Abstract/Notes: The problem of this study was to measure the effectiveness of a public school Montessori program. The purpose of this study was to measure and compare student academic achievement and self-concept, attendance and promotion rates, and level of parental involvement in the schools of students enrolled in public school Montessori and traditional programs. The 95 subjects in this study were third-grade subjects selected from the student populations in Montessori and traditional school sites. The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) was used as the pre-test scores, and the Norm-referenced Assessment Program for Texas (NAPT) was used as the post-test scores to compare academic achievement in reading and mathematics. Multiple regression was used to compare the levels of academic achievement and self-concept. Multiple regression was also used to test for possible relationship between the Montessori and traditional programs and gender and ethnicity. The findings of the study were as follows: (1) There were no significant differences in the adjusted mean reading scores between the Montessori group and the traditional group in the third grade. (2) There were no significant differences in the adjusted mean mathematics scores between the Montessori group and the traditional group in the third grade. (3) There were no significant differences in the attendance rate of third-grade subjects participating in a public school Montessori program and third-grade subjects participating in a public school traditional program. (4) There were no significant differences in the promotion rate of third-grade subjects participating in a public school Montessori program and third-grade subjects participating in a public school traditional program. (5) There were no significant differences in the adjusted mean scores in the self-concept measure of third-grade subjects in both programs. (6) There were no differences in the nature and magnitude of parental involvement in school activities.

Abstract/Notes: The subject of practice-based thesis was children’s emotional skills and emotional education in early childhood education. The mandator of the research, Montessori Daycare of Lahti had a need for tailored emotional education material for their daily life in the daycare. The aim of thesis was to produce functional material for emotional education and a guide for the use of the material to the mandator, Montessori Daycare of Lahti. The needs from Montessori Daycare’s daily life guided the planning process and it was developed by implementing short functional lessons on emotions with a small group of children. The purpose of the thesis was to give tools for emotional education for early childhood educators. The end product of thesis was emotional education -package, which contains puppets made by hand, some essential equipment for drama and a guide for implementing emotional education lessons. The package was designed so that it can be easily handled and carried around, which enables having lessons also outside of the daycare environment. The exterior of the package is designed to be in line with its contents and as a whole the material follows the guiding principles of Montessori education. Based on the trial use of the material and the following evaluation, the emotional education -package was found to be well functioning and the material can be used in the daily life of the daycare in addition to emotional education lessons. This shows that the aim and purpose of the thesis, producing tools for emotional education for early childhood educators, has been achieved. / Toiminnallisen opinnäytetyön aiheena oli tunnetaidot sekä tunnekasvatus varhaiskasvatuksessa. Aihe tuli toimeksiantajalta Lahden Montessori-leikkikoululta, jolla oli selkeä tarve heille räätälöityyn tunnekasvatusmateriaaliin. Työn tavoitteena oli tuottaa tunnekasvatuksen toiminnallinen opas ja siihen liittyvä materiaali Lahden Montessori-leikkikoululle. Materiaali suunniteltiin päiväkodin arjesta nousseiden tarpeiden mukaan, ja sitä kehitettiin toteuttamalla toiminnallisia tunnehetkiä päiväkodin lapsiryhmälle. Opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli antaa varhaiskasvattajien käyttöön lisää työkaluja tunnekasvatukseen, tunteiden tunnistamiseen, nimeämiseen ja käsittelyyn lasten kanssa. Opinnäytetyön tuotoksena valmistui tunnekasvatussalkku, joka sisältää itse valmistetut käsinuket, tarvittavat draamavälineet sekä oppaan tunnehetkien toteuttamista varten. Salkku on suunniteltu niin, että sitä on helppo käsitellä ja se on kätevästi mukaan otettavissa, jolloin tunnehetki on mahdollista toteuttaa myös päiväkodin ulkopuolella. Salkun ulkoasu on suunniteltu yhteneväiseksi sisällön kanssa, ja se on Montessori-oppien mukainen valmisteltu kokonaisuus. Kokeilun ja arvioinnin pohjalta voidaan todeta, että tunnekasvatussalkku on toimiva kokonaisuus, ja materiaalia voidaan hyödyntää myös päiväkodin arjessa varsinaisten tunnehetkien ulkopuolella. Tämän perusteella voidaan todeta, että työn tavoite ja tarkoitus tuottaa varhaiskasvattajille käytännön työkaluja tunnekasvatuksen toteuttamista varten, ovat toteutuneet.
