Abstract/Notes: Montessori's idea of the child's nature and the teacher's perceptiveness begins with amazing simplicity, and when she speaks of "methods evolved," she is unveiling a methodological system for observation. She begins with the early childhood explosion into writing, which is a familiar child phenomenon that Montessori has written about often. She says to look at the child and a quiet mountain that spews out "fire, smoke and unknown substances" from the interior will be seen. The explosion into writing is compared to a volcano with its dramatic description evoking a mystique of what is inside the child, coming from a place no one can find except through observation. The freedom of activity in the prepared environment is enriching to the child's knowledge and engages the development of character as it supports the moral education of the child.

Abstract/Notes: This study examines the influence of Montessori-based literacy curriculum and instruction on student achievement in Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. I studied 71 matched pairs of urban charter school students (n=142) to determine if there was a statistically significant difference in reading achievement, as measured by the Maryland School Assessment (MSA), between students who were instructed by their teachers in Montessori literacy methods and curriculum and students from a nearby charter school who were instructed by their teachers using a basal reading method. T-tests were used to compare the mean scores of the combined grade levels from each cohort on the 2011-2012 Maryland School Assessment (Reading section). The results of this study suggest that there was no significant difference in reading achievement between the two groups of students. There is very limited empirical research available examining reading achievement in Montessori public charter schools. Further research is recommended with similar groups of students from public Montessori school settings, or in this same setting with a different comparison group or a different evaluation tool.

Montessori Versus Confucius - Jumping Over the Door the Fish Becomes a Dragon: Exploring the Feasibility of the Introduction of Montessori Methods into Chinese School Education
Available from: Monash University

Abstract/Notes: This treatise systematically explores the students' views of school education in Mainland China. It focuses on the feasibility of the introduction of Montessori educational ideas into Chinese school education. The study compares the opinions of the participants on the formal education system adopted in public schools in China and their views on what the Montessori method might constitute, as a prerequisite to discussing the possibility of adopting Montessori methods in these schools. Then it looks at the educational policy that favors such an introduction. The main method used in this study is a survey conducted in a local high school in the northeast of China. The participants were questioned about their satisfaction level with advanced Western educational methods and principles. The author also attempted to gain an insight into the possibility of the adoption of Montessori methods in other public schools in China. To do so, questionnaire covering such areas as learning effectiveness, teaching methods, and the curriculum have been carefully designed and distributed in several public schools. The study showed that while learning is relatively effective, the teaching methods in Mainland China are monotonous, and the curriculum is controlled by examinations. Nevertheless, the monotonous teaching methods show a trend towards being diversified. The statistics also show that those students who were subject to Montessori methods in the early childhood period were less satisfied with the relationship between students and teachers than those who were subject to the traditional teaching methods. However the former subjects are more satisfied with their classmates than are the latter. As far as the curriculum and independence in classrooms are concerned, neither group was satisfied
