Abstract/Notes: Från att ha varit en tämligen marginell företeelse vid 1900-talets början, har förskolan blivit en angelägenhet för en stor del av den svenska befolkningen. Idag deltar mer än 90 procent av alla barn mellan två och sex år i offentligt finansierad förskole- och barnomsorgsverksamhet. Avsikten med föreliggande antologi är att belysa olika aspekter av denna avgörande utveckling. Bland författarna märks både de som bidragit till att definiera forskningsfältet, såväl nationellt som internationellt, och de vars bidrag illustrerar mer sentida utvecklingstendenser inom området. I fokus för antologin står tre teman som varit centrala både i förskolans historia och dess historieskrivning: stat, yrkeskår och individ. Bland de ämnen som behandlas återfi nns den svenska barnträdgårdsrörelsens historia, Montessoripedagogiken reception under mellankrigstiden, utvecklingen av pedagogiska leksaker och den statliga televisionens betydelse för förskolesektorns expansion. Tack vare den inledande introduktionen till förskolans historieskrivning, och den avslutande bibliografi n med närmare 200 poster, utgör volymen också en god introduktion till ett mycket vitalt forskningsfält. [From being a rather marginal phenomenon at the beginning of the 20th century, preschool has become a matter for a large part of the Swedish population. Today, more than 90 percent of all children between the ages of two and six participate in publicly funded preschool and childcare activities. The purpose of the present anthology is to shed light on various aspects of this crucial development. Among the authors are both those who have contributed to defining the field of research, both nationally and internationally, and those whose contributions illustrate more recent development trends in the field. The focus of the anthology is three themes that have been central to both the preschool's history and its history writing: state, profession and individual. Among the topics covered are the history of the Swedish kindergarten movement, the Montessori pedagogy reception during the interwar period, the development of educational toys and the importance of state television for the expansion of the preschool sector. Thanks to the introductory introduction to preschool history writing, and the concluding bibliography with almost 200 entries, the volume is also a good introduction to a very vital field of research.]

Abstract/Notes: Kemandirian adalah kemampuan seseorang untuk melakukan segala sesuatunya sendiri sesuai dengan tugas perkembangannya yang didasari oleh inisiatif, keinginan, kontrol diri dan kepercayaan pada kemampuannya sendiri. Anak perlu dilatih kemandiriannya sejak usia dini supaya tugas perkembangan dapat berkembang secara optimal. Sekolah memiliki peran penting untuk meningkatkan kemandirian anak. Menurut Santrock (2002:242), lingkungan bermain sangat penting dalam optimalisasi perkembangan anak. Salah satu sekolah dengan pendekatan seperti di atas adalah sekolah Montessori. Pendekatan Montessori menerapkan agar anak belajar mandiri dan tidak bertanya kepada guru atau menunggu jawaban (Hainstock 2008:38-40). Anak yang dididik dengan pendekatan Montessori diberi kesempatan untuk bekerja sendiri dengan material-material yang ada di lingkungannya, mengungkapkan keinginannya untuk memilih aktivitas, mengembangkan disiplin, dan anak perlu mengetahui apa yang baik dan buruk. Apabila hal-hal ini telah dipenuhi, maka kemandirian anak akan terbentuk (Modern Montessori International n.d.:40-41). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara empiris ada tidaknya perbedaan tingkat kemandirian anak prasekolah di sekolah Montessori dengan sekolah non Montessori. Subjek penelitian (N=28) adalah anak prasekolah berusia 3-4 tahun yang bersekolah di sekolah Montessori “X” dan sekolah non Montessori “Y” Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan seluruh populasi playgroup 2. Pengambilan data menggunakan rating scale terhadap kemandirian anak di sekolah Montessori maupun di sekolah non Montessori. Data dianalisis dengan teknik Uji t (t-test). Nilai t = 0.364, dengan p = 0.720 (p > 0.05) yang berarti hipotesis penelitian ditolak. Hal ini berarti tidak ada perbedaan signifikan tingkat kemandirian anak prasekolah di sekolah Montessori “X” dengan sekolah non Montessori “Y”. [Independence is a person's ability to do things on their own in accordance with their developmental tasks