KB Ar-Ra'uuf Yoeandi has successfully implemented the inclusive education policy using a combination of strategies, such as an inclusive curriculum, RTI and Montessori-based learning, and active participation of all stakeholders. Supporting factors, such as disability-friendly school infrastructure, and inhibiting factors, such as limited human and financial resources, affect the implementation process. The contextualized implementation model is considered the most relevant in understanding the complexity of implementation and the influence of internal and external school factors on its success. This study provides an important contribution to understanding best practices for achieving inclusive education. KB Ar-Ra'uuf Yoeandi is a successful example of creating an inclusive and friendly educational environment for all students, and provides inspiration for other schools to improve inclusivity in the educational environment.

Education for Tomorrow: The Vision of Rabindranath Tagore
Abstract/Notes: This article investigates Rabindranath Tagore’s educational vision, which underpinned the three institutions he set up in India – Santiniketan (1901), Visva-Bharati (1921) and Sriniketan (1922). It argues that this vision is still relevant for the world of today and tomorrow, and that it should be taken into account in designing any educational model for the future. Tagore rejected the modern mechanical learning that focuses merely on cultivation of the individual’s mind, in favour of learning that encourages the creativity, imagination and moral awareness of students. He believed that education should be not for mere “success” or “progress” but for “illumination of heart” and for inculcation of a spirit of sympathy, service and self-sacrifice in the individual, so that s/he could rise above egocentrism and ethnocentrism to a state of global consciousness or worldcentrism. In pursuing this argument, I refer to Tagore’s letters, lectures, interviews and essays, both in Bengali and in English, a body of his short stories, his novel The Home and the World and his allegorical poem “Two Birds”. I also explain his awareness of the educational movements of his time in the West, and draw brief parallels with selected Western luminaries in the field, such as Plato, Montaigne, Rousseau and John Dewey. My contention is that although some may dismiss Tagore’s educational principles as “rickety sentimentalism” in a world that is palpable and real, his ideas of human fellowship, unity and creativity, and kinship for nature seem irrefutable with the rise of multiculturalism and the looming ecological crisis threatening world peace.
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.
