Abstract/Notes: Executive Functions (EF) is a significant skill which should be embedded to the preschool children aged from 3 to 6. This can be carried out by providing diverse experiences and arrange activities which give the opportunity for the preschool children to take actions. The proper level of EF can initiate memory, concentration, and efforts among the preschool children. EF enhance emotional understanding of themselves and others as well. Thus, the preschool children are equipped with self-protection which enables them to happily live in the changing world of 21st century. The Montessori approach encourages the children to learn through self-practice with the equipment arranged by the teachers. “Hands” is the key learning tool which promotes four sides of development along with skills and morality.

Abstract/Notes: Preparing fourth-year teacher students of Early Childhood Education of Suan Dusit University for professional practicum in the second semester is a way to prepare teacher students before their professional practicum at an educational institution in their fifth year. In doing so, they would be able to apply the experience in real professional practicum. The teacher students in this study at Montessori Centre consisted of two students who learned the context of the institution and received a variety of experience in teaching the Montessori method. According to the observation, the teacher students were limited in demonstrating Montessori materials in terms of sensorial and academic aspects, using English in daily life, and using English for Montessori teaching. Therefore, instructors who are responsible for teaching any subjects relating to Montessori method should integrate English into classroom activities. Moreover, they should raise teacher students’ awareness of knowledge, personality, and using English.

Abstract/Notes: This experimental research aimed to determine the effect of Montessori-based activities program on depression among older persons at a social welfare development center for older persons. The samples consisted of 40 older persons with mild to moderate depression. An experimental group (n = 20) received Montessori-based activity program from August to November 2014; whereas, the control group (n = 20) received routine service. The samples were pair-matched by sex, age, and the depression level. The Montessori-based activity program based on Montessori-based (Montessori, 2011) was developed. The Thai Geriatric Depression Scale with Cronbach’s alpha reliability of .93 was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, paired t-test, and independent t-test. The results of this study revealed that 1) for the experimental group, after the experiment, a mean score of depression was statistically significantly lower than that before the experiment (t = 14.233, p < .001); and 2) after the experiment, a mean score of depression of the experimental group was statistically significantly lower than that of the control group (t = 7.830, p < .001).