based on initiative, desire, self-control and belief in their own abilities. Children need to be trained to be independent from an early age so that developmental tasks can develop optimally. Schools have an important role in increasing children's independence. According to Santrock (2002: 242), the play environment is very important in optimizing children's development. One of the schools with such an approach is the Montessori school. The Montessori approach applies so that children learn independently and do not ask the teacher or wait for answers (Hainstock 2008:38-40). Children who are educated with the Montessori approach are given the opportunity to work alone with materials in their environment, express their desire to choose activities, develop discipline, and children need to know what is good and bad. If these things have been fulfilled, then the child's independence will be formed (Modern Montessori International n.d.: 40-41). This study aims to determine empirically whether there are differences in the level of independence of preschool children in Montessori schools and non-Montessori schools. The research subjects (N=28) were preschoolers aged 3-4 years who attended Montessori schools "X" and non-Montessori schools "Y" The sampling technique used the entire playgroup population 2. Data collection used a rating scale on the independence of children in Montessori schools. as well as in non-Montessori schools. The data were analyzed by using the t-test technique (t-test). The value of t = 0.364, with p = 0.720 (p > 0.05) which means the research hypothesis is rejected. This means that there is no significant difference in the level of independence of preschool children in Montessori schools "X" with non-Montessori schools "Y"]

Abstract/Notes: Bu araştırmada, Montessori Yöntemi'nin okul öncesi eğitimi alan 36-66 ay çocuklarının öz bakım becerilerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın bağımlı değişkeni çocukların öz bakım (kişisel bakım ve temizlik, yemek yeme, dinlenme, giyinme, kazalardan korunma, çevreyi düzenleme) becerileri, bağımsız değişkeni ise Montessori Yöntemi'dir. Bu araştırmanın çalışma grubu 2013-2014 öğretim yılında Konya ili, Selçuklu ilçesi, Selçuk Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi İhsan Doğramacı Uygulama Anaokulunda eğitim alan ve yansız atama ile seçilen 3-6 yaş grubu çocuklarından oluşmaktadır. Araştırmaya 20 deneme, 20 kontrol grubu olmak üzere 40 çocuk dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu oluşturulurken yaş değişkeni göz önünde bulundurulmuş ve gruplar eşitlenmiştir. Araştırmada okul öncesi çocuklarının öz bakım becerilerini belirlemek amacıyla Öz Bakım Becerileri Değerlendirme Testi kullanılmıştır. Testler çocuklara deneme öncesi ve sonrasında uygulanmış, ayrıca beş hafta sonra deneme grubuna eğitimin kalıcılığı ölçmek için tekrar uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde; Mann Witney U Testi ve Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar Testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular aşağıda özetlenmiştir: ● Deneme grubu çocuklarının öz bakım becerileri son test puan ortalamaları ön test puan ortalamalarından anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir. ● Kontrol grubu çocuklarının öz bakım becerileri son test puan ortalamaları ön test puan ortalamalarından anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir. ● Deneme grubu çocukları öz bakım becerilerinden temizlik ve kişisel bakım, yemek yeme, dinlenme, giyinme becerilerinde son test puan ortalamaları, kontrol grubu çocuklarının temizlik ve kişisel bakım, yemek yeme, dinlenme, giyinme becerileri son test puan ortalamalarından anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir. Kendini kazalardan koruma ve çevreyi düzenleme becerilerinde ise deneme ve kontrol grubunun bulguları benzer çıkmıştır. ● Deneme grubu çocuklarının son test puan ortalamaları ile izleme testi puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir farklılaşma bulunmamıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda ulaşılan genel sonuç, Montessori Yöntemi'nin okul öncesi çocuklarının öz bakım becerilerine olumlu yönde katkı sağladığı ve MEB Okul Öncesi Eğitim Programına göre temizlik ve kişisel bakım, yemek yeme, dinlenme, giyinme becerilerine göre daha etkili olduğudur. / In this study, the effects of The Montessori Method on preschool children's (36-66 months) self