Abstract/Notes: In questa prima fase della ricerca - ancora in itinere - si compie un’analisi storico-pedagogica del rapporto infanzia/famiglie/istituzioni. L’indagine si focalizza sulle trasformazioni dei modelli familiari, visti nella loro interdipendenza con l’elaborazione di nuove pratiche educative. Al riguardo, l’avvento del’900 si profila come un passaggio importante, che trova un suo esito nel volume di Ellen Key, Il secolo dei fanciulli. Proprio in quest’opera, la scrittrice svedese elabora una nuova idea di “maternità” e di “paternità” che pone al centro i bisogni e le esigenze infantili. La sua prospettiva diventa oggetto di dibattito, agli inizi del secolo scorso, sia in campo pedagogico, sia in campo femminista, soprattutto in merito al dilemma per la donna di coniugare insieme sfera pubblica e sfera privata, maternità e autonomia individuale. Secondo l’ipotesi qui evidenziata è in particolare Maria Montessori a raccogliere la sfida di Ellen Key, con il suo esperimento pedagogico della “Casa dei bambini”, in cui lo spazio domestico, “privato” si trasforma in uno spazio scolastico, “pubblico”, a misura di “bambino” (valenza estetica degli ambienti, cura delle relazioni umane, ecc.). [In the first phase of research it conducts an historical and pedagogical analysis on the relationship between childhoods, families and institutions, identifying family-models changes and their interdependence with the elaboration of new educative practices. At the beginning of twentieth century, Ellen Key wrote the famous book The century of children. Following the introduction of Modernity age, the author defined a new idea of “motherhood” and “fatherhood” which focused on childish subjects’ needs and requirements. Her prospective became item of debate both in pedagogic and in feminist fields, especially in regard to women’s dilemma on how to combine public and private life, motherhood and individual autonomy. In particular, Maria Montessori took up the Ellen Key challenge, in fact she made the pedagogical experiment of Children’s House, where domestic space became institutional space (settings’ aesthetic quality, human relationships’ care).]

Abstract/Notes: Opening the issue of Pour l’ère nouvelle (January 1927), Adolphe Ferrière announced that L’Educazione Nazionale, directed by Giuseppe Lombardo Radice, would be the Italian partnership of the educational press officially committed with the New Education Fellowship. The strong relation between the two scholars was based on a shared vision of education as really focused on the release of children’s natural energies. The cultural mission of the Italian journal was not an easy one to accomplish, due to the increasingly heavy atmosphere characterizing the Italian public life, signed by the turning of Fascism into an authoritarian Regime. Up to the turning point of the thirties the review often tried to draw attention onto several themes and figures related to the progressive expansion of the New Education. Unfortunately, the involution of Fascism hindered the journal’s activity, finally forcing its closure in 1933.

Abstract/Notes: This paper looks at the professional profile of the Montessori-trained teacher, as educated at the college devised by Maria Montessori and founded in the 1950s by one of her closest pupils, Adele Costa Gnocchi. The Montessori assistant was a professional figure specially trained to aid the birth process and the “mental” needs of the protagonists involved, referring specifically to the child. In this respect, the paper also looks at the subject of education from birth, starting with Montessori’s earliest ideas on new-born children and their creative capabilities. The purpose is to recover the scientific foundations on which the pedagogical practices usually applied by childhood services are based, with the awareness that these consolidated practices need strengthening and a scientific foundation – including on an historical level – in order to contribute to qualifying services for early childhood. Through specific methodological qualification, above all with regard to Montessori’s methods, as well as by placing more valid historical importance on the paths they began, early childhood services may even be able to move in the direction of possible institutionalised training.

Abstract/Notes: Si se considera el aprendizaje como un proceso activo de construcción de conocimientos, partiendo del significado que a ello se le atribuye, entonces se puede decir que la enseñanza tendrá como objetivo orientar el proceso de construcción del aprendizaje. En tal sentido, en el presente trabajo se desarrollaron una serie de aspectos que pueden ser considerados en la orientación del aprendizaje como construcción del conocimiento a partir de situaciones problemáticas, donde el estudiante puede aproximar sus actividades a un trabajo científico en el momento de abordar los problemas. Se presenta un manual instruccional, basado en la metodología Montessori, con estrategias que ayuden en el aprendizaje del estudiante en el contenido Leyes de Newton. Entre las actividades realizadas destacan: (a) Realización de experimentos que permitan comprender mejor un fenómeno, (b) Construcciones de experimentos que expliquen las leyes del movimiento, (c) Actividades para interpretar las leyes de la dinámica en la cotidianidad.

Abstract/Notes: This study built into the parents' and teachers' experiences regarding the Kindergarten learners' readiness in the New Normal in the identified Kindergarten schools in Tacloban City during School Year 2020-2021. Using the descriptive phenomenology design, 10 Kindergarten teachers and 10 parents of Kindergarten learners served as respondents. The interview questionnaire served as the main instrument. Data obtained were transcribed, coded, and analyzed to determine the emerging themes and essence of the study. The results revealed that parents’ and teachers’ experiences regarding the Kindergarten learners' readiness in the new normal were teaching and learning related. They view Kindergarten learners as unprepared to enter Kindergarten education in the new educational landscape because they have not mastered the basic literacy skills as preschoolers and still have separation anxiety. Teachers have experienced exhausting all efforts to meet ideal instruction and reinforce positive guidance. These brought an impression that Kindergarten learners are unprepared to learn the learning competencies outlined for their level of education. Hence, it is recommended that the school adopt the implications and recommendations for parents and Kindergarten teachers.
