Abstract/Notes: An essential resource for all students and scholars of early childhood education, this book offers a rich array of material about Maria Montessori and the Montessori Method. Distinguished education scholar Gerald Gutek begins with an in-depth biography of Montessori, exploring how a determined young woman overcame the obstacles that blocked her educational and career opportunities in Italy during the late Victorian age. The author then analyzes the sources and influences that shaped the Montessori philosophy of education. After laying the foundation for Montessori's development, Gutek presents an annotated and abridged edition of The Montessori Method (1912), the seminal work that introduced her educational innovations to a U.S. audience. The book concludes with key historical documents, including disciple Anne E. George's notes on the Montessori lectures and William H. Kilpatrick's critique of the Montessori method. Preserving the historical context of Montessori's contribution, Gutek also shows the continuing relevance of her thought to educational reform in the twenty-first century.

Abstract/Notes: The study examined the impact of Montessori method and conventional method of teaching on the academic achievement of primary school pupils in Enugu East LGA, Enugu State, Nigeria. The design of the study is ex-post facto. Eighty six (86) pupils from primaries 5, 4, 3 and 2 from each school were sampled from a population of 419 pupils. Three research questions and three null hypothesis guided the study. Instrument for data collection was state uniformed examination questions (SUEQ). The data were analyzed using frequency distribution and tables were analyzed using frequency distribution tables and percentages as well as bar charts to answer the research questions while analysis of variance one-way ANOVA was used at 0.05 level of significance to test the null hypothesis. The result of the analysis showed that Montessori method of teaching has a greater impact on the academic achievement of pupils than the conventional method. Gender was no significant factor in pupils performed creditably. The study recommended that Montessori’s method of teaching allows experiential learning in a conducive environment and asuch Government school should set up Montessori schools in the state. Teachers should be exposed to seminar and workshops on the use of Montessori’s method of teaching in state schools.

Literacy in Kindergarten: Using the Montessori Method in Combination with the Daily 5 Method
Available from: St. Catherine University
See More
Abstract/Notes: This action research project was conducted to investigate the impact of merging the literacy program The Daily 5 with the Montessori Method of reading instruction. This project was intended to study the independent reading stamina of the students. It was conducted in a public Montessori School with kindergarten aged students from an early childhood classroom. There were 13 students participating, six girls and seven boys. Pre-assessment data was gathered in the forms of a parent survey and a baseline student reading assessment. Student stamina was recorded on a daily log and student reflections were recorded once a week. After the project was complete, the parents and students were surveyed for final reflection. The results show that when students are able to choose their own books, their stamina for reading improves. More research needs to be done to investigate the impact of the other four areas from the Daily 5 model in combination with Montessori Literacy.
