The Montessori Method in America: Montessori Schools in New York and Rhode Island from 1910-1940
Available from: Loyola University Chicago
See More
Abstract/Notes: During the very early twentieth century, Dr. Maria Montessori produced a pedagogical approach that permitted the developmental delayed, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and the youngest of children to advance their cognition and adaptive skills to conventional standards. Her renowned "Montessori Method" was unleashed in 1906 in her home country of Italy and found its way to the shore of the United States soon after. This research will compare the implementation of the Montessori Method in two states, Rhode Island and New York. Both states invested time and money into the instructional ideals of Dr. Montessori in response to the advice of educators and, as is frequently overlooked in the scholarly literature, at the request of parents and community organizations. This study will focus on policy implementation: the how and the who, and on the overall growth and decline of Montessori programs, concentrating on the role parents played.

Children's Well-Being in Traditional vs. Montessori Schools: A Test of Self-Determination Theory
See More
Abstract/Notes: The present study is a test of Self -Determination theory, which is well established in the field of education with a huge body of empirical evidence to support its assumptions that when the three universal psychological needs (Autonomy, Competence & Relatedness) of a child are met they will grow and function optimally leading to enhanced well-being. It is evident that Montessori philosophy is overlapping with the components of SDT. This study was conducted to examine the extent to which the three psychological needs are satisfied in Montessori schools in comparison to the Traditional schools. A purposive sample size of 80 children in elementary grades was selected from both Montessori and Traditional schools. Perceived support experienced by the children and their Well-Being was determined to establish the assumption of the SDT. The results showed that children in Montessori schools experienced greater satisfaction of needs when compared to traditional school children. However, the well-being of children from both school types didn’t vary much and the causes can be attributed to factors outside classroom. These findings have some strong implications for policy makers, educators and parents.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation in Montessori Schools: Teachers Speak

Abstract/Notes: In my study I examined the practices of Montessori educators in motivating children in a classroom setting. I interviewed 6 Montessori educators from various schools in the eastern, southern and northern parts of Ontario to share their first hand experiences and knowledge. Although these Montessori educators believe that intrinsic motivation without extrinsic should be sufficient motivation the results from the study indicated that 5 of these 6 teachers employ both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to keep the children on task and interested in their work. The findings indicate that only 1 educator utilizes intrinsic motivation exclusively. The results indicate that 5 of the 6 participants believe that children require the addition of external factors, such as praise, achievement levels and stickers, free and self directed time to motivate students to complete their work.
