An Examination of Implementation Practices in Montessori Early Childhood Education
Available from: American Montessori Society
See More
Abstract/Notes: This study examined to what extent Montessori early childhood education programs in one geographical region of the United States could be classified into homogeneous clusters based on teachers’ reported practices associated with Montessori education. Once identified, the characteristics defining each subgroup were described, and factors supporting or hindering the implementation of recommended practices were examined. Of particular interest was whether the teachers were intentionally or inadvertently making changes to the model, and if modifications were being made, whether these were due to situational factors or to viewpoints that differed from Montessori’s perspectives. Teachers’ beliefs about managing and motivating children were also assessed in relation to their interpretation of the Montessori method in order to examine what role, if any these beliefs played in shaping classroom practices.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to compare the academic achievement of 543 urban 4th- (n=291) and 8th- (n=252) grade students who attended Montessori or traditional education programs. The majority of the sample consisted of minority students (approximately 53 percent), and was considered low income (approximately 67 percent). Students who attended a public Montessori school were compared with students who attended structured magnet, open magnet, and traditional non-magnet public schools on standardized measures of math and language arts. Results of the study failed to support the hypothesis that enrollment in a Montessori school was associated with higher academic achievement. Implications and suggestions for future research are provided.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter outlines the centrality of cosmic education to the Montessori approach for children ages 6 to 12. The chapter examines how cosmic fables, elaborated with Mario Montessori and other collaborators, foster active and participatory experiences. However, in a broader context, cosmic education is a framework within which the entire work of Maria Montessori can be considered. It is the original nucleus of her thought, starting from the early years of the twentieth century. It considers each aspect of a person in relation to every other living form on the planet, including the history of the world, origins of the cosmos, and the role of humans. By extension, it incorporates the history of civilizations and cultures into an educational philosophy with an ultimate goal of universal cooperation, the affirmation of democracy, and ultimately world peace.
