Abstract/Notes: The transition of the Kazakh alphabet from Cyrillic to Latin, set to be fully implemented by 2031, poses unwanted challenges to early and continuous literacy development and acquisition of the new script. This creates a need to design innovative learning solutions to boost children's motivation in acquiring the new Kazakh Latin alphabet. The Montessori method has proven itself effective for young children to engage in self-directed and developmentally appropriate literacy acquisition. These core ideas have been carefully adopted to establish design principles for the robotic system that is adhering to the principles of the Montessori pedagogy. This paper proposes a robotic system named Moveable -l-pbi and details its interaction design life cycle from understanding users and establishing requirements to designing, and implementing robot behaviours and validating them with the Montessori practitioner. This process was iterative that involved several cycles of piloting the system with children of targeted age groups and redesigning the learning activities. With the aim to evaluate the proposed system and to find the most cognitively rewarding way of learning the alphabet, we conducted a mixed-subject design experiment with 60 Kazakh children aged 8-10 years old from a local public school where we compare the proposed Moveable -l-pbi robotic system with a baseline Montessori human teacher. The results demonstrate the potential of the robot as a Montessori teacher in providing foundational letter acquisition over multiple sessions. Implications for improving the interaction design and activities are discussed based on the findings.

Abstract/Notes: This interview focuses on the Montessori adolescent program begun by John McNamara in 1978 at Ruffing Middle School in Ohio, describing the adolescent-centered curriculum, activities, and materials utilized in the program. Suggests that such programs need to provide an environment where children can first and foremost experience community, affirmation, love, and support. (MDM)

Abstract/Notes: Robin Moore and Nilda Cosco view the Montessori approach to the prepared environment as overlapping their understanding of the naturalization of school grounds. As they present the possibilities for a naturalized setting to overcome sedentary lifestyles and maximize learning in the outdoors, they establish necessary components for success: professional design, careful attention to surface drainage, thoughtful use of a hierarchy of pathways, variety in elevation, transitional shelters and terraces, moveable parts, restoration of wild places, inclusion of fruit-bearing species, and, above all, establishing a sense of place.

Abstract/Notes: During the process of conceptualizing the school of which she is the founding principal, Denver Montessori Junior/Senior High School, Katy Myers' driving question was, "What exactly is Montessori high school?" Her answer to this question gets to the heart of the mission of many Montessori high schools. She concluded that her high school must be guided by the principle that "adolescence is the sensitive period for social justice." In presenting how her thinking developed from this point, Myers offers an essential understanding of the work, at both the junior and high school levels, that is centered around empowering adolescents with the tools they need to have the agency to make social change. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA Adolescent Workshop at the AMI/USA Refresher Course, February 17-20, 2017 in Austin, TX.]

Abstract/Notes: Im Unterschied zur vergleichsweise einheitlich verfassten Waldorf-Schullandschaft in der BRD, bilden die Montessori-Schulen keinen einheitlichen Typus (s. o. Zusammenfassung). Ihre Trägerschaft (z. B. durch eingetragene Vereine, Kirchen oder Kommunen) weist ebenso wie die Schulform, die sie repräsentieren (Grundschule, Hauptschule, Gesamtschule, Fachoberschule, Gymnasium etc.) eine breite Streuung auf. Diese unterschiedlichen Rahmenbedingungen bringen vielfache Vorentscheidungen mit sich – z. B. im Blick auf die Rekrutierung der Lehrkräfte, in Bezug auf die Bewusstheit der Schulwahlentscheidungen der Eltern und die Freiheiten, den Unterricht und das Lernen konsequent an Montessori-Prinzipien zu orientieren.
