Creating a Constructivist Educational Community Using the Probe and Montessori Methods

Available from: International Society for Performance Improvement

Norman Glenn Shepherd (Author) , Sandra Smith Shepherd (Author)

Publication: Performance Improvement Journal

Date: 2024

Montessori method of education - Criticism, interpretation, etc.

Abstract/Notes: Constructivism advances the notion that the learner constructs his/her learning through interaction with the environment where the learner applies prior knowledge and experiences to new and novel situations. Montessori instructional strategies should be used with young children and then as students gain self-learning and self-disciplinary skills, they should be provided opportunities to use the Probe Method for higher-level thinking combined with the investigation of specific content and any accompanying problems.

Early Education: A Cognitive-Developmental View

Available from: JSTOR

Lawrence Kohlberg (Author)

Publication: Child Development, vol. 39, no. 4

Date: Dec 1968

Pages: 1013-1062

Cognitive development, Early childhood care and education

Abstract/Notes: This paper reviews the implications of the cognitive-developmental theories of Baldwin, Dewey, Piaget, and Vygotsky for preschool education. The conception of cognitive stage basic to these theories is analyzed, and the connection of a stage conception to an interactional (as opposed to a maturationist or environmentalist-training) view of the origins of mental structure is analyzed. Empirical studies are reviewed supporting the validity of this conception of intellectual development. Preschool programs of academic and linguistic training or stimulation are examined from this point of view. The conception of the preschool period as a critical period for the environmental stimulation of general intelligence is examined, considering general intelligence in both psychometric and Piagetian terms. It is concluded that the theories reviewed do not so much imply an emphasis upon specific forms of preschool intellectual stimulation as they do imply a systematic formulation of the cognitive-developmental components of the play, constructive, aesthetic, and social activities which have traditionally been the heart of the preschool.

American Education Research Association Annual Meeting (New Orleans, Louisiana, April 4-8, 1994)

Abstract/Notes: An evaluation was conducted of a comprehensive plan to restructure a primary school in Candler County, Georgia, into a non-graded, multi-age, continuous progress learning center. The project entailed restructuring the classroom, implementing a shared decision-making structure, developing a learning curriculum, and using portfolio assessment to monitor student progress. The project was evaluated on three objectives: academic success, positive self-esteem and socialization, and the project's shared decision-making structure. These objectives were evaluated according to a case-study design, with the inclusion of quantitative and qualitative techniques. Academic success was examined through the following instruments: the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, portfolio writing, an informal reading inventory, and teacher ranking. Parent questionnaires, teacher questionnaires, and teacher interviews were used to evaluate positive self-esteem and socialization. Teacher interviews, teacher workshops,
