Abstract/Notes: This study explored the effect of fine motor skill activities on the development of attention in kindergarteners (n = 68) in five classes at a suburban public school in the Intermountain West through a pretest/posttest experimental group (n = 36) control group (n = 32) design. All children received the regular curriculum which included typical fine motor activities such as painting, coloring, writing, and play activities with small items. The treatment was a series of supplemental fine motor activities in which children used tongs, tweezers, and spoons to move small items. The assessment was the attention subtest of the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) (Naglieri, J. A., & Das, J. P. (1997a). Cognitive assessment system. Itasca, IL: Riverside). A significant group × sex interaction with females positively responding to the treatment was found, suggesting that fine motor skill activities are effective in increasing female kindergartners’ attention. Further studies exploring effective materials for males and factors such as student choice and interest are needed.

Abstract/Notes: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Montessori education which is offered to upskill the attention gathering skill of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In total fifteen preschooler participants, six girls and nine boys who are diagnosed with ADHD (7 of the children with ADHD, 8 with only AD), joined to this research. This is a research designed with pre-post test design study with a control group of experimental design. In this research with the aim of improving the attention gathering level; eye-hand coordination, development of tactile, visual and auditory senses and for improving their acquired distinctiveness “tactile boards, sound boxes, binomial cubes and color tablets” are used from Montessori materials. FTFK Attention test is applied to children before and after the intervention. After the training, when scores are compared, the significant improvement is seen in their post test scores.

Abstract/Notes: María Montessori empezó a descubrir la infancia a partir de la capacidad que el niño pequeño tiene de polarizar su atención. En la base de la capacidad de atención están los poderes de la mente absorbente que hoy los estudios de la neurociencia han descubierto con indiscutibles pruebas empíricas. Su pedagogía puede definirse como pedagogía de la atención: atención hacia el niño, atención hacia los detalles, atención hacia la atención del niño. Los estudios sobre la capacidad de atención y sobre la relación entre la atención y la memoria confirman que es necesario proporcionar a los niños la posibilidad de concentrarse durante largo tiempo en una actividad (trabajo) con materiales adecuados y sin interrumpirlos jamás. Actualmente existen múltiples y variadas tecnologías de la información que fragmentan y fomentan una tendencia a la atención superficial en los niños y en los jóvenes. Por esto, la propuesta educativa y didáctica montessoriana resulta más actual hoy que al inicio del pasado siglo. [Montessori began her discovery of childhood starting from the polarization of attention in young children. Behind attention are the powers of the absorbent mind that neuroscience today is discovering with irrefutable empirical evidence. It is the pedagogy of attention: attention to the child, attention to the details, focus on the attention of the child. Studies on attention and the relationship between attention and memory have confirmed that it is necessary to give children the opportunity to focus on a specific activity for a long time using suitable materials, without interruptions. Today, there are many technologies that break up the attention of children and young people. This is why Montessori education and teaching is more relevant today than at the beginning of the last century.]

Abstract/Notes: This study developed a typology of recommended teacher practices related to whole-group instruction in preschool classrooms and examined the relationship between teachers' use of the practices and children's attentiveness. Thirty-nine classrooms in 31 schools (15 public and 16 private) were observed during regularly scheduled whole-group instruction sessions. Bivariate correlations indicated a positive relationship between children's attentiveness and number of practices that teachers used, but not between attentiveness and length of activity. Regression analyses suggested a set of eight specific practices that are related, with length of activity, to children's attentiveness.

Abstract/Notes: The child's attention, how this attention is reasoned about, and how attention works as a surface for pedagogical intervention are central to understanding modern schooling. This article examines attention as an object of knowledge related to the organization and management of individuals. I address what we might learn about attention by studying one specific Montessori classroom, the glasswalled public demonstration set up at the 1915 San Francisco World's Fair. The pedagogy of attention on display and the spectatorship of the classroom provide an opportunity to rethink how power and subjectivity play in the formation of human attractions. I argue that thinking through Montessori offers important and relevant suggestions for present-day examinations of attention. The 1915 demonstration classroom can help us theorize the relation of attention to normalizing and governmentalizing practices. This specific study of how attention operates in one locale has implications for tactile learning theories and for the analytics of power to be used in studies of attention. -- ERIC
