Abstract/Notes: The results of the research of etalon images formation in pre-school children with developmental delay are analyzed. The authors focus on sensory models development in children with mental development delay (MDD), also define the main directions of sensory models development in senior pre-school age children with MDD by means of Montessori materials. Classes are conducted in specially prepared environment. As Montessori approach requires the division of the activity room into several zones, standard ones are considered to be: natural zone, practical life zone, sensory zone, language zone, and mathematical zone. The task of a teacher is to adjust to the kid’s interests. It is important to create the environment for realization of his or her ideas and actions.

Abstract/Notes: Abstract Montessori has become one of early learning methods chosen by Indonesian parentsat this moment, formally through education institution, or informally through selflearning at home (Bigceglia, 2014; Woo, 2014); both dedicated for normal and special needs kids (Cipta, et al,, 2019). Montessori education needs Montessori aparatus(specially designed Montessori tools to support sensorial learning) which is relativelyexpensive. Early learning education is normally done within 2-3 hours at school, thusthese toddlers spend most of their time at home. Thus it is clear there is need for parents to stimulate them in the right way, one of the way is by providing Montessoriaparatus or other more affordable sensorial toys. Using multiple methods of data gathering (primary & secondary), toy redesign, design iteration, user product trial andreview; the result of this research is 12 new Montessori toys integrated in coffee table,which add values in terms of multifunction, price, quality, and still apply Montessoriconcept.  Abstrak Montessori menjadi salah satu metode pendidikan usia dasar yang dipilihorang tua Indonesia saat ini, baik secara formal melalui institusi pendidikanresmi, maupun secara informal melalui pembelajaran otodidak di rumah(Bisceglia, 2014; Woo, 2014); baik diperuntukkan untuk anak normal maupununtuk anak berkebutuhan khusus (Cipta, et al., 2019). Pendidikan Montessori sarat dengan aparatus Montessori yang relatif mahal (alat bermain khasMontessori yang dirancang sedemikian rupa untuk mendukung pembelajaran sensori). Dengan durasi PAUD kurikulum apapun yang hanya 2-3 jam disekolah, anak usia dini biasanya lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu di rumah,sehingga jelas ada kebutuhan orang tua untuk memberikan stimulasi yangtepat untuk tumbuh kembang anak, dan salah satunya adalah dengan aparatus Montessori atau mainan sensori lainnya yang lebih terjangkau. Denganberbagai metode pengumpulan data primer dan sekunder, redesain mainan,proses iterasi desain, uji coba produk ke pengguna; dirancang 12 produkmainan Montessori baru yang terintegrasi dengan meja kopi ruang tamu,yang memiliki nilai tambah dari sisi multifungsi, harga, kualitas, dan tetapmengindahkan konsep Montessori.

Abstract/Notes: Brain hemispheres develop rather symmetrically, except in the case of pathology or intense training. As school experience is a form of training, the current study tested the influence of pedagogy on morphological development through the cortical thickness (CTh) asymmetry index (AI). First, we compared the CTh AI of 111 students aged 4 to 18 with 77 adults aged > 20. Second, we investigated the CTh AI of the students as a function of schooling background (Montessori or traditional). At the whole-brain level, CTh AI was not different between the adult and student groups, even when controlling for age. However, pedagogical experience was found to impact CTh AI in the temporal lobe, within the parahippocampal (PHC) region. The PHC region has a functional lateralization, with the right PHC region having a stronger involvement in spatiotemporal context encoding, while the left PHC region is involved in semantic encoding. We observed CTh asymmetry toward the left PHC region for participants enrolled in Montessori schools and toward the right for participants enrolled in traditional schools. As these participants were matched on age, intelligence, home-life and socioeconomic conditions, we interpret this effect found in memory-related brain regions to reflect differences in learning strategies. Pedagogy modulates how new concepts are encoded, with possible long-term effects on knowledge transfer.

Abstract/Notes: Objectives: Alzheimer's is the most prevalent cognitive disturbance, with a high spread among the elderly. The current research aims to investigate the impact of cognitive rehabilitation on the memory improvement of Alzheimer's disease patients. | Methods: The current research used a semi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test designs. The statistical population in Baghdad in 2021 included 60 patients with Alzheimer's illness, all considered a statistical sample and separated into two experimental and control groups (30 people in each group). The patient's cognitive abilities were assessed prior to the intervention (pre-test), straightly after the intervention (post-test), and two months later (follow-up). The experimental group had twenty-eight 45-minute sessions of training based on the Montessori Method (two sessions per week). The data were analyzed in SPSS version 19 using the independent t-test and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results have a P-value of less than 0.05. | Results: The findings of the independent t-test demonstrated that there is no significant differ between the scores of the both groups during the pre-test stage (P>0.05) but that this difference is significant during the post-test and follow-up stages (P<0.001). In addition, the findings of repeated measures ANOVA indicated a significant differ between the both groups' mean scores in post-test and follow-up (P<0.001). | Conclusion: Cognitive rehabilitation can help patients with memory disorders and positively affect their memory performance.

Abstract/Notes: While students are receiving a high-quality education within the classroom, some students face difficulty performing adequately on assessments. These students typically receive intervention support to assist in increasing their skill deficits. However, many schools are unaware of the different approaches they can implement within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports framework. While utilizing a standard protocol has been the preferred method, many schools are currently implementing the problem-solving approach because it targets one skill the student is struggling with. Little research has been conducted comparing or combining the two approaches leading schools to be clueless about which one will provide more positive results. A synthesis of articles implementing one or both approaches was conducted to determine which approach would work best in a Montessori school. Results showed an individualized approach might assist students more based on higher effect sizes. However, some researchers who compared the two approaches indicate both approaches are comparable in yielding positive results. To implement interventions effectively, educators must use an evidence-based intervention that’s explicit and structured, screen and monitor progress to make informed decisions, and implement the intervention with fidelity.
