Abstract/Notes: El presente ensayo indaga acerca de las raíces de la educación montessoriana, pionera de concepciones holistas. Como resultado, se evidencia que únicamente puede ser abordada desde un paradigma de la complejidad y del compromiso con el destino de la humanidad. Solo una comprensión más amplia de su teleología, antropología y epistemología, nos proporcionará la perspectiva que permita integrar estas dimensiones. Con una introducción que parte de la primera costarricense en poner en práctica su filosofía, la preclara Carmen Lyra, se aborda la multi-texualidad, complejidad y trasdisciplinareidad de Montessori, así como sus contingencias y su época, indagación necesaria para sopesar su necesidad hoy. A search for Montessori’s roots concludes that an authentic Montessori education, pioneer in holistic conceptions, can only be addressed from a paradigm of complexity, a Transdisciplinary perspective, and an attitude of compromise with the destiny of humanity. Only an all-encompassing understanding of her teleology, anthropology, and epistemology will provide a perspective to integrate these dimensions. In relating Montessori’s circumstances and life-experiences, a parallel is made to the challenges faced by the first practicing Montessorian in Costa Rica, Carmen Lyra, educator, writer, activist, and founding-member of the Costa Rican Communist Party. Montessori’s multi-texuality, contingencies and the quotidien are addressed in an effort to outline her relevance today.

Abstract/Notes: La pédagogie Montessori est une méthode d’éducation qui a été mise au point au début du siècle dernier par Maria Montessori pour des enfants d’un quartier défavorisé de Rome en Italie. Depuis sa création, elle s’est développée à la marge de l’éducation nationale et se retrouve principalement dans des écoles privées. La pédagogie Montessori devient cependant de plus en plus populaire auprès des enseignants de l’école maternelle publique. Ce récent engouement apparaît fondé à la vue de plusieurs principes de cette méthode. En effet, elle promeut l’autonomie, l’auto-régulation, la coopération entre pairs d’âges variés et l’apprentissage à partir de matériels sensoriels et auto-correctifs. Ces caractéristiques sont plutôt en accord avec les connaissances scientifiques sur l’apprentissage et le développement de l’enfant. Cependant, à ce jour, les preuves expérimentales rigoureuses de son efficacité sont limitées. Dans cette thèse, nous avons mesuré les compétences langagières, mathématiques, exécutives et sociales d’enfants d’une école maternelle, repartis aléatoirement entre des classes appliquant la pédagogie Montessori ou une pédagogie conventionnelle. Nous avons suivi leurs progrès au cours des trois années de l’école maternelle (étude longitudinale) et avons comparé les performances des enfants en fin de Grande Section (étude transversale). Nous avons également élaboré une mesure pour évaluer objectivement la qualité d’implémentation de la pédagogie Montessori dans cette école, situé dans un quartier défavorisé. Nos résultats ne montrent pas de différences entre les groupes dans les domaines des mathématiques, des compétences exécutives et des compétences sociales. Cependant, les enfants issus des classes Montessori avaient de meilleures performances en lecture que les enfants issus des classes conventionnelles en fin de Grande Section. La pédagogie Montessori apparaît donc comme adaptée à l’apprentissage de la lecture chez le jeune enfant. [The Montessori method of education was created at the beginning of the last century by Maria Montessori to help children in a disadvantaged neighborhood of Rome in Italy. Although it is nowadays most commonly found in private schools, the Montessori method has gained popularity among teachers in public preschool and kindergarten in France and around the world. This popularity may appear legitimate with regards to the principles underlying the Montessori methods, which involve autonomy, self-regulation, cooperation between children from different age groups and learning with multi-sensorial and self-correcting materials. These characteristics are broadly in line with research on learning and development in young children. However, there is limited evidence for the effectiveness of the Montessori method in the scientific literature. In this thesis, we measured the linguistic, mathematical, executive and social skills of preschoolers and kindergarteners from a public school in which children were randomly assigned to classrooms in which the Montessori method was implemented or to classrooms in which a conventional teaching was used. We followed children from the first year of preschool to kindergarten (longitudinal study) and compared the performance of children at the end of kindergarten (cross-sectional study). We also developed a scale to evaluate the quality of implementation of the Montessori method in the school, located in a disadvantaged neighborhood. Our results do not show any difference between groups in terms of mathematical, executive and social skills. However, children from Montessori classrooms had better reading performance than children from conventional classrooms at the end of kindergarten. Therefore, the Montessori method appears to be well suited for developing reading skills of young children.]

