Abstract

Montessori program jedinstven je odgojno-obrazovni program koji počiva na principima Montessori pedagogije, a razvijen je po uzoru na prve odgojno-obrazovne ustanove koje je osnovala Maria Montessori. Mnoga su istraživanja potvrdila pozitivan učinak Montessori pedagogije na društveni, kognitivni, kreativni i psihološki razvoj djeteta, ponajprije jer se u sklopu ove pedagogije zagovara razvoj samostalnosti kod djece u prostoru koji je organiziran u skladu s djetetovim razvojnim potrebama. Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati neke od prednosti Montessori pedagogije koje su utvrđene i opisane u znanstvenim člancima na engleskom jeziku. Analizirani članci bave se Montessori pedagogijom i njezinim utjecajem na razvoj djeteta, mišljenjem roditelja o istoj, ulogom odgojitelja te okružjem Montessori vrtića. Na temelju prikaza odabranih znanstvenih članaka može se zaključiti da je organizacija prostora u Montessori vrtiću važan čimbenik jer djeci omogućuje samostalan izbor materijala i aktivnosti, što pruža djeci mogućnosti da razviju samostalnost i samostalno otkrivaju vlastite potencijale. Konačan zaključak, koji također proizlazi iz analiziranih članaka, jest da djeca koja pohađaju dječji vrtić u kojemu je implementirana Montessori metoda postižu bolje rezultate na testovima te pokazuju veću zainteresiranost i zadovoljstvo tijekom učenja.

Abstract (english)

The Montessori program is a unique educational program based on the principles of the Montessori pedagogy, modeled after the first educational institutions founded by Maria Montessori. Many studies have shown positive effect of the Montessori pedagogy on children’s social, cognitive, creative and psychological development, primarily because this pedagogy advocates the development of independence in children in a space that is organized in accordance with the child's developmental needs. The aim of this thes is is to show some of the advantages of the Montessori pedagogy which have been determined and described in the selected scholarly articles written in the English language . The analysed articles deal with the Montessori pedagogy and its impact on child development, parents' opinions about it, the role of preschool teachers and the environment of the Montessori kindergartens. Based on the analysis of the selected sc holarly articles, it can be proposed that organization of space in the Montessori kindergarten is a very important factor because it enables children to make independent choice of materials and activities which fosters the develop ment of their independence and helps them independently discover their ow n potential. The conclusion, derived on the basis of the article analysis, is that children who attend a Montessori kindergarten achieve better results on a number of tests and they also show greater interest and satisfaction during the learning process.
