Doctoral Dissertation
An ethnographic investigation of a teenage culture in a Montessori junior high school
Available from: ProQuest - Dissertations and Theses

Abstract/Notes: This dissertation presents an ethnographic study of a teenage culture in a Montessori junior high school. Ethnographic research usually includes both interviews and observations. The standard methodological procedure is to first elicit from cultural participants their perceptions of meanings; then, second, this elicited information provides an analytical framework with which to identify and interpret observed enactments of patterned behavior. This study describes the first only; that is, an array of ethnographic elicitations and an analysis of them. The initial task was to develop interview procedures suitable for young people between the ages of eleven and thirteen. Three techniques were developed and employed to assemble a data base of cultural information. Analysis of that data base revealed the importance of two organizational principles in terms of which the junior high students conducted their daily cultural affairs: "personality and moods" and "trust". Their affairs took place within and between friendship groups. A friendship group consisted of those who shared various degrees of compatible "personalities and moods" and who could be variously trusted not to betray private friendship information. The students recognized a range of several types of friends from the least trusted "people you know" to the most trusted "best friends". These students daily set up situations of trust. They daily tested each other's willingness to hold information as confidential and thereby succeeded through the friendship ranks based on their mutual compatibility of "personality and moods" and on their willingness to trust and be trusted. Others who were "disliked" or hated had incompatible "personalities" and could never trust one another. They either ignored one another or had occasional fights.

Abstract/Notes: The subject of practice-based thesis was children’s emotional skills and emotional education in early childhood education. The mandator of the research, Montessori Daycare of Lahti had a need for tailored emotional education material for their daily life in the daycare. The aim of thesis was to produce functional material for emotional education and a guide for the use of the material to the mandator, Montessori Daycare of Lahti. The needs from Montessori Daycare’s daily life guided the planning process and it was developed by implementing short functional lessons on emotions with a small group of children. The purpose of the thesis was to give tools for emotional education for early childhood educators. The end product of thesis was emotional education -package, which contains puppets made by hand, some essential equipment for drama and a guide for implementing emotional education lessons. The package was designed so that it can be easily handled and carried around, which enables having lessons also outside of the daycare environment. The exterior of the package is designed to be in line with its contents and as a whole the material follows the guiding principles of Montessori education. Based on the trial use of the material and the following evaluation, the emotional education -package was found to be well functioning and the material can be used in the daily life of the daycare in addition to emotional education lessons. This shows that the aim and purpose of the thesis, producing tools for emotional education for early childhood educators, has been achieved. / Toiminnallisen opinnäytetyön aiheena oli tunnetaidot sekä tunnekasvatus varhaiskasvatuksessa. Aihe tuli toimeksiantajalta Lahden Montessori-leikkikoululta, jolla oli selkeä tarve heille räätälöityyn tunnekasvatusmateriaaliin. Työn tavoitteena oli tuottaa tunnekasvatuksen toiminnallinen opas ja siihen liittyvä materiaali Lahden Montessori-leikkikoululle. Materiaali suunniteltiin päiväkodin arjesta nousseiden tarpeiden mukaan, ja sitä kehitettiin toteuttamalla toiminnallisia tunnehetkiä päiväkodin lapsiryhmälle. Opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli antaa varhaiskasvattajien käyttöön lisää työkaluja tunnekasvatukseen, tunteiden tunnistamiseen, nimeämiseen ja käsittelyyn lasten kanssa. Opinnäytetyön tuotoksena valmistui tunnekasvatussalkku, joka sisältää itse valmistetut käsinuket, tarvittavat draamavälineet sekä oppaan tunnehetkien toteuttamista varten. Salkku on suunniteltu niin, että sitä on helppo käsitellä ja se on kätevästi mukaan otettavissa, jolloin tunnehetki on mahdollista toteuttaa myös päiväkodin ulkopuolella. Salkun ulkoasu on suunniteltu yhteneväiseksi sisällön kanssa, ja se on Montessori-oppien mukainen valmisteltu kokonaisuus. Kokeilun ja arvioinnin pohjalta voidaan todeta, että tunnekasvatussalkku on toimiva kokonaisuus, ja materiaalia voidaan hyödyntää myös päiväkodin arjessa varsinaisten tunnehetkien ulkopuolella. Tämän perusteella voidaan todeta, että työn tavoite ja tarkoitus tuottaa varhaiskasvattajille käytännön työkaluja tunnekasvatuksen toteuttamista varten, ovat toteutuneet.