Abstract/Notes: The goal of this qualitative thesis was study how Montessori pedagogy meets social guidance and social rehabilitation in a mental health rehabilitation housing unit. Upbringing, as a concept, was a uniting factor. The goal was to develop client work and make tacit knowledge visible through theory. By strengthening and supporting tacit knowledge, opportunity is given to the birth of new ideas thus increasing deliberation in work life. This thesis discusses socio-pedagogical work orientation, where theory and practice are combined forming an entirety, practical science. The theoretical base creates a prerequisite to the development of knowledge in practice. The thesis was done in collaboration with a working unit and empirical research material was gathered through interviewing personnel with a semi-structured questionnaire format. The questions were based on the six basic principles of the Montessori pedagogy. The meeting was seen in practice from the patients perspective, through observing natures significance and functionality in different ways. Instead, there was no meeting with customers involved in active assessment and documentation. Interviewees felt that tacit knowledge received theoretical background and interviews generated ideas. The pedagogical principles of the Montessori method often meet the principles of social guidance and social rehabilitation, and thus this study is applicable in many different operational environments. / Tämän kvalitatiivisen opinnäytetyön tarkoitus oli tutkia miten Montessori-pedagogiikka kohtaa sosiaaliohjauksen ja sosiaalisen kuntoutuksen mielenterveyskuntoutujien asumisyksikössä. Kasvatus käsitteenä oli yhdistävä tekijä. Tavoitteena oli asiakastyön kehittäminen sekä hiljaisen tiedon näkyväksi tekeminen teorian kautta. Vahvistamalla ja tukemalla hiljaista tietoa voidaan mahdollistaa myös työn kehittämistä uusien syntyvien ideoiden pohjalta sekä lisätä näin harkintaa työn teossa. Opinnäytetyötä ohjasi sosiaalipedagoginen työorientaatio, jossa teoria ja käytäntö kohtaavat muodostaen kokonaisuuden, käytännöllisen tieteen. Teoreettinen perusta luo edellytyksiä tiedon kehittymiselle käytäntöön. Opinnäytetyö on tehty yhteistyössä työelämän kumppanin kanssa ja empiirinen tutkimusaineisto saatiin haastattelemalla henkilökuntaa puoli strukturoiduilla haastattelukysymyksillä, jotka pohjautuivat Montessori-pedagogiikan kuudesta peruselementistä. Kohtaaminen näkyi käytännössä esimerkiksi asiakaslähtöisyytenä, luonnon merkityksen huomioimisena sekä toiminnallisuuden hyödyntämisenä eritavoin. Sen sijaan kohtaamista ei tapahtunut asiakkaiden osallisuudessa aktiiviseen arviointiin sekä dokumentoinnissa. Haastateltavat kokivat, että hiljainen tieto sai teoreettista taustaa ja haastattelut herättivät pohtimaan asioita. Montessori-pedagogiikan peruselementit kohtaavat suurelta osin sosiaaliohjauksen sekä sosiaalisen kuntoutuksen ja näin ollen tämä tutkimukseni on sovellettavissa moniin erilaisiin toiminta ympäristöihin.

Abstract/Notes: Partiendo de la premisa del déficit de infraestructura educativa de la localidad de Kennedy y de la deserción escolar dentro de la misma, el proyecto busca contribuir a la solución del problema de oferta acrecentado por la implementación de la jornada única en algunas instituciones educativas, dando prioridad a la continuidad en el proceso educativo de niños y niñas , para ello se plantea a partir de la necesidad de infraestructuras que permitan desarrollar un modelo pedagógico que atraiga a niños y niñas durante sus primeros años de vida a la continuidad de sus saberes con entusiasmo y ánimo de emprendedores, por ello se propone el “modelo pedagógico de María Montessori”. Para finalizar lo que se espera del proyecto dentro del sector, es que se pueda implementar el modelo pedagógico mencionado y así se genere un impacto social que es medible en los siguientes aspectos: innovación, participación de la comunidad, incremento del interés en los procesos educativos, para que a partir de esto se vea reflejado en la mejoría de infraestructuras, aumento de cupos escolares mejorando así la calidad de la educación. [Starting from the premise of the deficit of educational infrastructure of the town of Kennedy and the school dropout within it, the project seeks to contribute to the solution of the supply problem enhanced by the implementation of the single day in some educational institutions, giving priority to the continuity in the educational process of boys and girls for it arises, from the need infrastructures that allow to develop a pedagogical model that attracts children during their first years of life to the continuity of their knowledge with enthusiasm and encouragement of entrepreneurs, for that reason the "pedagogical model of Maria Montessori" is proposed. To finish what is expected of the project within the sector is that the aforementioned pedagogical model can be implemented and thus generate a social impact that is measurable in the following aspects: innovation, community participation, increased interest in educational processes, so that from this it is reflected in the improvement of infrastructures, increase of school quotas thus improving the quality of education.]