care skills were examined. The dependent variable in this study was "children's self care skills (personal care and cleaning, eating, resting, wearing, protecting themselves from the accident, arranging environment)", the independent variable was "The Montessori Method". The study group of the research consisted of three/six years old children who were chosen with the objective assignment and had education in Selcuk University Health Sciences Faculty Ihsan Dogramaci Application Kindergarden School in 2013–2014 education year in Selcuklu county in Konya. A total of 40 children were included in the study;twenties of them were in the experimental group and the rest of them were in the control group. While the study groups were being formed, age variable was taken into consideration and groups were equally distributed. In the study, self care skills assessment test was used to determine preschool children's self care skills assessment. The tests were applied to children before and after testing, and they were applied again to evaluate permanence to experimental group 5 weeks later. At the analysis of the data acquired in the study, Mann Witney U Test and Wilcoxon signed ranks tests were applied. The findings of the study were summarized below: ● The general self care skills of children in experimental group's post-test average scores were significantly higher than pre-test average scores. ● The general self care skills of children in control group's post-test average scores were significantly higher than pre-test average scores. ● The post test average scores of children in experimental group's self care skills (personal care and cleaning,eating,resting,wearing skills) were meaningfully higher than the post test average scores of children in control group. Also protecting themselves from the accident and arranging environment skills' scores were same between children in experimental and control group. ● No significant difference was found between post-test average scores and follow-up tests average scores of experimental group. The general conclusion which was obtained from the results was The Montessori Method made positive contribution to preschool children's self care skills and it was more effecient than Ministry of National Education Pre-school Education Program about the personal care and cleaning, eating, resting, wearing skills.

Abstract/Notes: Perkembangan pada anak salah satunya adalah perkembangan motorik halus. Penguasaan motorik halus adalah salah satu yang penting bagi anak khususnya usia 3-6 tahun. Namun, tidak semua anak mempunyai kematangan yang sama untuk menguasai kemampuan motorik halus pada tahap yang sama. Perkembangan motorik halus pada anak salah satunya dipengaruhi faktor eksternal yaitu lingkungan. Metode pembelajaran Montessori merupakan salah satu metode yang mementingkan penyediaan lingkungan yang sesuai dengan tahap perkembangan anak. Penyediaan lingkungan yang sesuai diwujudkan melalui berdirinya sekolah-sekolah dengan metode pembelajaran Montessori, termasuk Albata Islamic Montessori Preschool. Bedanya, kelas di sekolah yang menggunakan Metode pembelajaran Montessori tidak mengelompokkan anak berdasarkan umur agar anak bisa saling mengajarkan dan bersosialisasi dengan baik, membentuk jiwa kepemimpinan anak, tanggung jawab dan kemandirian. Selain itu dalam metode ini, digunakan alat permainan edukatif yang sesuai dengan tahap perkembangan anak. Berdasarkan penjelasan diatas, dibutuhkan sarana pembelajaran motorik halus berupa mainan montessori yang dapat dimainkan anak usia 3-6 tahun secara bersama-sama atau multiplayer. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif, data bersumber dari observasi, wawancara dan studi literatur. Salah satu mainan Montessori yang umum digunakan untuk melatih motorik halus adalah mainan balok. Perbedaan mainan balok yang dikembangkan peneliti dibanding penelitian serupa sebelumnya yaitu dalam segi fungsi dan cara bermain. Sementara material menggunakan kayu dengan finishing yang menyesuaikan fungsi yaitu HPL putih glossy digunakan untuk menggambar, menulis pada permukaan balok. Hasil penelitian berupa Mainan Balok Montessori multiplayer yang memiliki nilai kebaruan dari segi fungsi yaitu digunakan untuk melatih motorik halus khususnya aktifitas yang bersifat practical life dan dari segi cara bermain menggunakan konsep multiplayer yang sesuai dengan perkembangan psikologis usia 3-6 tahun.

