Abstract/Notes: Scope and method of study. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the connection between the beliefs, attitudes, and expectations teachers exhibit towards students who have attention challenges in three independent schools in England and the pathognomonic-interventionist continuum as identified by Jordan-Wilson and Silverman (1991), which identifies, along a scale, where teachers' beliefs lie. Teachers' sense of efficacy as they meet individual student needs was also explored as was what educators in these schools, who have limited, if any, recourse to special education assistance, do to support students who display the characteristics of attention deficit. The pathognomonic-interventionist continuum and Bandura's (1977) construct of self-efficacy were the lenses used to focus the research. The study records participants' responses and reflections about the phenomenon under study, describing what it is they do, how they perceive their responsibility towards their students, and how they support each other. Findings and conclusions. Data compiled from a sample of 10 teachers and 3 head-teachers, were disaggregated to provide a picture of how participant teachers work with attentionally challenged children in selected English independent schools. The results provide evidence that teachers whose profile identifies them with the interventionist perspective present stronger senses of self-efficacy. They are prepared to undertake prereferral-type activities to determine where the student is experiencing difficulty and are then willing to manipulate the learning environment to meet individual student needs. Teachers in these schools perceive it as their professional obligation to design teaching scenarios to benefit all students. Teacher efficacy, their sense of their ability to positively influence their students' educational performance and achievement, is unrelated to years of experience or educational background, but is related to the beliefs which they hold.

Abstract/Notes: Formerly entitled The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in the Children's Houses. This book was first published in 1909 under the title 'Il Metodo della Pedagogia Scientifica Applicato all'Educazione Infantile nelle Case dei Bambini' ('The Montessori Method: Scientific Pedagogy as Applied to Child Education in the Children's Houses) and was revised in 1913, 1926, and 1935. Maria Montessori revised and reissued this book in 1948 and renamed it 'La Scoperta del Bambino'. This edition is based on the 6th Italian edition of 'La Scoperta del Bambino' published by the Italian publisher Garzanti, Milan, Italy in 1962. M. J. Costelloe, S. J. translated this Italian version into the English language in 1967 for Fides Publishers, Inc. In 2016 Fred Kelpin edited this version and added many footnotes. He incorporated new illustrations based on AMI-blueprints of the materials currently in use.

Montessori školy na malém městě / Montessori school in a small town

Abstract/Notes: Diplomová práce zkoumá úlohu Montessori škol na malém městě. Ve velkých městech je nabídka vzdělávacích příležitostí pestřejší, na malém městě představují Montessori školy často jedinou alternativu k běžné základní škole. Pro účel výzkumu byl zvolen kvalitativní design vícepřípadové studie. Předmětem šetření byly dvě školy. Prostřednictvím hloubkových rozhovorů s pěti rodiči, čtyřmi učiteli a dvěma zakladatelkami škol byla zjišťována prvotní očekávání a jejich naplnění z pohledu všech skupin respondentů. Rodiče od školy očekávají vstřícné a bezpečné prostředí, individuální přístup, respekt k dítěti, kooperativní prostředí, podnětný způsob výuky, podporu vnitřní motivace dětí, svobodu a zároveň odpovědnost. Očekávání učitelů spočívala v možnosti uplatnit alternativní způsoby výuky s ohledem na individualitu žáka, respektující přístup a spolupracující kolektiv. Zakladatelky chtěly vytvořit přívětivou školu založenou na principech Marie Montessori, která bude finančně dostupná pro běžné rodiny a bude moci díky důrazu na individuální přístup poskytnout kvalitní vzdělání širokému spektru dětí, včetně těch s individuálními potřebami. Očekávání všech tří skupin respondentů byla naplněna, což potvrdila i konzistence v jejich odpovědích. Úloha Montessori škol na malých městech je zásadní z několika důvodů: nabízejí možnost volby, poskytují kvalitní vzdělávání všem dětem, mají inkluzivní charakter, vyvíjejí nepřímo tlak na zlepšení ostatních škol v regionu, které usilují o zachování konkurenceschopnosti. / The diploma thesis describes the role of Montessori schools in a small town. In large cities, the range of educational opportunities is more varied; in a small town, Montessori schools are often the only alternative to regular primary schools. For the purpose of the research, the qualitative design of the multi-case study was chosen. Two schools participated in the research. Through in-depth interviews with five parents, four teachers and two school founders, initial expectations and their fulfillment were identified from the perspective of all groups of respondents. Parents expect a friendly and safe environment, an individual approach, and respect for the child, a cooperative environment, a stimulating way of teaching, support for the children's internal motivation, freedom and responsibility at the same time. Teachers' expectations consisted in the possibility of applying alternative ways of teaching with regard to the individuality of the pupil, respecting the approach and cooperating team. The founders wanted to create a friendly school based on the principles of Maria Montessori, which will be affordable for ordinary families and will be able to provide quality education to a wide range of children, including those with special needs. The expectations of all three groups of respondents were met, which was confirmed by the consistency in their answers. The role of Montessori schools in small towns is crucial for several reasons: they offer choice, provide quality education, they are inclusive, and they indirectly put pressure on other schools in the region to strive to remain competitive.
