Available from: St. Catherine University

Action research, Montessori method of education

Abstract/Notes: This action research was conducted in an early childhood Montessori Primary classroom using intentional teaching practices with core curriculum materials to engage students in creative thinking. In the form of questions or suggestions, an open-ended inquiry was given to the ten participants, aged three to six years old, as they worked with Montessori materials in academic areas, including science, math, and language. The research utilized mixed methods of collection in the forms of quantitative and qualitative data and demonstrated successful intervention with a steady increase in work times of the students. A longitudinal study would contribute to this theory and provide further information regarding the increase of student understanding through creative thinking endeavors. This study provided evidence that intentional teaching practices can engage children in creative thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative learning while extending working times with materials, which contribute to a deeper level of comprehension of the direct curricular aims.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of the ADHD Rating Scale(DSM-IV) using teachers in Early Childhood Center. To do this, ADHD Scales using teacher was discussed with a specialist group consisting of 3 doctors in degree at Early Childhood Education and Child Development and 3 teachers of early childhood centers. And then the data was collected in 1 class(four-years) at early childhood center. So, the subjects of this study were 32 children(boy 18/girl 14) and their 2 teachers. Statistics used for data analysis were Frequency, t-test, inter-observer and test-retest reliability. The major findings of this study were as follows: First, the prevalence of children with ADHD based on teachers rating are 3(teacher1) and 4(teacher2). Second, according to the item analysis of ADHD, teachers are rating similar on children with ADHD Scale(DSM-IV). Third, inter-observer and test-retest reliability were significant. In conclusion, it is considered that the ADHD Rating Scale(DSM-IV) has validity using teachers in Early Childhood Center. / 본 연구에서는 ADHD진단 검사 중 오늘날 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 도구인 「정신장애진단 및 통계편람(DSM-IV)」을 유아교육기관에서 교사가 사용하였을 때, 타당도가 어떠한지 살펴보았다. 전문가와 교사집단과의 사전 연구를 통해 ADHD진단척도와 연구대상을 위한 기준이 제시되었고, 4세아 1개 반(유아 32명, 담임교사 2명)이 선정되었다. 교사들은 학기가 시작된 지 6개월과 9개월 이후 2회에 걸쳐 유아의 ADHD성향을 측정하였다. 그리고 평정자 간 신뢰도와 검사-재검사 신뢰도를 살펴보았다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한 교실에서 교사가 평가한 ADHD 성향유아는 3명(교사1)과 4명(교사2)으로 밝혀졌다. 둘째, ADHD에 대한「정신장애진단 및 통계편람(DSM-IV)」의 문항분석 결과, 교사들의 의견이 대부분 비슷하였다. 셋째, 교사들의 평정자 간신뢰도와 검사-재검사 신뢰도는 통계적으로 유의하였다.

Abstract/Notes: In today’s world of education, there is a growing interest and emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) concepts in the classroom. Montessori education is well known for its hands-on, student-direct approach to learning. STEM also encourages hands-on, active participation from students. The purpose of this action research study is to observe the effects of technology and engineering activities on the Montessori environment. More specifically, how do these supplemental materials affect student engagement with traditional Montessori materials? STEM, more specifically Technology and Engineering, materials were introduced into a Montessori Children’s House classroom over a period of five weeks. Data was gathered through parent and student surveys, observation journals and a scientific engagement checklist in which the teacher observed student engagement with classroom materials over a period of at least two minutes. The results show an increase in student engagement overall, but a decrease in engagement with Montessori-specific materials. Once the technology and engineering activities were introduced into the classroom, the students seemed to gravitate toward those materials over traditional Montessori materials. A small-scale study such as this would benefit from more time to determine if the attraction to these “new” materials in the classroom would diminish over time. However, this study could link STEM activities to higher student engagement in the classroom.