Abstract/Notes: This study describes and evalutes the first year of a bilingual Montessori early childhood program implemented at two sites in central Texas. In-depth descriptions are provided of two program components--oral language development and classroom management. Hypotheses related to changes in students' language proficiency and classroom behavior were tested, using the James Language Dominance Test to measure comprehension and production of Spanish and English, and the Coping Analysis Schedule for Educational Settings to assess changes in students' behavior. The description of the oral language development component of the program includes instructional activities for vocabulary enrichment, isolating the sounds of language, and clarifying the functions of words. Adaptations of the Montessori method for implementation in a bilingual setting are presented, along with the discussion of two unexpected findings--the inhibition of the use of Spanish by many Mexican American children, and the association of one language or the other with a particular set of materials. The description of the classroom management component of the program includes the preparation of the environment, observation and record-keeping practices, the basic techniques for presenting materials, and "grace and courtesy lessons." Maria Montessori's views on the nature of education, the role of the teacher, and the concept of discipline and behavior change are discussed and compared to more modern theorists. The results of the formative evaluation reveal that children made significant improvements in English and Spanish comprehension and production. Behavior changes observed included positive shifts in percentage of time spent in self-directed activity, in paying attention to the task at hand, and in positive social interaction. The results of the study are basically descriptive, since only the children in this program were tested and observed. The results indicate that the program goals for the first year were met, and point to a number of possible changes for program improvement, including the use of more Spanish, the recruitment of more Spanish-dominant students, the development of separate sets of materials for Spanish and English instruction, and the sharing by teachers of their particular classroom management strategies.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of the study was to investigate the views of Montessori preschool teachers on inclusive education in Montessori approach. The views of 18 participants were examined in this study. All participants were selected from Ankara and İstanbul and they were investigated by a semi-structured interview protocol that was developed by the researcher based on the literature review. The protocol contained questions in three major parts; these were demographic questions about participants, questions about views on inclusive education and questions about views on inclusive education in Montessori approach and its advantageous and disadvantageous for children with disabilities. Phenomenology design was employed in the study and purposive sampling was used to reach the participants. According to findings of content analysis, Montessori teachers stated that they did not find themselves adequately educated and experienced in inclusive education but a large part of them thought that inclusive education is good for development of both disabled and non-disabled students. On the other hand, Montessori teachers expressed that enabling children to be independent and to encourage them to make their own decisions are the most important point of Montessori understanding. However, when considered in terms of disabled students, most teachers indicated that such liberal environment could constitute disadvantages for such students. Teachers stated that an educational environment which is structured and where influence of the teacher is more intensive would be better in terms of education of the disabled child, particularly when working with students with severe disabilities or students with attention deficit or autism. / Bu çalışma, Montessori anaokullarında çalışan okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin bütünleştirme eğitimi ve Montessori yaklaşımında bütünleştirme uygulamaları hakkındaki görüşlerini anlamayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışma 18 katılımcıyı kapsamaktadır. Tüm katılımcılar Ankara ve İstanbul ilinde Montessori okullarında çalışan okul öncesi öğretmenleri arasından seçilmiş olup, görüşmeler araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile yapılmıştır. Görüşme formu üç ana bölümden oluşmaktadır. İlk bölümde katılımcılar hakkındaki demografik bilgiler sorgulanırken, ikinci bölümde katılımcıların bütünleştirme eğitimi hakkındaki görüşleri ve son bölümde ise katılımcıların Montessori eğitimindeki bütünleştirme uygulamaları hakkındaki görüşleri sorgulanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda nitel analiz yapılmış olup bulgulara göre Montessori öğretmenleri bütünleştirme eğitimi konusunda kendilerini yeterince eğitimli ve deneyimli bulmadıklarını belirtmiş, ancak bütünleştirme eğitiminin hem engelli hem de engelsiz öğrenciler için faydalı olduğunu düşündüklerini ifade etmiştir. Öte yandan, Montessori öğretmenleri Montessori eğitiminin çocuğun bağımsız bir birey olmasında önemli bir rol oynadığını ifade etmiş, çocukların kendi kararlarını vermelerini teşvik etmenin Montessori anlayışının en önemli noktaları olduğunu belirtmiştir. Ancak engelli öğrenciler açısından değerlendirildiğinde öğretmenlerin çoğu bu özgürlükçü ortamın engelli öğrenciler için dezavantajlar oluşturabileceğini söylemiştir. Öğretmenler, özellikle ağır engelli öğrenciler ya da dikkat dağınıklığı olan ya da otizmli öğrenciler ile çalışırken öğretmenin etkisinin daha yoğun olduğu, yapılandırılmış bir eğitim ortamının çocuğun eğitimi açısından daha iyi olacağını ifade etmiştir.
