Abstract/Notes: Analyzes public school bureaucracy and ways to reform institutions into learning communities that value shared knowledge and learning experiences. Describes how a bureaucratic organizational structure impairs learning. Proposes the "learning organization" in which adults learn alongside students, planning is decentralized, families are part of the educational experience, multiple perspectives are valued, and learning occurs all the time.

Abstract/Notes: The Montessori method is well-known for its child-centered and hands-on learning approach for early literacy development. This study is the first to apply the Montessori method in robot-assisted language learning (RALL). We developed an alphabet learning system that consists of a Moveable alphabet, a tablet, and a social robot. We conducted a between-subjects experiment with 89 Kazakh children aged 6–11 that learned the Kazakh Latin alphabet either with a Montessori-human (MH) or a Montessori-robot (MR) teacher. We examined the effects of the learning method on children’s learning gains and emotional outcomes across these two conditions. Our results suggest that in the Montessori learning environment the MH teacher was significantly more effective in providing early literacy support than the MR teacher. The emotional states were mixed between grades, but the children in the MR condition felt happier than those in the MH condition in Grades 1 (ages 6–7) and 4 (ages 10–11). This exploratory study suggests testing the method’s effectiveness in long-term child-robot interactions, with varied learning tasks over time.
