This work was aimed for analyzing theoretical and practical aspects of the integrity of education in M. Montessori-type kindergartens and families. In pursuing this objective, the concept of M. Montessori educational systems, manifestations of integral educational methods in families and kindergartens were defined first of all, together with highlighting of the problems related to implementation of integral training. Through the analysis of understanding the Montessori system by teachers and parents, the attitude of teachers and parents to a child, comparing the child’s environment, selection of child’s activities and implementation of M. Montessori principles in a family and kindergarten, efforts were taken to identify how precisely the requirements of the Montessori system was respected in families and kindergartens, how well the importance of congruent education was understood. In addition, efforts were also taken to compare the implementation of the Montessori’s principles in families and kindergartens. The comparative analysis of the study data demonstrated that the congruence of family and Montessori-type kindergartens is not fully implemented in many pre-school establishments in Lithuania, because there is no continuation of such education, parents lack knowledge about the system of M. Montessori, children are differently approached, parents are unwilling to take an interest in children life in kindergarten, to co-operate with teachers. |
