Abstract/Notes: Eines der wichtigsten Ziele der Montessori-Pädagogik besteht darin, die Fähigkeit zur Konzentration zu fördern. Diesem Ziel dient vor allem auch das „Gehen auf der Linie“, eine der bekanntesten Übungen nach Montessori und verschiedene Stilleübungen. Die Autorin beschreibt zum einen auf eine klare und praxistaugliche Weise deren Ablauf und zeigt, wie man sie am besten einführt; zum anderen erläutert sie aber auch eingehend den Sinn der Übungen, ihre Bedeutung für die kindliche Entwicklung und ihre Einbettung in den Gesamtzusammenhang der Pädagogik Montessoris. [One of the most important goals of Montessori pedagogy is to promote the ability to concentrate. Above all, “walking on the line”, one of the most well-known exercises according to Montessori, and various stillness exercises serve this purpose. On the one hand, the author describes their process in a clear and practical way and shows how best to introduce them; on the other hand, she also explains in detail the meaning of the exercises, their importance for the child's development and their embedding in the overall context of Montessori's pedagogy.]

Abstract/Notes: Grazia Honegger Fresco was one of Maria Montessori’s pupils, and she built on her teacher’s theories on the development and care of the infant and toddler child. She completed lengthy studies demonstrating how deeply Montessori investigated newborn children from the beginning of her research on human infancy. Montessori and Honegger Fresco introduced groundbreaking ideas, including: the fundamental role of the caregiver–child relationship, the importance of a young child’s environment responding to their particular sensitive periods of development, and the vision of a competent and active child even in the birth to 3 age group. The chapter provides an understanding of how the adult can prepare for the life of a young infant.

Abstract/Notes: The Center for Music and Rhythm is a very interesting center. In this, children can enter the characters they want, sing songs if they want, and play music on musical instruments if they want. This center can also be used as a corner. But using it as a center gives more positive results.

Abstract/Notes: This paper studies the imaginative play in young children using a model based on neutrosophic logic, viz, Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps (NCMs). NCMs are constructed with the help of expert opinion to establish relationships between the several concepts related with the imaginative play in children in the age group 1-10 years belonging to socially, economically and educationally backward groups. The NCMs are important in overcoming the hindrance posed by complicated and often imprecise nature of psychological or social data. Data was collected by video recording of children playing and the interpretations given by experts. Fifteen attributes / concepts related with children playing with the same toy were observed and according to experts several concepts were related and for some the relations between concepts were indeterminate, so it was appropriate to use NCMs. These NCMs were built using five expert’s opinion and the hidden patterns of them happened to be a fixed point.
