Abstract/Notes: The current study aims to explore the effectiveness of Montessori Method in the Algerian EFL primary classrooms. This research was conducted through mixed method (qualitative and quantitative methods), and the data was collected through Observation and questionnaire. For the observation, the participants were third year EFL primary teacher and her learners, who are 30 students divided into 17 girls and 13 boys, in Saad Saoud El Messoud primary school in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria. The participants of the questionnaire were 30 EFL primary teachers, it is an online questionnaire conducted through Google form platform. The aim of the research is to find out whether the EFL primary teachers are implementing the principles of the MM or not, and to figure out if the manners, actions, and behaviours used by the teacher are appropriate for the learning process or not. However, after the answers of the questionnaire and the 9 hours of observation during 3 months, the authors find out that the MM is not implemented by the EFL primary teachers, because there is no freedom, no choices, and no appropriate materials and environment for the young learners. Thus, the findings encourage the need for the EFL teachers to identify and imitate the aspects of the Montessori Method

Abstract/Notes: Defines Cosmic Education using Mario Montessori's concrete illustration of the interdisciplinary and synthetic nature of the program. Suggests that the "The Great River," a sixth "Great Lesson," can be a framework for the history of human cooperation, and that this story lays the groundwork for teaching an understanding of social cooperation and solidarity in Montessori schools.

Abstract/Notes: The paper reports on efforts of the Thakur Hari Prasad Institute (THPI), an Indian voluntary agency, to improve services to persons with mental retardation in the developing nation of India. THPI is involved in both institutional and non-institutional activities, development of national policy, and action research. One project has provided early detection and intervention to about 500 infants and young children with handicaps through use of neuro-muscular stimulation and Montessori methods. A second project is providing early identification and intervention services to over 800 children with handicaps in 10 rural villages. This project stresses locally relevant and affordable methods. The special education program of the institute utilizes individualized education plans, instructional materials made of common household objects, and integrated services. A community based rehabilitation center is planned which will have non-professionals teaching rural oriented skills to mentally retarded persons. Vocational training programs for this population in such areas as carpentry and tailoring have also been initiated. THPI is seeking industry involvement and working for new legislation in such areas as civil rights and guardianship. A parents' movement is being encouraged as is research relevant to developing nations. Increased public awareness and personnel development are also encouraged.
