Abstract/Notes: The purpose of the article is to present Maria Montessori’s pedagogy and her concepts included in contemporary integrated education which uses modern teaching technologies. The author relies on her own research and takes account of the source literature. She uses the diagnostic survey method. The author analyzes the situation of early school education and the use of new technologies by teachers. Primarly, the report of her research was applied. The data analysis results show that the vast majority of teachers undertook to implement new technologies into education, but unfortunately on a rare basis, and the group that uses these devices in education most frequently and undertakes training is early school and pre-school education teachers. In addition, the author, based on the obtained research results, presented examples of educational solutions that could combine Maria Montessori’s pedagogy and new technologies. The purpose of the article is to present Maria Montessori’s pedagogy and her concepts included in modern integrated education which uses modern teaching technologies. Therefore, efforts were made to diagnose the range of application of modern technologies in integrated education. Determining the involvement of teachers in the organization of the teaching process with the use of new technologies is important because not all teachers have IT education. This issue was mentioned in the quantitative research conducted among teachers in 2021. In addition, the author, based on the obtained research results, presented examples of educational solutions that could combine Maria Montessori’s pedagogy and new technologies. Teachers should update their knowledge on didactic innovations that improve the process of gaining information about the world and follow those aspects which determine the behaviour and needs of students nowadays. I have presented in this article a method to combine educational ideas which are centuries apart.

Abstract/Notes: Background: Few studies have discussed school-based health programs in Montessori education. Lumin has a network of Montessori elementary schools serving mainly lower income families in Dallas, Texas. Since 2015, our medical school has partnered with Lumin to design and implement fitness and nutrition curricula adherent to Montessori principles., Objectives: To describe a novel Montessori school-based health program and determine avenues for improvement based on lessons learned., Methods: Led by medical students with guidance from faculty mentors, the program was developed collaboratively with Lumin leaders based on a critical need in their community and shaped with results from a cross-sectional health needs assessment among Lumin families. Data were collected to measure the impact of the program and a program evaluation was conducted after 5 years of operation to explore curriculum refinement., Results and Lessons Learned: The greatest challenges were recruitment of student volunteers, scheduling and coordination, and garnering community interest for secondary activities (e.g., health fairs)., Conclusions: Despite challenges, this partnership has resulted in a successful program that relies on faculty and student volunteers, incorporates community-based participatory research and service learning concepts, and follows Montessori principles.

Abstract/Notes: Aim: The topic of the article is the issue of popularizing the Maria Montessori method in the magazine “Przedszkole Przedszkolne” (1925–1939). The article was divided into five parts. The first presents the magazine “Preschool Education”, its issues and educational and popularizing functions. The second part of the article contains an outline of Maria Montessori’s biography up to 1910. The most important turning point in the life of this outstanding teacher is the year in which she gave up her medical practice and didactic work at the University of Rome, devoting herself entirely to teaching, primarily improving and promoting her own method. The most important for the discussed issue, i.e. the third, fourth and fifth parts include the description and the analysis of articles describing the Montessori method in the pages of Preschool Education, presentation of the section with sets of sense exercises and presentation of critical voices regarding this method, published in this journal. Methods: a critical analysis of sources. Results: an analysis of original articles propagating the Maria Montessori method in the magazine “Preschool Education” (1925–1939), whose founder and editor-in-chief was Maria Weryho-Radziwiłłowicz. Conclusions: In the years 1925–1939, the magazine “Preschool Education” published several articles that were a valuable source of information about the pedagogy of Maria Montessori and the organization of “children’s homes”. The authors of the most important of them were Klara Grunwald, and critical of this method ‒ Zofia Bogdanowiczowa. Importantly, in 1936 a translation of one of Maria Montessori’s lectures was published. The editors of “Preschool Education” placed great emphasis on the issues of pedagogical practice, which is why from the first issue the subject of sensory education was promoted. A huge number of various the so-called sensory exercises, in the form of usually creative suggestions for educators, could however result in the shallowing of the Montessori method as a whole.

Abstract/Notes: In 2013, one hundred years passed since the fi rst Polish issue of Maria Montessori’s (1870– 1952) “Children’s House”, which so far has been her only work translated and edited in Poland, was published. The reception process of her system in the world was related to historical and socio-political events. Between 1912 and 1939, there were some attempts in Poland to become acquainted with the assumptions of her pedagogy, to publish reviews of her books, to analyze her achievements and, of course, to evaluate their practical application. The Second World War and the political changes in Poland after 1945 hindered the possibility of broadening the knowledge about many (innovative at that time) methods of working with children on the level of the preschool and elementary education which were developed in Western Europe. It was not until 1989 that changes gradually introduced in the Polish education enabled many educators, both theoreticians and practitioners, to gain access to the scientifi c achievements of Western Europe as well as the application of “new” solutions in practice. The aim of the study is to show the development and application of the educational system of Maria Montessori in the Polish educational institutions over the period 1912–2015 in the context of socio-cultural changes.

Abstract/Notes: This paper aims at investigating the pedagogy of the AUA Pre-school English program from the perspective of Montessori Method. To reach the aim of the study the convergences and divergences between the Montessori and foreign language pedagogies were investigated in terms of teacher and student roles, materials and environment, sensory development and language use by both the teachers and learners. The mixed methods type of research was chosen for the study, where the qualitative analysis was done through classroom observation checklists and interviews with the program teacher, and the quantitative analysis was done with audio-video recordings. The findings of the research showed that the implementation of the Montessori Pedagogy in the “AUA Pre-school” English program is quite possible as the convergences outweighed the divergences.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of the Montessori approach on the IQ of 5-year old children. To do this, a sample of 80 5-year old children (40 children from the traditional kindergartens and 40 ones from a Montessori-regulated kindergarten) were randomly selected from different kindergartens in Shiraz, Iran, based on a simple random selection (for Montessori system) and a multi-stage selection (for the traditional system). Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices (RMP) test was used to measure participants’ IQ levels. Then Vineland Social Maturity scale was used. The data collected for testing hypotheses was then analyzed using the independent-samples t-test on dependent samples. Results showed that the IQ and the level of the 5-year old children educated through the Montessori approach was substantially higher than that of the children educated based on the traditional approach. The study suggested that education system (Montessori or traditional) had affected the children's IQ and social maturity growth level.

Abstract/Notes: In my paper, I will examine the ways in the active and creative learning with all sensory perceptions from the educational perspective. It concerns the integrated switching of individual learning techniques and learning strategies in DAF (GFL) instruction. First of all, I will handle action and project elements in foreign language lesson first become I, which different aspects action and project oriented of learning in foreign language instruction to treat. Here plays the positive effect of the Montessori Method, which emphasizes working with all sense channels. Because the more sensory impressions are opened, so much the better new vocabulary in the memory is stored. One assumes the learning in instruction to participate actively and the opportunity orders themselves to them by practical doing and experiences linguistic authority to acquire. A goal of my contribution is to develop an applicable method for forei gn language instruction in order to make active, creative, motivating and discovering learning procedures possible. This carries high concentration ability and an improvement out of keeping achievement with the acquisition and promotes creativity. This is to carry an interactive learning procedure out for the increase of the quality in the foreign language authority.
