Abstract/Notes: The Italian educator and physician Maria Montessori (1870–1952) is best known for the teaching method that bears her name. She was also a lifelong pacifist, although historians tend to consider her writings on this topic as secondary to her pedagogy. In The Best Weapon for Peace, Erica Moretti reframes Montessori’s pacifism as the foundation for her educational activism, emphasizing her vision of the classroom as a gateway to reshaping society. Montessori education offers a child-centered learning environment that cultivates students’ development as peaceful, curious, and resilient adults opposed to war and invested in societal reform. Using newly discovered primary sources, Moretti examines Montessori’s lifelong pacifist work, including her ultimately unsuccessful push for the creation of the White Cross, a humanitarian organization for war-affected children. Moretti shows that Montessori’s educational theories and practices would come to define chilren’s rights once adopted by influential international organizations, including the United Nations. She uncovers the significance of Montessori’s evolving philosophy of peace and early childhood education within broader conversations about internationalism and humanitarianism.

Abstract/Notes: Psikolojik dayanıklılık zorluklarla karşılaşan bireylerin mücadele etmesi ve bu mücadeleyi sürdürebilmesi adına önem taşımaktadır. Psikolojik dayanıklılığı yüksek olan bireyler karşılaştıkları zorluklardan kendilerine yarar sağlayabilen bireylerdir. Psikolojik dayanıklılık geliştirilebilen bir kişilik özelliğidir. Maria Montessori “Çocuğu çalıştım. Çocuğun bana verdiklerini aldım ve onları ifade ettim. İşte Montessori yöntemi budur.” cümlesi ile kendi adını verdiği yöntemini açıklamaktadır. Kendine has bir eğitim yaklaşımı olan Montessori felsefesi ile eğitim, çocuğu kendi kendine yetebilen bir birey olabilmesi için destekler. Bu araştırmada Montessori felsefesiyle eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılığı incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada 24- 72 ay arasında 20 öğrenci gözlenmiş olup, psikolojik dayanıklılığı oluşturan etmenler incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Montessori felsefesi ile eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılıkları; girişkenlik- özgüven, yardım alabilme, öz-düzenleme, akran ilişkileri, sosyal yeterlilik, bağlanma, mutluluk, duygu kontrolü, doyum erteleyebilme ve problem çözme becerileri başlıkları altında incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda Montessori felsefesiyle eğitim alan çocukların psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Ek olarak Montessori felsefesinin, çocukların kendi kararlarını verebilen, bu kararların sorumluluğunu alabilen, çalışma özgürlüğüne sahip, kendine yetebilen ve kendini ifade edebilen bireyler olmasına katkı sağladığı gözlenmiştir. / Psychological resilience is important for individuals who face difficulties and sustain struggle in their lives. Individuals with high psychological resilience are those who can benefit from the difficulties they face. Psychological resilience is a personality trait that can be developed. Maria Montessori describes the method which has its name from her as “I have studied the child; I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it, and that is what is called the Montessori Method” Montessori philosophy, which is a unique educational approach, supports the child to become a selfsufficient individual. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of Montessori education philosophy on psychological resilience. This study was carried out by observing 20 students between 24-72 months and the factors that make up psychological resilience were examined. In this context, the psychological resilience of children who are educated with Montessori philosophy were discussed under these headings: assertiveness-selfconfidence, getting help, self-regulation, peer relationships, social competence, attachment, happiness, emotion control, satisfaction deferment and problem solving skills. As a result of the research, it was observed that children who were educated with Montessori philosophy had higher psychological resilience. In addition, it was observed that Montessori philosophy contributes to children being individuals who can make their own decisions, take responsibility for these decisions, have the freedom to work, are self-sufficient and can express themselves.

Abstract/Notes: The primary aim of Montessori approach is to enable the child explore him/herself and free that personality; thus, a convenient environment has to be set for the development of the child. How parents, teachers and pre-school institutions set such environments is also studied within this research. Additionally, the effect of the Montessori approach on children that is used by the teachers at school is also observed. Therefore the researcher has made an attempt to focus on the Montessori approach in the preschool education. The Montessori Method is characterized by its emphasis on child-centered learning, individualized instruction, and the creation of a nurturing environment that fosters independence and self-discovery. The Montessori educational philosophy, founded by Maria Montessori, emphasizes the holistic development of preschool children, focusing on their innate abilities and fostering independence and self-regulation.
