Bridging the Developmental Gap in the Montessori Toddler Classroom
Available from: St. Catherine University

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this research was to determine if the introduction of more developmentally appropriate materials and activities into the toddler classroom would create a more stimulating environment for the older toddlers, increase student engagement, and decrease disruptive behavior. Observations were carried out prior to the introduction of new work and after new work was implemented. This study was conducted in a toddler classroom at a private Montessori school. Children and teachers from the toddler classroom and three early childhood classrooms were included in this project. The results indicated that the older toddlers were more engaged and less disruptive after the introduction of new challenging work into the environment. However, this research was conducted early in the school year and the process of normalization likely impacted the results. Therefore, it is recommended that further research be conducted later in the school year.

Mixed-age grouping in infant/toddler child care: Enhancing developmental processes

Abstract/Notes: This article discusses the benefits of mixed-age grouping in infant/toddler child care programs. Single-age grouping limits the resources available in the room and disrupts developmental processes as young children move from room to room. Benefits of mixed-age grouping are discussed in terms of the children, parents, and teachers.

School Enrolment and Executive Functioning: A Longitudinal Perspective on Developmental Changes, the Influence of Learning Context, and the Prediction of Pre-Academic Skills

Abstract/Notes: The present two-year longitudinal study addressed developmental changes in different aspects of executive functioning (i.e., inhibition, updating, and cognitive flexibility) in a sample of 264 children aged between 5 and 7 years. Of special interest were issues of developmental progression over time, the influence of learning context and the predictive power of executive functions and school context for emerging academic skills. The results revealed pronounced improvements in all executive measures, both over time and as a function of age. For the learning context, small and age-dependent effects on executive skills were found. Inhibition uniquely contributed to the prediction of aspects of emerging academic skills, over and above chronological age and language skills.

Abstract/Notes: Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a rare genetic condition with characteristic facial traits, organ malformations, functional impairment and developmental delay due to partial short arm monosomy of chromosome 4. Although several hundreds of cases have been published to date, a systematic collection of its clinical symptoms and anthropological traits is missing in the literature, and reports on abilities and needs of children with WHS are scanty. Results of detailed physical and developmental phenotype analyses in a 1 10/12-year-old boy with monosomy 4p15.2-pter are presented. Physical analyses were based on systematic data acquisition. They disclosed a total of 32 clinical symptoms and 46 anthropological traits. Developmental analyses were based on the child's interactive play in an environment structured according to Montessori principles. They disclosed a total of 44 abilities and a number of needs to be satisfied by the environment for the support of the child's psychic and intellectual growth. While the physical phenotype is important for the diagnostic process, the developmental phenotype is essential for parental counseling. PMID: 15844776

Abstract/Notes: Background: There is little standardized information on simple and easy-to-use evaluation of fine motor skills in disabled children. The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between unbuttoning and buttoning ability and age and sex difference. Methods: One hundred and forty-four children (63 boys and 81 girls; age range, 36–83 months) and 14 young adults took part in the present study. The children were categorized into four groups according to age. Every subject went to nursery school and/or kindergarten. On the basis of Montessori education system, unbuttoning and buttoning were performed. The time from beginning to end was measured individually. All the participants were instructed to do the task in the same way. Results: The mean time required for unbuttoning activity was decreased until 4 years old, while that for buttoning was also reduced until 5 years old, respectively. There were no significant differences between boys and girls except in unbuttoning activity at the age of 3 years. Conclusion: More attention should be paid to unbuttoning and buttoning activities in children. It might be a simple and easy-to-use evaluation method in the clinical setting.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori is a learning method that uses the surrounding environment as a learning resource. This research is aimed at describing how the Montessori method is applied to Mathematics for students who survive Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS). The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were PDD-NOS grade V SD students in inclusive schools. The research instruments were documentation, observation, and interviews. The results showed that students with PDD-NOS who have delays in communication can more easily accept mathematics learning using the Montessori method. This is supported by the Montessori concept which allows PDD-NOS students to use lego in learning fractions.

Abstract/Notes: Ruhiy rivojlanishi sustlashgan bolalarda odatiy shaxsiy xususiyatlarining sustligi, yoki ko'z oldida bo'lgan hamma narsani idrok etishda qiynalishlar kuzatiladi. Ularning barchasi psixikaning inertligi va o’ta harakatchanligi bilan ajralib turadi, yangi narsaga o'tish, stereotipik harakatlar qilish va eski yodlangan belgilarni takrorlash qiyin kechadi. Bunday bolalar bilan tashkil etiladigan korreksion va pedagogik ishning maqsadi iloji boricha ko'proq bilim berish emas, balki ularning e'tiborini jalb qilish, qiziqtirish, faoliyatga jalb qilish, tasavvurlarini uyg'otishdir, shunda u yanada mustaqil, o'ziga ishongan va haqiqiy hayot sharoitlariga moslashgan boʻladi. Ushbu maqsadni hal qilishda M. Montessori tizimida ishlash samara beradi [In children with mental retardation, there is a lack of normal personality traits, or difficulty in perceiving everything in front of the eyes. All of them are characterized by inertness and extreme mobility of the psyche, it is difficult to switch to something new, perform stereotypical actions and repeat old memorized characters. The goal of correctional and pedagogical work organized with such children is not to give as much knowledge as possible, but to attract their attention, interest, engage in activities, awaken their imagination, so that they become more independent, self-confident and real life. adapted to the conditions. Working in the M. Montessori system is effective in solving this goal]
