Abstract/Notes: Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. This method based on observations and evaluations of a student’s development, which is a fundamental key of the Montessori Method. Color is one of the fundamental elements of art. It is important for art students to not only be exposed to color theory, but to understand it. By studying colors, students are able to embrace their own creativity and create their own masterpieces; one of the introductory art lessons is that of mixing colors and understanding the color wheel. The researcher chose this method to help beginning students grasp the concepts of color theory and color schemes to help them advance through the curriculum with new skills. Hence the research problem is to use general rules and concepts of Montessori to achieve a new method of color education to reform student’s knowledge, self-confidence, self-correction and their own abilities in using colors.

Abstract/Notes: The theory of Montessori education has been interpreted by some researchers to be vaguely formulated. However, as shown in previous research, Maria Montessori’s didactic approach to teaching and learning mathematics is fully consistent with variation theory and the theory of embodiment. Dr. Montessori used the theoretical concept of isolation of quality, which means that the learning objects have to be kept identical except for one variable, which has to differ to be perceptible. This concept is in alignment with variation theory, which emphasizes variation as a necessary condition for learners to discern aspects of an object of learning. The other theory applied in this article is the theory of embodiment: important cognitive functions are fundamentally grounded in action that is concordant with Dr. Montessori’s view that mind and movement are parts of the same entity. This article reports on a qualitative single-case study with a formative intention in which we investigated the significance of being acquainted with variation theory and the theory of embodiment when working with Montessori material. The study analyzes a teacher’s mathematics presentations with the Montessori material and the children’s work with this material, using Epistemological Move Analysis, which focuses on how the teacher directs children’s learning. The analysis was shared with the teacher to support her awareness of the ways teaching can be developed from a variation and embodiment theoretical perspective. Results show that the teacher’s awareness of why a specific learning object be treated in accordance with variation theory and embodiment seems to promote a more constructive and effective way to direct children’s learning.

Math and Art Curriculum Integration: A Post-Modern Foundation
Available from: JSTOR
Publication: Studies in Art Education, vol. 37, no. 1

Abstract/Notes: This paper suggests a post-modern curriculum reform in art education by examining elements of math and art that are congruent. The paper does not suggest that one discipline or the other is more significant. Three curricular domains are considered: the ideal, the instructional, and the operational by reviewing a range of materials from those generated by philosophers such as Edmund Husserl to those created by educational theorists. A shared web of meaning (Doll, 1993) emerges from the consideration of historic documents and events in both disciplines. Suggested ways to begin to restructure and coordinate math and art curricula include: inspection of the content areas for congruent elements; examination of older curricular models for related theory and materials; and review of the developmental bases for creating operational curricula in both disciplines. Brigham (1989), D'Amico and Ostrander (1940), Hurwitz and Day (1991), and a curriculum by Ware and Hooe (1907) are examined for the math and art coordination. Bruner, Lowenfeld, Piaget, and other developmental theorists' writings about learning in art and geometry are explored. A selection of curricula are inspected for math and art relations. The integration of math and art activities in art classes shows potential for complementary learning in both disciplines.

Abstract/Notes: For years, the traditional school system did not meet the needs of students. Parents founded schools to allow children to move away from the rigid class-subject-hour system. Founders of alternative schools can be citizens, parents and teachers, religious communities and other legal entities. These are the so-called free schools, civic education initiatives, pedagogical reform attempts, educational boarding schools, etc. The goals of this paper are to present the pedagogical concepts and ideas of schools in the Republic of Croatia that were founded by parents. The paper presents the basic pedagogical principles and teaching aspects of Waldorf and Montessori pedagogy based on educational pluralism, a brief overview of the partnership between parents and schools in Croatia and the educational model of the Catholic primary schools "Ružičnjak" and "Lotrščak". The observed schools are located in Zagreb and have only one goal - to adapt the school to the child. We try to provide each student with an individual approach. The starting points are the child's needs and interests. These are schools where students have freedom of choice. The goal of education is the holistic development of the child. Emphasis is placed on active learning methods and abandoning didactic scenarios in which the child is only a passive observer. / Tradicionalni školski sustav godinama nije zadovoljavao potrebe učenika. Roditelji su osnovali škole kako bi omogućili djeci da se odmaknu od krutoga sustava razred – predmet – sat. Osnivači alternativnih škola mogu biti građani, roditelji i nastavnici, vjerske zajednice te druge pravne osobe. To su takozvane slobodne škole, građanske obrazovne inicijative, reformski pedagoški pokušaji, obrazovni internati itd. Ciljevi su ovoga rada predstaviti pedagoške koncepte i ideje škola u Republici Hrvatskoj koje su osnovali roditelji. U radu se predstavljaju osnovna pedagoška načela i aspekti poučavanja Waldorf i Montessori pedagogije utemeljene na obrazovnome pluralizmu, kratak osvrt na partnerstvo roditelja i škola u Hrvatskoj te obrazovni model katoličkih osnovnih škola “Ružičnjak” i “Lotrščak”. Promatrane škole nalaze se u Zagrebu i imaju samo jedan cilj – prilagoditi školu djetetu. Svakomu učeniku nastoji se osigurati individualan pristup. Polazne su točke djetetove potrebe i interesi. Ovo su škole gdje učenici imaju slobodu izbora. Cilj je odgoja i obrazovanja holistički razvoj djeteta. Naglasak je stavljen na metode aktivna učenja i napuštanje didaktičkih scenarija u kojima je dijete samo pasivan promatrač.
