Abstract/Notes: Here, we contribute to the debate on the relationship between Montessori’s pedagogy and new technologies. In this longitudinal study we used a mixed methodological approach, relying on structured evidence, field observations and notes. We show how in children, following the use of technological material aimed at developing computational thinking, in the five years of primary school in a Montessori class in Grottaferrata (RM), creativity and a sense of community have increased. The sense of community has consistently remained at a good level. The pervasiveness due to the error at a low level. Our evidence indicate how technological materials must respect the typical characteristics of Montessori development material to be integrated in school job: freedom of choice, error control, aesthetic attractiveness, autonomy of use, manual interactivity, possibility of collaborating with peers, repetition of the exercise, quantity limits are essential characteristics.

Thus the study attempted to find out if the Montessori Method has effect on children’s artistic development. The aim of the study is to explore the effect of the Montessori Methods on the development of children’s creativity. Quasi experimental design was used for analyzing the instruments. A drawing test was administrated to the children using the Montessori Method of teaching; a semi-structured interview was also administered to the teachers.

The method of teaching was assessed on children’s developmental stages in creative artistic development between pre-schematic stage, schematic stage and gang stage. The findings revealed that the Montessori Method on Teaching had a positive effect on the Children’s artistic development and performance in the primary schools in Zaria.

Abstract/Notes: Researchers widely acclaim that the film (video film) has very far reaching effects on young persons, as it amongst other factors, even promotes violence and dictates youth fashions and fads .The Nigerian Education Policy is yet to fully integrate the arts - media arts, dramatic arts, and music into the school curriculum; except at the university level where these are specific courses of study. This paper advocates that this being the case, the time is ripe to repackage the video film as suitable educational material, for integration into the school curriculum, as appropriate teaching aids that enhance understanding of subject matter. Sadly, for now, this inestimable resource is relegated to the hidden curriculum. There is no doubt that the teaching of English Language or French, Geography and the sciences, would be quite enhanced with electronic teaching aids, a formidable and potent medium that school children are already in tune with. This being the case, It is pertinent to start by taking a cursory look at education and the current methodology of formal knowledge acquisition in schools. This will help in the delineation of what modes and processes have been employed, and what is necessary to be adopted.
