Available from: St. Catherine University

Abstract/Notes: This action research project was completed to test the effects of reading and discussing multicultural children’s literature on young children’s positive self-concept and appreciation of human differences. The setting was a Montessori primary (preK-K) classroom of 18 children, ages two years 10 months to five years 10 months. Ten children were White, four were biracial, three were Asian American, and one was Latin American. Data was collected using a tally sheet, picture test, self-concept test, discussion log, and self-assessment journal. Readings took place each day and books centered on topics such as individuality, race, skin color, diversity, inclusion, and activism. The results indicated that children did show a decrease in negative attitudes towards human differences and an increase in positive attitudes towards human differences throughout the intervention. The action plan implications conclude that the study could be conducted with a narrower focus and within an intersectional framework.

Abstract/Notes: The first part of the paper describes the life and work of Maria Montessori and the principles of Montessori pedagogy, while in the second part the paper reviews the Montessori pedagogy. In the systematic review of literature, the following keywords were used: Montessori pedagogy, Montessori approach, Montessori scientific paper, Montessori literature, review of Montessori literature and effects of Montessori pedagogy. The search databases that we used were WoS and Scopus, and the period between 2013 and 2018 was searched. Based on the research, out of a total of 186 papers, 81 papers were outlined. Featured works are categorized in 11 areas: women's position, architecture/design, language, mathematics, technology/IT, kindergarten, school, higher education, Maria Montessori, principles of Montessori pedagogy /philosophy /approach and dementia/Alzheimer's disease. Most of the papers are in the kindergarten and the school, followed immediately by the area of technology/IT and the area of dementia/Alzheimer's disease. Most of the papers are studying the philosophy of Montessori pedagogy rather than studying the life and work of Marie Montessori. The area that describe women's position and architecture /design counts the same number of published works, as well as the area of language and mathematics. The field of higher education has only two published papers, one of which is from the Faculty of Educational and Educational Sciences in Osijek.

The Impact of Anti-Bias Literature Small Groups on Children's Understanding of Themselves, their Families, and Others

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this action research study was to explore how sharing anti-bias children’s books in literature small groups in a lower elementary Montessori class affects children’s perceptions of and ability to communicate about themselves, their families, and others, as well as the classmates with whom they choose to associate. The sample studied in this research was a class of 20 children aged six to nine at a private Montessori school located in a small town adjacent to a large Midwestern city. Data was collected through pre and post oral interviews, written reading reflection worksheets, and daily teacher observations of children’s work and play partners. The study found that anti-bias literature small groups are an effective way to improve children’s perceptions of themselves and their ability to communicate about human difference. More research is needed about how to improve children’s perceptions of their families and their ability to communicate about human similarity. Additionally, a longer intervention period and refined data collection tool are recommended in order to learn more about the impact of anti-bias literature small groups on children’s choice of work and play partners.
