Abstract/Notes: Montessori considers as an effective method that is commonly used in nurseries to improve the mental performance and develop the cognitive skills toward children. Tangible user interfaces (TUI) is an effective tool that allows interaction with physical objects in a way that makes this interaction augmented through embedded computation. This paper proposed a new concept of Montessori, which is Interactive Technological Montessori (ITM) using TUI. It aims to measure the impact of using TUI on enhancing the effectiveness of Montessori and make a new futuristic design vision for Montessori activities to motivate children positively. The findings of this paper revealed that Merging TUI with ITM has a great potential to increase the efficiency of Montessori. In addition to considering the appropriate design principles and Multi aging group work help children to be motivated positively to interact with the Montessori activities.

Abstract/Notes: Anaokulları okul öncesi çocukların bilgi ve becerilerini destekleyen eğitim kurumlarıdır. Farklı eğitim sistemlerini benimsemiş olan anaokullarında aktivitelere göre alanlar oluşturulmaktadır. Algının ve çevrenin öneminin büyük olduğu bu dönemde çocukların hayal güçlerine ilham verecek mekanlar tasarlanmalıdır. Çocukların sözlü beceriden önce öğrenilen görsel dil ile yaratıcılıkları desteklenmektedir. Bunun yanında mekanda bulunan güvenli ve ulaşılabilir mobilyalar da çocukların özgürce hareket etmelerini ve sorumluluk bilinci kazanmalarını sağlamaktadır. Anadilin yanında farklı bir dilin de okul öncesi dönemde öğrenilmesi için mekanda kullanılan görseller ve bunları destekleyici yabancı dilde kelimeler ile görsel hafıza da yer etmesi sağlanabilmektedir. Bu sayede öğrenilen yabancı dildeki kelimeler ile hafızadaki ilişki kuvvetlenerek hatırlanması kolaylaşmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı Montessori anaokullarında kullanılan mekan ihtiyaçlarını ve günümüz okullarında oluşturulan modern tasarımları araştırmaktadır. Sonuç olarak mekanda kullanılan eğrisel formlar ve donatı elemanlarının boyutlarının çocuklara göre tasarlanması ile çocuğun özgürce hareket edebileceği mekanlar eldeilmektedir. Bu mekanlar bir bütünlük içerisinde estetik bir uyum ile tasarlanmalıdır. Bir düzen içerisinde organize edilmiş az ve yeterli sayıda renk ve obje ile daha huzurlu bir mekan oluşturulmaktadır. Tasarımda ana unsuru yetişkinler ve çocuklar arasındaki olumlu ilişkiler oluşturmaktadır. Mekan tasarımı da bu ilişkiyi desteklemektedir. Doğal aydınlatma, uygun boyutta askılıklar, depolama alanlarının yeterli ve güvenli olması, dolaşım alanlarının yeterli olması da gerekmektedir. / Kindergartens are educational institutions that support the knowledge and skills of preschool children. In kindergartens in different education systems, areas are created according to the types of activities. In this period when perception and the environment are of great importance, spaces that will inspire children's imaginations should be designed. Children's creativity is supported by the visual language learned before verbal skills. In addition, safe furniture in the space allows children to move freely and gain a sense of responsibility. In addition to the mother tongue, it is possible to learn foreign languages in the pre-school period. Therefore, it can be ensured that the language is embedded in the memory with the visuals used in the space and the words in the foreign language supporting them. In this way, the relationship in the memory with the words in the learned foreign language is strengthened and the recall of the word becomes easier. This article aims to explore the space needs found in Montessori kindergartens and the modern designs created in today's schools. As a result, designing the dimensions of the furniture used in the space according to children ensures that children can move freely, implement their own decisions and receive an education without encountering obstacles. The kindergarten interior should be designed with an aesthetic harmony within a unity. Overmuch colors and toys cause a distraction for children. A more peaceful space is created with a sufficient number of colors and objects organized in order.

Abstract/Notes: This research paper evaluates how the use of sign language in a Montessori environment contributes to personal peace and how that impacts the classroom community. Use of signs in classrooms has become more prevalent throughout the years, whether it be baby signs, American Sign Language (ASL), or a sign invented by teachers and students alike to use in the classroom or at home. To inform the research, this paper will discuss how ASL came to be used in America and how signs are now used in classroom settings. The design of the study is auto-ethnographic and was for the purpose of supporting the pedagogical development of the researcher, who is a Montessori educator. The research spanned over the course of five weeks; 15 students were studied using three data collection instruments. These instruments included a tally chart, an observation sheet, and a personal questionnaire. The research concluded that use of sign language positively impacted the researcher’s personal peace and congruently impacted the classroom community in a positive manner.

Abstract/Notes: Kindergarten, as an important carrier for children's transition from family to society, is a place for the development and practice of preschool education, and plays a role that cannot be ignored in today's preschool education. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to implement the achievements of contemporary excellent early childhood education concepts into the architectural design of kindergartens. In recent years, Montessori's educational philosophy has attracted widespread attention in China. The Montessori teaching method is based on early childhood education, early childhood psychology, physiology, and other aspects. Its core theory coincides with the domestic concept of quality education, and has become a key topic of preschool education in the Ministry of Education. The purpose of this paper is to effectively integrate Montessori education concepts with kindergarten design and provide theoretical support for kindergarten design. Montessori's educational philosophy specifically elaborates on the natural development concept, sensitive period education, and sensory education of young children. These concepts are embodied in the "environmental education" aspect of kindergarten architectural design. By creating indoor and outdoor environments suitable for children's development, arranging rich functional spaces, and designing reasonable scales, colors, and shapes, children can develop freely in a "prepared environment".
