Effects of the Multiage Classroom on Children
Available from: ERIC

Abstract/Notes: This study examined the impact of the multiage classroom on second, third, and fourth graders in an Elkhart, Indiana elementary school. One classroom from each grade participated in the multiage classroom. The classroom of 70 students was combined for at least 1 afternoon per week during the 1995-96 school year. During February, the classroom was combined for four afternoons per week. Results indicated that students in the multiage group had better attendance than the general school population. To determine the effects of the multiage classroom on social skills, the teachers maintained a journal on six students who had not shown appropriate social behaviors in the regular classroom. A point system was implemented in which these students were rewarded with points for three desirable social skills. Four of the six target students demonstrated appropriate social skills during the time observed. Parents' responses to surveys suggested that the parents accepted the program and had a positive attitude toward it. At the beginning and end of the study period, children were surveyed orally on their attitudes to the multiage classroom. Results were mixed with regard to whether they liked to be in a multiage class. Sociometric techniques revealed that, across the time of the study, second and third graders' willingness to work with children of other ages increased, and the fourth graders' willingness declined. Appendixes contain the parent and student surveys. (KDFB)

Abstract/Notes: Three central components of the Montessori method are described and shown to be reflected in the National Association for the Education of Young Children's (NAEYC) guidelines for developmentally appropriate curricula. NAEYC guideline 1C states, "Teachers prepare the environment for children to learn through active exploration and interaction with adults, other children, and materials"; this is a statement of a basic Montessori principle. A second Montessori principle concerning "sensitive periods" is reflected in the entire body of the NAEYC guidelines. A third principle common to both Montessori practice and the NAEYC guidelines is the idea of the teacher as an observer. It is concluded that, if early childhood educators intend to follow the NAEYC guidelines, they will be behaving very much like Montessori teachers. (RH)

Abstract/Notes: Social and emotional behaviors of 56 Ss with and without Montessori preschool experiences as 3-, 4-, and 5-yr-olds were assessed upon entrance into 1st grade. Social and emotional behaviors were rated with the Classroom Behavior Inventory (CBI) by independent researchers and teachers. Self-concept of the selected sample of children was assessed using the Inferred Self-Concept Scale. The observed social and emotional behaviors were correlated with the children's scores on the Metropolitan Readiness Test (MRT) to examine possible relationships between social and emotional behaviors and achievement level. No differences in social and emotional behaviors of Ss entering 1st grade with and without the Montessori preschool experiences were observed. Nor were there any differences in the self-concept of Ss with and without the preschool experience. Positive task-oriented behaviors as observed with the CBI were found to be positively related to achievement level as measured by the MRT.
