Deney grubunda yer alan çocukların ön test ve son test puan ortalamalarının karşılaştırılmasında ve kontrol grubunda yer alan çocukların ön test ve son test puan ortalamalarının karşılaştırılmasında, bağımlı gruplarda t testi kullanılmıştır. Deney grubu ve kontrol grubunun ön test ve son test sonuçları arasındaki ortalama puan farkını bulmak amacıyla da bağımsız gruplarda t testi yapılmıştır. Ayrıca deney ve kontrol grubunda yer alan çocukların, cinsiyet değişkenine göre, temel bilimsel süreç becerisi ortalama puanları arasındaki farkın karşılaştırılmasında Mann-Whitney U testi yapılmıştır. Veri analizleri sonucunda elde edilen araştırma bulguları şu şekilde sıralanmaktadır: • Deney grubu çocukların ön test puan ortalamaları ve kontrol grubu çocukların ön test puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı bulunmuştur. •Deney grubu çocukların son test puan ortalamaları ve kontrol grubu çocukların son test puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark anlamlıdır. Deney grubu çocukların son test puan ortalamaları, kontrol grubu çocukların son test puan ortalamalarından anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir. •Deney grubunda yer alan çocukların, ön test-son test puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark anlamlıdır. Son test puan ortalamaları, ön test puan ortalamalarından anlamlı düzeyde yüksektir. •Kontrol grubunda yer alan çocukların, ön test-son test puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı bulunmuştur. •Deney grubunda yer alan çocukların, cinsiyet değişkenine göre, ön test puan ortalamaları karşılaştırıldığı zaman cinsiyet değişkenine göre puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı bulunmuştur. Son test puan ortalamaları incelendiğinde erkek öğrencilerin puan ortalamalarının, kız öğrencilerin puan ortalamalarından anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. •Kontrol grubunda yer alan çocukların, cinsiyet değişkenine göre, ön test puan ortalamaları ve son test puan ortalamaları karşılaştırıldığında, cinsiyet değişkenine göre puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı bulunmuştur. Bu araştırma sonuçları doğrultusunda elde edilen sonuçlar; Montessori Eğitim Programının okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının bilimsel süreç becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde pozitif yönlü bir katkı sağladığı görülmüştür. Bilimsel süreç becerilerinin kazanımında ve desteklenmesinde ise Montessori Eğitim Programının MEB Okul Öncesi Eğitim Programına göre daha etkilidir.

Abstract/Notes: The problem of this study was to determine if there is a significant difference between the academic achievement scores of students in grades 2 through 5 who are taught with the Montessori method of instruction and those students who are taught with traditional methods of instruction in the Helena Public Schools. Analyses used a two-way ANOVA; method and gender as well as method and aptitude were examined. The level of significance was set at alpha =.05. A matching technique was used to match Montessori students with students from traditional classrooms by the independent variables of grade, aptitude, gender, socioeconomic conditions, and handicapping conditions. The study also examined if there was a significant difference between the aptitude of all students in Montessori classrooms and all students in traditional classrooms. The population studied was second, third, fourth, and fifth grade students during the spring of 1996. A total of 120 students was used in the study of academic achievement. There were 145 F-tests conducted in this study. At the second grade level, students from traditional classrooms scored significantly higher than students in Montessori classrooms in mathematics computation and mathematics concepts and applications. Also at the second grade, when aptitude was taken into consideration, Montessori low aptitude students scored significantly higher in vocabulary than low aptitude students in traditional classrooms. There were no significant findings in any of the subtests at the third and fourth grade levels. At the fifth grade level, Montessori students scored significantly higher in language expression and social studies. Interaction was found with aptitude in language expression and with gender in science. A comparison of the aptitude of all Montessori students to all students from traditional classrooms revealed that Montessori students scored significantly higher. The overall results of this study show that the Montessori method of instruction and the traditional method of instruction provide students with comparable achievement test scores. A longitudinal study is recommended to examine the long-term effects of academic achievement of those students taught by the Montessori method of instruction.

Abstract/Notes: Montessori education was developed over a century ago. Dr. Montessori and her followers designed learning environments to meet the academic, social and psychological needs of students from eighteen months to eighteen years old. Within her writings and books, Dr. Montessori described strategies and structures that support autonomy, competence and relatedness. These same supports are found within Self-determination Theory (SDT) literature. Research points towards a link between satisfaction of the basic needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness and increased resilience, goal achievement, and feelings of well-being. . This study examined the influence of enrollment on the development of self- determination in a Montessori middle school which is intentionally created to support the development of autonomy, competence, and relatedness on adolescents. Bounded by self-determination, critical, and student voice theory, this research was designed to give voice to the most important stakeholders in education, add to the discourse on middle school reform, and provide the perspective of the student to the critique of middle level education. Based on the analysis of narrative, the major themes which represented all participants in all cycles were indicators of the importance of autonomy and relatedness. Two themes, "choose type of work", "choose order of tasks" illustrate the importance of autonomy to this group of students. The last major theme, "help me stay on top of things" highlighted the importance of relatedness to the study group. From these themes implications for middle level educators, educational leaders and future researchers were developed. Participants in the study voiced strong opinions about practices which supported autonomy and relatedness. Students valued the ability to choose the order of their tasks and the tasks they could choose to demonstrate understanding as well as the ability to re-take tests. These changes require a paradigm shift to a student- centered learning environment. Educational leaders can support this shift through providing staff development and planning time. Future research suggested by this study include studies which could further examine a possible link between relatedness support and student achievement and studies designed to capture the voices of students with a low measured SDT

Abstract/Notes: This study explored why parents choose Montessori schools for their children. Parents from two public (n = 40) and two private (n = 10) Montessori schools responded to a written survey designed to discern what characteristics parents valued in making their decision. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and chi-square tests were used to understand the trends present in parents‟ responses. Comparisons were made between public and private Montessori parents to explore the overarching themes and to determine differences that existed between the two types of parents. The researcher conducted thirteen interviews designed to elicit additional information about why the parents chose Montessori programs and to confirm the results of the quantitative data. Open-ended survey items and interview transcripts were coded using content analysis. Public and private Montessori school parents valued similar factors and characteristics with a few significant differences. Public Montessori parents valued diversity and free tuition while private Montessori parents placed higher value on academic programming. Information obtained from the participants indicated several areas of opportunity for schools to develop creative marketing strategies and to employ innovative strategies for improvement.
