Abstract/Notes: The article explores the educational value that Ellen Key (1849-1926), Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and Maria Montessori (1870-1952) attributed to children's stories. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century these three important authors contributed to the renewal of the educational theories and practices. They dedicated a part of their pedagogical reflections to the educational meanings of children's stories; consider, e.g., the many pages of Ellen Key on children's literature, the recommendations of Rudolf Steiner on the educational relevance of fairy tales and mythology or, finally, Maria Montessori's reflections on fairy tales. The article examines these ideas from a historical and pedagogical point of view.

Abstract/Notes: Durch die Einführung der Bildungsstandardsüberprüfungen erhält die Frage nach der Kompetenzentwicklung von Kindern einen zentralen Stellenwert in Bildungsangelegenheiten. Lehrkräfte stehen dadurch vor der Aufgabe, ihren Unterricht diesbezüglich zu verändern und Lösungen zu finden. Die Frage, ob der Einsatz der Montessoripädagogik die Entwicklung mathematischer Kompetenzen positiv beeinflusst, wurde im Rahmen einer Dissertation diskutiert und empirisch erforscht werden. Der Arbeit liegt folgende Fragestellung zugrunde: Kann die Montessoripädagogik dazu beitragen, dass Schülerinnen und Schüler in österreichischen Regelvolksschulen ein hohes Kompetenzniveau in Mathematik erreichen? Wie unterscheidet sich die Kompetenzentwicklung in Klassen, die von Lehrpersonen mit beziehungsweise ohne Montessoriausbildung unterrichtet werden? Bei der vorliegenden Studie handelt es sich um eine Längsschnittuntersuchung mit zwei Testzeitpunkten. Im Sinne einer summativen Evaluation wurden zu Beginn der Untersuchung die Basiskompetenzen mit dem „Entwicklungsorientierten Test zur Erfassung mathematischer Basiskompetenzen ab Schuleintritt (MBK 1+)“ analysiert. Am Ende der dritten Schulstufe wurde eine abschließende Bewertung im Rahmen der IKM-Testung des BIFIE vorgenommen, um die Wirksamkeit des Einsatzes der Montessorimethode zu ermitteln. Untersucht wurden 14 Volksschulklassen, die entweder einer Untersuchungsgruppe oder einer Kontrollgruppe zugeordnet wurden. Die Klassen der Untersuchungsgruppe wurden von Lehrpersonen mit Montessori-Diplomausbildung unterrichtet, die Klassen der Kontrollgruppe von Lehrpersonen, die keine Montessoriausbildung absolviert haben. An der Studie nahmen 248 Schülerinnen und Schüler teil. Der Untersuchungszeitraum erstreckte sich über insgesamt drei Schuljahre. Die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen Tendenzen, dass sich der Einsatz der Montessoripädagogik positiv auf die Kompetenzentwicklung der Kinder im Bereich der Mathematik auswirkt.

Abstract/Notes: The essay presents a comparison between the thought of Ellen Key and that of Maria Montessori. Changes that involved the role of women, caught in its interdependence with the development of new educational practices, were the center of the theoretical contribution of Ellen Key. Maria Montessori believed that only women work outside the home would guarantee the economic independence necessary to form a union on sentiment rather than on utilitarian calculations and therefore she did not seem to share the concerns of the Key on an increasingly massive female entry into the world of work. The paper offers an updated reflection on the work of two scholars of education.

Abstract/Notes: Home economics (now called family and consumer sciences [FCS] in the United States) and the Montessori education method were both started by strong women pioneers. American-born Ellen Swallow Richards (home economics founder) graduated from Vassar College (chemistry) the same year that Maria Montessori was born in Italy–1870. Both women were scientists and Richards was the first woman to graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (sanitary engineering). Montessori was interested in engineering but completed studies in medicine (pediatrics) and psychology. She was one of the first female doctors in Italy (Association Montessori Internationale, 2020; Kramer, 2017; McGregor, 2020).
