Abstract/Notes: This study describes learning strategies and the stages of their implementation in Islamic Montessori schools during the pandemic. Conditions during the pandemic require teachers to be adept at using IT to innovate in their learning. This research was a case study. Subjects are teachers whose taught used the Montessori approach for at least 2 years. Data were collected using interviews, documentation, and observation. The data was analyzed using the Spradley technique. Triangulation techniques and thick descriptions are used for the validity of the data. The main findings from Montessori learning at Budi Mulia Dua Islamic schools during the pandemic were carried out using three strategies, namely, Save Distancing Private Class (SDPC), Online Class (OC), and delivery of lesson kits. The use of the results of this research is especially for teachers in Montessori to be able to conduct activities during a pandemic using the original Montessori learning stages through the three strategies. SDPC is most likely to apply the complete Montessori learning stages from greeting to closing. Modification of the Montessori stages was carried out when the OC strategy was implemented. Meanwhile, the Montessori stages cannot be applied to the lesson kit delivery strategy because children study at home under parental guidance. The novelty in this research is that the COVID-19 pandemic has made the implementation of learning require various innovations so that it can be carried out in a quality manner and still pay attention to the needs of children. The strategy is adjusted to government policies that follow developments in cases that occur in the country in general. This variation in strategy also determines the continuity of education services in schools, including this Budi Mulia Dua (BMD). Keywords: learning strategies, Montessori, pandemic.

Abstract/Notes: This meta-analysis examines the effects of Montessori Education (ME) on five dimensions of development and learning in preschool and school-age children. It includes data from 33 experimental or quasi-experimental studies comparing ME with other pedagogical approaches (268 effect sizes; n = 21,67). These studies were conducted in North-America, Asia and Europe, and published between 1991 and 2021. Effect size estimated using Hedges’ unbiased g, and a 3-level multilevel meta-analytic approach applied due to the dependency among the effect sizes obtained from the same study. Results showed that ME’s effects on development and learning are positive and vary from moderate to high, depending on the dimension considered: cognitive abilities (g = 0.17), social skills (g = 0.22), creativity (g = 0.25), motor skills (g = 0.27), and academic achievement (g = 1.10). Analyses of different moderators did not reveal differences by school level, type of publication and continent.

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: In three studies, we examined children's geography learning from a physical puzzle and an app designed to mimic the puzzle. In Study 1, 5- and 6-year-olds were taught Australia's states by an experimenter using a puzzle or were taught by an app. Children learned significantly more states from instruction with the puzzle than when they used the app independently. When children were allowed to bring home the puzzle or app for 1 week in Study 2, total learning between conditions was comparable. Length and frequency of use were related to learning only for puzzle users. In Study 3, children were taught the geography lesson by an experimenter using the app. Children's learning from this social app condition was equal to the social puzzle condition but higher than the solo app condition of the earlier studies, suggesting that learning from digital devices is most successful when supplemented with in-person social interaction.
