Minority Student Performance: Is the Montessori Magnet School Effective?

Available from: ERIC

See More

Abstract/Notes: Available scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and Metropolitan Achievement Test-6 tests, administered between 1984 and 1988 to 88 students enrolled in a Montessori magnet program in the Houston Independent School District, were statistically analyzed. The t test for independent samples was computed to determine if minority students' scores differed significantly from test norms and district means. The study also computed analysis of variance in an effort to identify significant internal variance. Students in the subject population consisted of three cohorts: student were 31 percent Black, 26 percent Hispanic, and 39 percent White. Score analysis indicated that test performance of minority students in the Montessori magnet program was significantly higher than either the test norms or district means. The study concluded that Hispanic and Black students who have been enrolled in a Montessori magnet program for a year or more have impressive academic advantages. The students demonstrated mastery of subject material, measured by standardized tests, in all subtest areas. However, while the Montessori program has reduced deficiencies in minority achievement, it has not eliminated them. Even after several years in a Montessori program, race-related differences in student performance remain. Over 90 references are cited.

Abstract/Notes: The aim of the research is to investigate a Montessori pedagogic approach, enabling a Jewish school to be part of the Chinese international-school system, while fostering Jewish identity. We conducted semistructured interviews with principals (2), teachers (8), parents (12), and students (10) and recorded class observations (8) over two visits. The analysis employed a grounded theory approach using a constant comparative method. The main result was that Montessori principles enabled the school to foster a strong particularistic Jewish identity for this situational minority while also developing a broad understanding of the host (Chinese) culture.

The Minority Voice Demands More Choice: Why that Choice Should be Montessori

Available from: Temple University - Scholar Share

Montessori method of education - Criticism, interpretation, etc., School choice

See More

Abstract/Notes: This paper proposes schools diversify educational programs to combat inequities perpetuated by school choice. For example, the Montessori method, which contains social and emotional development aspects, also decenters the instructor, therein reducing unconscious bias to non-majority students. Federal funding mechanisms have not adequately recognized the efficacy of alternative educational programs and thus limited the viability of such programs in school choice systems.
