Anthropomorphic Media Exposure and Preschoolers' Anthropomorphic Thinking in China

Abstract/Notes: Children’s media is replete with human-like portrayals of animals and objects that wear clothing, speak, drive cars, and experience human emotions. Recent research has shown that anthropomorphic portrayals of animals in books lead children to think anthropomorphically about real animals. Here we asked whether this is also the case for an inanimate object. Specifically, does exposure to an anthropomorphized train, as compared to a real train, increase children’s tendency to make anthropomorphic attributions to real trains? We also investigated whether this effect with books extends to another common medium of presentation: video. Chinese preschoolers (n = 258) ages 4–6 were randomly assigned to watch a video or listen to a book about either a real or an anthropomorphized train. Before and after this exposure, children completed a modified Anthropomorphism Questionnaire–Child Form (IDAQ-CF), which included questions about trains. Children who were exposed to the anthropomorphic book significantly increased in their tendency to view real trains as having human-like qualities, as compared to control children who had no exposure. Video exposure had no effect on the anthropomorphism of trains.

Montessori's Mediation of Meaning: A Social Semiotic Perspective
Available from: University of Sydney Libraries
See More
Abstract/Notes: The distinctive objects designed by Dr Maria Montessori as the centrepiece of her approach to pedagogy are the topic of this study. The Montessori approach to pedagogy, celebrating its centenary in 2007, continues to be used in classrooms throughout the world. Despite such widespread and enduring use, there has been little analysis of the Montessori objects to evaluate or understand their pedagogic impact. This study begins by outlining the provenance of the Montessori objects, reaching the conclusion that the tendency to interpret them from the perspective of the progressive education movement of the early twentieth century fails to provide insights into the developmental potential embodied in the objects. In order to appreciate that potential more fully, the study explores the design of the objects, specifically, the way in which the semiotic qualities embodied in their design orient children to the meanings of educational knowledge. A meta-analytic framework comprising three components is used to analyse the semiotic potential of the Montessori objects as educational artefacts. First, Vygotsky’s model of development is used to analyse the objects as external mediational means and to recognise the objects as complexes of signs materialising educational knowledge. In order to understand how the objects capture, in the form of concrete analogues, the linguistic meanings which construe educational knowledge, systemic functional linguistics, the second component of the framework, is used to achieve a rich and detailed social semiotic analysis of these relations, in particular, material and linguistic representations of abstract educational meanings. Finally, the pedagogic device, a central feature of Bernstein’s sociology of pedagogy, is used to analyse how the Montessori objects re-contextualise educational knowledge as developmental pedagogy. Particular attention is paid to the Montessori literacy pedagogy, in which the study of grammar plays a central role. The study reveals a central design principle which distinguishes the Montessori objects. This principle is the redundant representation of educational knowledge across multiple semiotic modes. Each representation holds constant the underlying meaning relations which construe quanta of educational knowledge, giving children the freedom to engage with this knowledge playfully, independently and successfully. The conclusion drawn from this study is that the design of the Montessori objects represents valuable educational potential which deserves continued investigation, as well as wider recognition and application. To initiate this process, the findings in this study may provide insights which can be used to develop tools for evaluating and enhancing the implementation of Montessori pedagogy in Montessori schools. The findings may also be used to adapt Montessori design principles for the benefit of educators working in non-Montessori contexts, in particular, those educators concerned with developing pedagogies which promote equitable access to educational knowledge.

Abstract/Notes: Beginning writing learning in grade I looks not very interesting because so far the teacher only uses media in the form of textbooks which are usually readily available, this has caused many students to have not mastered initial writing skills. This is due to the lack of use of media that stimulates students' interest in learning to write the beginning. The formulation of the problem raised in this study is how to use Montessori-based Salt Tray media in learning to write beginning in grade I students at SDN 46 Banda Aceh. This study aims to describe the use of Montessori-based Salt Tray media in learning to write beginning in grade I students of SDN 46 Banda Aceh. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research method. The subjects in this study were class I teachers as homeroom teachers at the school. The data collection techniques through observation and interviews. The data collected in this study were teacher and student observation sheets and interviews with a total of 11 questions. Then the data were analyzed with 3 stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the implementation of learning to write beginning using Montessori-based Salt Tray media for class I students at SDN 46 Banda Aceh went very well, and had integrated it with Montessori principles. The existence of Montessori-based Salt Tray media has helped teachers convey material, and students are also enthusiastic about learning while playing, and are more focused on the material being taught. / Pembelajaran menulis permulaan di kelas I terlihat tidakebegitu menarik karena selama ini guru hanya menggunakan media berupa buku teks yang biasanya sudahetersedia, hal tersebut menyebabkan banyak siswa yang belum menguasai keterampilan menulis permulaan.
