Abstract/Notes: [...]when the students have mastered the contents of the manual and the use of dive equipment in the pool, they are ready to practice their skills in the open ocean and eventually to conduct underwater research for any number of inquiry-based marine science projects. Because MHOK is a relatively small school (60-75 students, depending on the year), its Upper Elementary and Middle School students are combined in one classroom (usually 16-24 students)-which MHOK refers to as its "Upper School"-with a head teacher responsible for coordinating the entire fourth- through eighth-year curricula. In addition to studying the physical aspects of coral, students also investigated the ecological and economic importance of coral, discovering five main uses: 1) food-500 million people worldwide rely on fish that live in coral reefs, and $31 million is generated annually from worldwide fish sales; 2) habitat-corals not only provide habitat for a wide variety of fish and marine invertebrates but also provide areas for spawning, mating, and feeding; 3) tourism-places with healthy reefs earn hundreds of millions of dollars per year from tourist activities such as snorkeling and scuba diving; 4) medicine-coral reefs are important sources for ingredients in medicines to treat heart disease, cancer, poisonous stings, and burns and for general skin care; and 5) coastal protection-coral reefs provide stability to coastlines and protection against ocean storms and floods, and also help to slow down wave breaks and even tsunamis. [...]students created a slide show-complete with discussion, diagrams, photos, graphs, and references-from their research and collected data.

Abstract/Notes: Literature regarding Montessori-based activities with older adults with dementia is fairly common with early stages of dementia. Conversely, research on said activities with individuals experiencing late-stage dementia is limited because of logistical difficulties in sampling and data collection. Given the need to understand risks and benefits of treatments for individuals with late-stage dementia, specifically regarding their mental and behavioral health, this study sought to evaluate the effects of a Montessori-based activity program implemented in a long-term care facility. Utilizing an interrupted time series design, trained staff completed observation-based measures for 43 residents with late-stage dementia at three intervals over six months. Empirical measures assessed mental health (anxiety, psychological well-being, quality of life) and behavioral health (problem behaviors, social engagement, capacity for activities of daily living). Group differences were observed via repeated measures ANOVA and paired-samples t-tests. The aggregate, longitudinal results—from baseline to final data interval—for the psychological and behavioral health measures were as follows: problem behaviors diminished though not significantly; social engagement decreased significantly; capacities for activities of daily living decreased significantly; quality of life increased slightly but not significantly; anxiety decreased slightly but not significantly; and psychological well-being significantly decreased. Improvements observed for quality of life and problem behaviors may yield promise for Montessori-based activities and related health care practices. The rapid physiological and cognitive deterioration from late-stage dementia should be considered when interpreting these results.
