Peace Education in a Montessori School
Obermajerová, Eliška ; Vallin, Petra (advisor) ; Poche Kargerová, Jana (referee)
This diploma thesis describes the issue of teaching Peace Education in a Montessori School. It comprehensively characterises the concept of Peace Education, mapping the content of lessons and materials which form part of the prepared environment of a Montessori class. I was interested in the inclusion of Peace Education in the Montessori Curriculum because it has an important role in education as Marie Montessori believed that peace begins in children. For the elaboration of the practical part, I chose action research which took place in Orange Class at Duhovka Elementary School - Prague, where I have been working as a class teacher since September 2020. The research was conducted in a mixed age class of Gd 1-3 students aged 6-9 years. I focused mainly on trying out the lessons with my class having created the materials for the prepared environment. In conclusion, I will evaluate the contribution of Peace Education for the class team and the changes of dynamics within the students in terms of respecting others. In addition, I will also reflect on the lessons and write recommendations for teachers who would like to use them.

At first, the selected parables are introduced from the biblical point of view, and then particular parables of the Kingdom of God are presented, which the children are gradually initiated into. The stress is put on those aspects that the catechesis of preschool children focuses on and reasons for the selection of the parables are given. The practical part of the thesis deals with hands-on experience, especially with children`s verbal and visual interpretations of the topic. These interpretations show children`s ability to understand the parables of the Kingdom of God and to synthetize different topics. The pictures and...
