Abstract/Notes: The Montessori Method underpinned by the principle of person-centered care has been widely adopted to design activities for people with dementia. However, the methodological quality of the existing evidence is fair. The objectives of this study are to examine the feasibility and effects of a culturally adapted group-based Montessori Method for Dementia program in Chinese community on engagement and affect in community-dwelling people with dementia.

Abstract/Notes: Research in effortful control is necessary to understand and support children's behaviors in Social and classroom settings (Rimm-Kaufman, Curby, Grimm, Brock, & Nathanson, 2009). This study reviewed literature discussing the relationship between parenting style and effortful control and Montessori philosophy as it relates to the work in practical life. The literature reviewed in this study suggested that parenting style may also be related to a child's effortful control. In addition, it was expected that the work of practical life in a Montessori classroom would positively influence effortful control in children. Using an experimental design, this study examined the efficacy of a Montessori Table Washing Task to prime effortful control in children ages 3-6. The Mischel Marshmallow Test (Mischel & Baker 1975) was used to test effortful control in the children. Children in the control group received only the Marshmallow Test. Children in the experiment group received a Montessori Table Washing Lesson prior to receiving the Marshmallow Test. Although not statistically significant, there was a difference in the groups. However, in this study, there was no correlation found between parenting style and the effortful control of the children. Implications of this study are that practical life work, like a Montessori Table Washing Task, may positively affect effortful control in pre-school age children.

Abstract/Notes: Previous research on Montessori preschool education is inconsistent and prone to analytic flexibility. In this preregistered study, disadvantaged preschoolers in a French public school were randomly assigned to either conventional or Montessori classrooms, with the latter being adapted to French public education. Adaptations included fewer materials, shorter work periods, and relatively limited Montessori teacher training. Cross-sectional analyses in kindergarten (N = 176; Mage = 5–6) and longitudinal analyses over the 3 years of preschool (N = 70; Mage = 3–6) showed that the adapted Montessori curriculum was associated with outcomes comparable to the conventional curriculum on math, executive functions, and social skills. However, disadvantaged kindergarteners from Montessori classrooms outperformed their peers on reading (d = 0.68). This performance was comparable to that of advantaged children from an accredited Montessori preschool.

Abstract/Notes: It does not require an exceptional amount of insight to see the current attempts by the state and industry to bring schools more closely into line with 'economic needs'. Neither side of the Atlantic has been immune to these pressures. In the UK, The Great Debate and the Green Paper stand as remarkable statements to the ability of capital in times of economic crisis to marshall its forces. As the Green Paper notes:There is a wide gap between the world of education and the world of work. Boys and girls are not sufficiently aware of the importance of industry to our society, and they are not taught much about it.

Abstract/Notes: The present study is to find out influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children, and its purpose is to find out relations between the language control type of a mother and leadership of an children and to find out about how much the language control type affects leadership of an children. Hence, if the research results are summarized in the present research, it is as follows. First, as a result of investigating a relationship between the language control type of a mother and leadership according to a gender of children of 4 years old, it appeared that there is no statistically significant difference in all of the language control type of a mother. Also, the leadership according to a gender of children showed that a boy children is higher than a girl children in only pro-social leadership, and it appeared that a girl children is higher than a boy children in the proactivity, creativity, cognitive abilities and decision-making leadership and there was signigicant difference. Second, the results of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children according to a gender of an children are as follows. 1) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the pro-social leadership of children is raised. 2) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a boy children gets lower. It appeared that as the status-oriented and person-oriented language control types are higher, the proactive leadership of a children gets higher. It appeared that as the status-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a girl children gets lower. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of an children gets higher. 3) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the creative leadership of an children gets higher. 4) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a boy children gets lower, and it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of children gets higher. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a girl children gets higher. 5) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of boy infants gets higher, and it appeared that as the imperative and status-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of girl children gets lower. And it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of children gets higher. Third, as a result of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children of 4 years old, it appeared that as the language control type of a mother gets more person-oriented, the leadership of an children is enhanced. As a result, it can be understood that the language control type of a mother has much influence on children, and first of all, when a mother use the person-oriented language rather than using the imperative and status-oriented language control, it has much influence on the leadership's lower domain of children. / 본 연구에서는 어머니의 언어통제유형이 만 4세 남, 여 유아의 리더십에 미치는 영향에 관하여 알아보았다. 연구의 대상은 유아교육기관에 재원중인 만 4세 유아 400명과 그의 어머니 400명이다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 만 4세 유아 성별에 따른 어머니의 언어통제유형과 리더십은 성별에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아 성별에 따른 어머니의 언어통제유형이 유아리더십에 미치는 영향은 남아·여아 모두 전반적으로 어머니의 인성지향적 언어통제유형이 높을수록 리더십이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 어머니의 언어통제유형이 만 4세 유아의 리더십에 미치는 영향은 어머니가 인성지향적일수록 종속변인인 리더십 5가지 하위요인에 모두 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
