This qualitative research utilized a transcendental analytic method. The study field, all the national and international written and non-written references in the field of the research’s subject. For selecting the sample among the existing references and documents, theoretical sampling method was used. Also, electronic note taking was used for gathering the data. Data analysis was conducted by qualitative content analysis with deductive categorical system type and in three stages of open, central and selective coding. Results of the research suggested the presence of high similarities between the views of Montessori and Loris Malaguzzi. Emphasis on comprehensive growth of children, integrative organization of curriculum, utilizing various learning activities, considering individual differences between children, using active teaching methods, and employing alternative or original assessment methods are among the most important similarities between these two views.

        The present study was conducted to compare various dimensions of temperament, character and aggression in preschool children trained with Waldorf,Montessori,and traditional approaches of education. The statistical population included all preschools in Region 2 of Tehran, administered based on the aforementioned educational approaches. In the first stage, six preschools (two preschools for each approach) were selected. Then, the inventory of maternal care quality was administered among mothers to study mother-child relations and match children in this factor. Finally,only mothers who obtained the highest scores in this inventory were selected. In the second stage, the seven-factor preschool temperament and character inventory,developed by Constantino(2012),and the four-factor preschool children aggression inventory ,developed by Vahedi et al. (2008),were given to the instructors of those children with quality caring mothers.After the instructors completed the inventories and their opinions about these children were collected,data pertaining to 90 children (15 children from each preschool) was analyzed. The multivariate analysis of variance of data suggested higher level of verbal and physical aggression in children trained with traditional approach, as compared to two other approaches,the aggression scores of the children trained with Waldorf and Montessori approaches were not different. In addition,children trained with Waldorf approach obtained higher scores than other two groups in novelty seeking and persistence (as two dimensions of temperament),self-directedness,and cooperativeness (as two dimensions of character).The temperament and character scores of the children trained with Montessori and traditional approaches were not different.Findings suggested the importance of educational environment,secondary to family environment,in the formation of temperamental and behavioral characteristics.

        Throughout the history of early childhood education , various popular patterns and approaches have emerged that are still popular. The Montessori curriculum model is one of these models that is being used in our country . The purpose of this article is to examine the philosophical foundations of this model , and to analyze the nature of learning arising from it. For this purpose , using the regressive philosophical analytical method in the form of inferential approach , some philosophical foundations of this model were inferred and developed . These elements include ; holistic view of existence and the child and the need for holistic education, the child's individual and social aspects and emphasis on both aspects in education, the existence of spontaneous force within the child in the development path , attention to the child' s desires and the need to reveal his inner capacities , emphasis on different stages of development and provision of learning experiences tailored to the requirements of each stage , the child's freedom as a key element throughout the education process, the relative compatibility of the Montessori educational approach with the constructivist approach , providing a favorable learning environment in cooperation with nature. Then , using descriptive-analytical method , it became clear that the nature of learning in this model is similar to the findings of new research on learning that is based on competence , agency , multiple childhood and priority of children's lived experience. Toys are with the child from the birth , so that the ability of distinguishing tissues for children leads to increase information and its conformity to their surroundings. In this way, using of the child’ s sense and stimulating them , evokes the significant factors in direction of proper using from the quality of the game space. In this way and from the point of view of the Iranian culture and principle of the Iranian architecture and with using these senses , it can lead to intimacy and understanding the environment in a simple format. The individuality of the human beings has been considered in such a way that this word can lead to the understanding environmental culture for its audience. Therefore , we first tried to analyze and describe variables between principles of the Iranian architecture with theories of Maria Montessori , with an interpretive approach and consequential reasoning and understanding primary concepts in order to answer this question : “ how can find out the criteria to recognize the quality of game space for children from 2 to 6-year-old through matching Pirnia’s intellectual principles and theories of Maria Montessori? " By answering this question , the impact of the quality of the game space based on the Iranian architecture can be achieved and it is possible to boost sense of the children in the age of 2 to 6 -year -old through understanding of their surroundings , which requires a correct knowledge of the roots of Iranian architecture with education system of theorizing such as Montessori .
