Abstract/Notes: The paper presents a description and comparison of the undergraduate student teacher training and kindergarten teacher continuing education in the Montessori Method of Education encompassed in formal education in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The theoretical part of the paper aims at depicting Montessori education, still an attractive pedagogical direction in both countries, in a thorough, unconventional and innovative way. Even though Montessori education has been rooted worldwide for centuries, in Slovakia and the Czech Republic it presents relatively new alternative education, considering that an integrated school system, introduced in these countries in 1948 and lasting almost to the end of20thcentury, did not allow the use of other alternatives in addition to the mainstream education. A description of (preschool) education in both countries and an analysis of kindergarten teacher's personality and his/her lesson plans are included in the theoretical part of the paper. The empirical part contains pedagogical research of qualitative design, conducted in Slovakia and the Czech Republic in order to identify and map the current state, level and possibilities of formal education of pre-service and in-service teachers in Slovak and Czech kindergartens.

Abstract/Notes: Bu araştırmada uluslararası Montessori öğretmen eğitimlerine katılmış bir öğretmenin anlatılarının derinlemesine incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden anlatı araştırma kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama sürecinde ölçüt örnekleme ile belirlenmiş bir Montessori öğretmeniyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler tematik analiz kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve ulaşılan bulgular üç ana tema “Montessori öğretmeni olma nedenleri” “Montessori öğretmeni olmak için alınan eğitimlerin özellikleri” “Montessori Öğretmen Eğitim Programlarının Katkılarına İlişkin Görüşler” altında açıklanarak kronolojik olarak sunulmuştur. Montessori öğretmeni olmak için alınan eğitimlerin özellikleri ana teması altında (a) NAMC Montessori öğretmen eğitimi programı özellikleri, (b) AMS eğitim ortamının özellikleri, (c) AMS öğretmen eğitimi programının özellikleri, (d) AMI eğitim ortamının özellikleri, (e) AMI öğretmen eğitimi programının özellikleri, (f) Eğitimcilerin özellikleri, (g) Anlatıcının aldığı programlara yönelik karşılaştırmaları alt temaları yer almıştır. Montessori öğretmen eğitim programlarının katkılarına ilişkin görüşler ana teması ise (a) mesleki gelişime katkılar ve (b) kişisel gelişime katkılar alt temalarını içermektedir. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen anlatılarda Montessori öğretmeni olabilmek için alınan öğretmen eğitimi programlarının genel olarak oldukça uzun süreli ve felsefeyle tutarlı uygulamaları vurgulayan yoğun içerikleri olduğu bunun yanı sıra anlatıcının (katılımcının) mesleki kimliğinde ve eğilimlerinde bir dönüşüm yarattığı görülmektedir. / This study aimed to examine the narratives of a teacher who participated in international Montessori teacher training in depth.

The data were analyzed through thematic analysis, and the findings were presented in chronological order under the themes of "Reasons to be a Montessori teacher", "The characteristics of the training taken to become a Montessori teacher" and "Views on the Contribution of Montessori Teacher Education Programs". The sub-themes of (a) NAMC Montessori teacher education program features, (b) The characteristics of the AMS education environment, (c) The characteristics of the AMS teacher education program, (d) Features of the AMI educational environment, (e) Features of the AMI teacher education program, (f) The characteristics of the educators were presented under the main theme of the characteristics of the training taken to become a Montessori teacher. The main theme of views on the contributions of Montessori teacher training programs includes the sub-themes of (a) contributions to professional development and (b) contributions to personal development. As a result, it is seen that the teacher education programs taken to become a Montessori teacher are generally quite long-term, as well as create a transformation in the professional identity of the participant.

Abstract/Notes: This article reflects how to know about Montessori pedagogy and the process she followed to build it, can help future teachers to be reflective and innovative. The aim is not to suggest that student teachers should know the pedagogy of Montessori, nor that of any specific pedagogue, and to put it into practice or imitate it, without further ado. Educational literature agrees that an educational system will be as good as its teachers, and they will not be able to improve education if they simply apply methods designed by others in an uncritical and decontextualized way. After describing how Montessori came to propose her method and establish her pedagogical principles, the importance of linking theory and practice in the initial and permanent training of future teachers is underlined.

The role of teacher also involves the character building of the taught apart from designing and implementation of the curriculum.

Realizing the above facts, the teaching profession is considered as the noblest profession in India. Ethiopian Journal of Education and Sciences Vol. 3 (1) 2007: pp. 97-102
