Patterns of Concentration in Montessori Preschools: Investigating Concentration When Children are Free to Choose Their Own Work

Available from: University of Virginia

See More

Abstract/Notes: One key characteristic of Montessori classrooms is that children freely choose to engage with whatever they are most interested in. A common concern about Montessori is thus whether students will concentrate on their work throughout the day, and even whether they will actually choose to work at all. We completed 115 observations of children in Montessori Primary classrooms (ages 3-6), coding for children’s concentration and activity across two to three hours in the morning. The best fitting model of concentration across time was a quartic model, including age. This model indicated that 3-year-olds had two bouts of concentration, with a brief period of fatigue mid-morning. Four-year-olds showed an increased ability to concentrate across the entire morning, with minimal indication of fatigue. Five-year-olds showed a higher level of concentration than their younger peers, and were able to concentrate longer than the 3-year-olds, but this was followed by a period of fatigue. These findings are in line with Montessori theory, and suggest that children do freely choose to concentrate on their work. In regard to activities that children chose to do, we found children choose to spend a majority of the time engaged in work. Further, children distributed their time across all areas of the classroom, indicating that choice does not limit their exposure to any one area of learning.

Abstract/Notes: 본 연구는 유아교육기관의 환경을 구성하는 교육프로그램 중에서 몬테소리 교육프로그램과 다중지능의 관련성을 살펴보고 몬테소리 교육이 유아들의 다중지능에 미치는 영향을 밝힘으로써 몬테소리 교육프로그램의 효율성을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 몬테소리 교육프로그램은 유아의 다중지능 발달에 효과적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 둘째, 다중지능 하위요인 중에는 몬테소리 교육프로그램이 유아의 음악지능과 신체-운동지능 발달에는 별다른 영향을 미치지 않았으나 논리/수학지능과 공간지능, 언어지능, 대인관계지능, 개인내지능, 자연지능 발달에는 효과적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이상의 결과를 통해서 볼 때, 몬테소리 교육프로그램은 유아의 다중지능 발달을 도울 수 있는 효과적인 교수방법 중의 하나임을 알 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 몬테소리 교과과정과 교재는 다중지능의 하위구성요인과 연결되어 있고 다양한 공통적 활동을 하고 있으며, 준비된 환경은 다중지능발달에 효과적인 교육환경임을 밝혀내었다.

Abstract/Notes: A video-based modeling handwriting program for lowercase letter formation was embedded in a Montessori preschool phonics curriculum in one of two Montessori classrooms for 16 weeks. Children could view the DVD on request during phonics lesson time. Phonics skill and letter sequencing patterns improved for the children in both classrooms. The children with access to viewing the video-based modeling showed greater improvement in letter legibility. As part of early intervening services, occupational therapy practitioners may be called upon to make recommendations that benefit all the children in a classroom. Video-based modeling was compatible with the Montessori phonics curriculum and effective for this group.
