Abstract/Notes: Keith Sawyer views the spontaneous collaboration of group creativity and improvisation actions as "group flow," which organizations can use to function at optimum levels. Sawyer establishes ideal conditions for group flow: group goals, close listening, complete concentration, being in control, blending egos, equal participation, knowing team mates, good communication, and being progress-oriented. Collaboration is an essential ingredient of group flow and is vital to the Montessori classroom. The author has included a notes section with bibliographic information.

Abstract/Notes: Dataset — System Diversity (SD) and Spatio-Temporal Diversity (STD) values (as defined in [Vohryzek2020]) estimated on two groups of children (6-12 y.o.) from Montessori and traditional schools. We provide the values for the two groups and values from 1000 permutations between groups.

Abstract/Notes: Across development, experience has a strong impact on the way we think and adapt. School experience affects academic and social-emotional outcomes, yet the extent to which pedagogy modulates underlying brain network development is still unknown. In this study, we compared brain network dynamics of students with different pedagogical backgrounds. Specifically, we characterized the diversity and stability of brain activity at rest by combining both resting-state fMRI and diffusion-weighted structural imaging data of 87 4-18 years-old students experiencing either the Montessori pedagogy (i.e., student-led, trial-and-error pedagogy) or the traditional pedagogy (i.e., teacher-led, test-based pedagogy). Our results revealed spatiotemporal brain dynamics differences between students as a function of schooling experience at the whole-brain level. Students from Montessori schools showed overall higher functional integration (higher system diversity) and neural stability (lower spatiotemporal diversity) compared to traditionally-schooled students. Higher integration was explained mainly through the cerebellar (CBL) functional network, while higher temporal stability was observed in the ventral attention (VA), dorsal attention (DA), somatomotor (SM), frontoparietal (FP), and CBL functional networks. This study suggests a form of experience-dependent dynamic functional connectivity plasticity, in learning-related networks.

Abstract/Notes: Modification of Montessori Games on Fine Motor Skills in Early Childhood Group A Al Ijtihad Kindergarten Abstract Early childhood children are unique individuals in that they have different needs according to their age stages. At this time the process of growth and development in various physical, social, emotional and cognitive aspects is experiencing the fastest period in the development of human life. The results of observations in the field show that fine motor skills in group A Al Ijtihad Kindergarten are still low and experiencing delays. The fine motor activities provided do not really stimulate children's development and educators' strategies in delivering learning are still not appropriate. Montessori games, which are a learning method that depends on each student, have the advantage of fostering critical thinking, collaborating and acting more decisively, so it is important to implement them in the learning process to improve children's fine motor skills. The aim of this research is to determine the results of implementing modified Montessori games on fine motor skills in group A of Al Ijtihad Kindergarten. The research design used in this research is the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method, which aims to determine the progress of student learning outcomes after being given certain learning methods. The results of the study showed that there was an increase in children's fine motor skills by 55% based on evaluations from cycle 1 and cycle II. It is hoped that further research can expand the research area and sample size, as well as include various variations of games to develop aspects of children's abilities. / Anak usia dini merupakan individu yang unik dimana mereka mempunyai kebutuhan berbeda sesuai dengan tahapan usianya. Pada masa ini proses pertumbuhan dan perkembangan dalam berbagai aspek fisik, sosial emosional, kognitif sedang mengalami masa tercepat dalam rentang perkembangan kehidupan manusia. Hasil observasi di lapangan menunjukan bahwa kemampuan motorik halus pada kelompok A TK Al Ijtihad masih rendah dan mengalami keterlambatan. Kegiatan motorik halus yang diberikan tidak benar-benar menstimulus perkembangan anak dan strategi pendidik dalam menyampaikan pembelajaran masih kurang tepat. Permainan Montessori yang merupakan metode belajar yang bergantung pada masing-masing anak didik, memiliki keunggulan dalam menumbuhkan kekritisan berfikir, berkolaborasi, dan bertindak lebih tegas, sehingga penting untuk diimplentasikan dalam proses pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hasil implementasi modifikasi permainan montessori terhadap kemampuan motorik halus pada kelompok A TK Al Ijtihad. Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK), yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui progres hasil belajar siswa setelah diberikan metode pembelajaran tertentu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan motorik halus anak sebesar 55% berdasarkan evaluasi dari siklus 1 dan siklus II. Penelitian lebih lanjut diharapkan dapat memperluas area penelitian dan jumlah sampel, serta memasukkan berbagai variasi permainan untuk mengembangkan aspek kemampuan anak.
