Preschool Education for Inner-City Children: Preliminary Results of an Experimental Montessori Programme
Available from: ERIC
See More
Abstract/Notes: Early results from a Montessori nursery program initiated by Toronto, Canada, in 1971, to help inner-city children prepare for formal education indicate that the mothers of the 15 three- and four-year-old children were pleased with the program. Specifically, they felt that the children had increased their verbal skills, preparedness for junior kindergarten, and social maturity. However, not all mothers were pleased with the increased independence shown by some of the children. A study of the children's characteristics suggested that caution should be exerted in extrapolating the findings from other so-called disadvantaged children to inner-city children in one's own city. Other data are useful but the needs of a particular population must be carefully observed. When isolating deficiencies or identity needs, wholesale generalizations from superficial measures should not be made. Precise and explicit definitions should be made for such terms as deficient in language, intellectual motivation, or conceptual ability. Otherwise inadequate solutions are likely to result. (JS)

Abstract/Notes: This article proposes to re-focus education towards morality and universal values, which have always been the traditional aim of education. This paper is designed using a qualitative research method applying content analysis to textual and video materials from a historical and contemporary perspectives. The paper demonstrates morality problems of the current mainstream education systems and how alternative systems are better equipped to inculcate values. It is observed that trans-disciplinary, problem-based and religious education helps build stronger ethical foundation in students regardless of their geographical location or income levels. The article proposes for schools and universities to include community engagement programmes in their curricula, support religious communities through special programmes, and promote values education at all levels not through academic subjects but through studies, research and development of real-life application of ethics at local and international levels. The paper adds value to existing research on ethics and values-based education and calls for further research in the field of education. It is also relevant to policy makers and researchers in public policy disciplines.morality-based education, trans-disciplinary approach, holistic education, universal values, ethics, alternative education

Abstract/Notes: A partir de uma experiência com o Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) no desenvolvimento de um dos subprojetos do curso de Pedagogia, da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná, campus de Francisco Beltrão, que tem atuado junto a este programa há seis anos, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar e discutir as contribuições do referido programa à formação inicial do pedagogo. Para isso, tomamos como referência o processo formativo de um grupo de acadêmicos que acompanhou e participou de atividades pedagógicas em um Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil (CMEI), onde tiveram contato com o método Montessori, e em duas escolas públicas em turmas de alfabetização nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Para as análises e reflexões deste trabalho, temos como base nosso olhar de observadoras e coordenadoras do subprojeto que no decorrer do desenvolvimento de atividades semanais com o grupo nos permitiu acompanhar todo o processo formativo dos acadêmicos e ouvir seus relatos sobre suas vivências no programa, além, dos momentos de reflexões sobre a prática de ensino que aconteciam. Algumas constatações sinalizam para o quanto é significativa a inserção dos acadêmicos nas instituições de ensino desde os primeiros anos de sua graduação, consolidando uma relação mais efetiva entre teoria e prática e potencializando experiências formativas mais amplas, ao mesmo tempo que constituindo a identidade de sua atuação profissional com a docência. [Based on an experience with the Institutional Scholarship Program for Teaching Initiation (PIBID) in the development of one of the subprojects of the Pedagogy course, at the State University of Western Paraná, Francisco Beltrão campus, which has been working with this program for six years, the objective of this article is to analyze and discuss the contributions of the referred program to the initial formation of the pedagogue. For this, we take as reference the training process of a group of academics who accompanied and participated in pedagogical activities at a Municipal Center for Early Childhood Education (CMEI), where they had contact with the Montessori method, and at two public schools in literacy classes in the early years of elementary school. For the analyzes and reflections of this work, we are based on our view as observers and coordinators of the subproject that, during the development of weekly activities with the group, allowed us to follow the entire training process of the academics and hear their reports about their experiences in the program, in addition to , of the moments of reflection on the teaching practice that took place. Some findings indicate how significant the insertion of academics in educational institutions is from the first years of their graduation, consolidating a more effective relationship between theory and practice and enhancing broader training experiences, while constituting the identity of their performance professional with teaching.]
