Abstract/Notes: While many BIPOC Montessori educators engage in anti-racist and culturally responsive teaching, Montessori education remains predominantly race-evasive. As a philosophy, it is rooted in colorblind perspectives in its focus on "all children" and lack of explicit centering of BIPOC students’ experiences. Teaching must account for race and racial lived realities in order to better support BIPOC students’ ways of knowing in culturally relevant and sustaining ways. This study seeks to center the voices of BIPOC Montessori educators and disrupt the pattern of Montessori research conducted without a critical racial lens. Framed by Critical Race Theory, this study focuses on the strengths, assets, and anti-racist teaching practices that one BIPOC educator brings to her classroom. I use critical ethnographic methods to better understand how a BIPOC Montessori teacher at a public charter Montessori school interprets and enacts the Montessori method to support BIPOC students. I consider how her racial identity informs her practices, and the structural barriers she faces at her school when enacting anti-racist and strength-based approaches. The guiding research questions of this study are: How does a Black Montessori teacher interpret the Montessori philosophy to more relevantly support her BIPOC students? How does she practice the Montessori method through culturally relevant and sustaining practices? What are the structural barriers that continue to challenge her as a Black educator doing her work? My analysis suggests that the teacher maintains her classroom space as a tangible and intangible cultural space that reflects and maintains her students' identities; that her own identity as a Black woman deeply contribute to the school's work around anti-racism and culturally responsive pedagogy; and that there are external barriers that both the teacher and the school face, that prevent them both from fully achieving culturally responsive teaching practices. At the core of the study, I seek to understand the possibilities and challenges of Montessori education from the perspective of BIPOC Montessori educators, and how we could learn from them to better support BIPOC students. I hope to begin a path toward more counter-stories in the Montessori community to specifically support BIPOC Montessori educators and understand the structural barriers they face to anti-racist teaching in Montessori programs in the United States.

Abstract/Notes: Ziel des vorliegenden Buches ist es, an den Gegenwartsproblemen der Pädagogik die Aktualität des Montessori-Modells zu belegen: Schulprobleme von heute können durch Vorschulpädagogik so vorentschieden werden, dass Lernschwierigkeiten in der Schule weitesgehend vermieden werden können.

Abstract/Notes: Yüzyılı aşkın süredir dünyanın birçok ülkesinde uygulanmakta olan Montessori yöntemi çocukların gelişim ve öğrenmesinin erken yıllardan itibaren özel hazırlanmış bir ortam ve çocuk merkezli yaklaşımlar ile desteklenmesini, çocuğun bağımsız birey olmasını hedefleyen bir eğitim yaklaşımıdır. Bu araştırmada eğitim ve nörobilim ilişkisinden yola çıkılarak, Montessori eğitim yönteminde yer alan temel özelliklerin nörobilimsel bakış açısı ile açıklanması, Montessori ve nörobilimin ilişkilendirildiği araştırmaların incelenerek disiplinler arası bir bakış açısı ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma, derleme türünde planlanmış nitel bir araştırmadır. Verilerin toplanmasında doküman analizi tekniği kullanılarak iki tarama aşaması ile dokümanlara ulaşılmıştır. İlk taramada Montessori yöntemi ile nörobilimsel çalışmaların ilişkilendirildiği çalışmalar incelenerek Montessori yönteminin "Hassas Dönemler", "Yapılandırılmış Ortam", "Duyu Eğitimi", "Tekrarla Kendiliğinden Öğrenme", "Dil-Beyin" ve "Hareket-Beyin" gibi özelliklerinin nörobilim ile ilişkilendirildiği tespit edilmiştir. İkinci taramada ise Montessori ve nörobilim çalışmalarında bu özelliklerin nasıl açıklandığı incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, Montessori’nin çocuk gelişimi ve öğrenmesine ilişkin oluşturduğu özelliklerin yıllar sonra nörobilim alanında yapılan araştırma bulguları ile de desteklendiğini göstermiştir. / The Montessori method, which has been applied in many countries of the world for more than a century, is an educational approach that aims to support the development and learning of children from early years with a specially prepared environment and child-centered approaches, and that the child becomes an independent individual. In this study, based on the relationship between education and neuroscience, it is aimed to explain the basic features of the Montessori education method with a neuroscientific perspective, and to reveal an interdisciplinary perspective by examining the studies that associate Montessori and neuroscience. This research is a qualitative research planned in the type of review. The documents were reached in two scanning stages by using the document analyses technique in the collection of data. In the first screening, the studies that associate the Montessori method with neuroscientific studies were examined, and it was determined that the characteristics of the Montessori method such as "Sensitive Periods", "Structured Environment", "Sensory Education", "Repeat Self-Learning", "Language-Brain" and "Movement-Brain" were associated with neuroscience. In the second screening, how these features were explained in Montessori and neuroscience studies was examined. Research findings have shown that the characteristics of Montessori regarding child development and learning are supported by the research findings in the field of neuroscience after years.
