Freinet and Montessori in practice. A comparative analysis of the meanings attributed to the process of learning by early education teachers – research report by Jarosław Jendza, Joanna Grzanka

“…Freinet teachers concentrate on the techniques and then – in their narratives – outline the values related to education whereas Montessori teachers’ narratives are oriented at values and only illustrated with some technological examples. The outcomes of the analysis can be formulated in a form of provisional synthesis: The realization of constructivism in education is not connected so much with so called “active learning techniques” but rather with values, individual and shared axio-educational orientations and the quality of relations between various subjects involved in education. …”
