Abstract/Notes: While a growing body of research reveals the beneficial effects of music on education performance the value of music in educating the young child is not being recognized. If research of students in the school system indicates that learning through the arts can benefit the ‘whole’ child, that math achievement scores are significantly higher for those students studying music, and if Montessori education produces a more academically accomplished child, then what is the potential for the child when Montessori includes an enriched music curriculum? The decision to support music cannot be made without knowing music’s effect on academic achievement and its contribution to a student’s education. This study was an experimental design using a two-group post-test comparison. A sample of 200 Montessori students aged 3-5 years-old were selected and randomly placed in one of two groups. The experimental treatment was an “in-house” music enriched Montessori program and children participated in 3 half-hour sessions weekly, for 6 months. The instrument used to measure mathematical achievement was the Test of Early Mathematics Ability-3 (Barody & Ginsburg) to determine if the independent variable, music instruction had any effect on students’ math test scores. The results showed that subjects who received music enriched Montessori instruction had significantly higher math scores and when compared by age group, 3 year-old students had higher scores than either the 4 year-old or 5 year-old children. This study shows that an arts-rich curriculum has a significant positive effect on young students academic achievement.This comprehensive research presents developmentally appropriate early education curriculum for children from 2 through 6 years old and addresses some of the most compelling questions about early experience, such as how important music is to early brain development. Contemporary theories and practices of music education including strategies for developing pitch, vocal, rhythmic, instrumental, listening, movement and creative responses in children are presented. It explores the interrelationship of music and academic development in children, and demonstrates how music can enhance and accelerate the learning process. This study combines the best of research and practical knowledge to give teachers the necessary tools to educate tomorrow's musicians. It is essential reading for all students and teachers of young children.

Abstract/Notes: In diesem Band wird an 24 Praxis-Beispielen aus der Montessori-Freiarbeit – allesamt erprobt und mit zahlreichen Fotos veranschaulicht – aufgezeigt, wie Leistung in der Freiarbeit gewertschätzt und bewertet werden kann. Vor dem Hintergrund Maria Montessoris Verständnisses vom Kind und seiner Leistung, sich selbst zu erschaffen und weiterzuentwickeln, wird der pädagogische Leistungsbegriff erläutert und mit den gesellschaftlichen Ansprüchen verknüpft. Die Forderung einer Kompetenzorientierung, nach der sich eine Leistungsbewertung ausrichten sollte, wird unter die Lupe genommen und mit der Freiarbeit im Sinne Maria Montessoris verbunden. [This volume uses 24 practical examples from Montessori free work - all tried and tested and illustrated with numerous photos - to show how performance in free work can be valued and evaluated. Against the background of Maria Montessori's understanding of the child and its ability to create and develop itself, the educational concept of achievement is explained and linked to social demands. The demand for a competence orientation, according to which a performance assessment should be based, is examined closely and linked to free work in the sense of Maria Montessori.]

Abstract/Notes: Az iskolai tanulás eredményességét nemcsak a kognitív képességek, hanem az egyén motivációs háttere is meghatározza. Az intrinzik, a belső motiváció a megismerő tevékenység egyik energiaforrása, s feltétele a tartós, perspektivikus tanulási magatartás kialakulásának. A szerző azokat a tényezőket tárja fel, melyek előnyösen befolyásolják a tanulók intrinzik motivációjának fenntartását, s bemutatja ennek gyakorlati megvalósulását a Montessori-szemléletű nevelési-oktatási rendszerben. [The effectiveness of school learning is determined not only by cognitive abilities but also by the motivational background of the individual. Intrinsic, intrinsic motivation is one of the energy sources of cognitive activity and a condition for the development of lasting, perspective learning behavior. The author explores the factors that have a beneficial effect on maintaining the intrinsic motivation of students and presents its practical implementation in the Montessori-based education system.]

Abstract/Notes: Bu araştırmada uluslararası Montessori öğretmen eğitimlerine katılmış bir öğretmenin anlatılarının derinlemesine incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden anlatı araştırma kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama sürecinde ölçüt örnekleme ile belirlenmiş bir Montessori öğretmeniyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler tematik analiz kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve ulaşılan bulgular üç ana tema “Montessori öğretmeni olma nedenleri” “Montessori öğretmeni olmak için alınan eğitimlerin özellikleri” “Montessori Öğretmen Eğitim Programlarının Katkılarına İlişkin Görüşler” altında açıklanarak kronolojik olarak sunulmuştur. Montessori öğretmeni olmak için alınan eğitimlerin özellikleri ana teması altında (a) NAMC Montessori öğretmen eğitimi programı özellikleri, (b) AMS eğitim ortamının özellikleri, (c) AMS öğretmen eğitimi programının özellikleri, (d) AMI eğitim ortamının özellikleri, (e) AMI öğretmen eğitimi programının özellikleri, (f) Eğitimcilerin özellikleri, (g) Anlatıcının aldığı programlara yönelik karşılaştırmaları alt temaları yer almıştır. Montessori öğretmen eğitim programlarının katkılarına ilişkin görüşler ana teması ise (a) mesleki gelişime katkılar ve (b) kişisel gelişime katkılar alt temalarını içermektedir. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen anlatılarda Montessori öğretmeni olabilmek için alınan öğretmen eğitimi programlarının genel olarak oldukça uzun süreli ve felsefeyle tutarlı uygulamaları vurgulayan yoğun içerikleri olduğu bunun yanı sıra anlatıcının (katılımcının) mesleki kimliğinde ve eğilimlerinde bir dönüşüm yarattığı görülmektedir. / This study aimed to examine the narratives of a teacher who participated in international Montessori teacher training in depth. Narrative research, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a Montessori teacher who was selected based on criterion sampling. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis, and the findings were presented in chronological order under the themes of "Reasons to be a Montessori teacher", "The characteristics of the training taken to become a Montessori teacher" and "Views on the Contribution of Montessori Teacher Education Programs". The sub-themes of (a) NAMC Montessori teacher education program features, (b) The characteristics of the AMS education environment, (c) The characteristics of the AMS teacher education program, (d) Features of the AMI educational environment, (e) Features of the AMI teacher education program, (f) The characteristics of the educators were presented under the main theme of the characteristics of the training taken to become a Montessori teacher. The main theme of views on the contributions of Montessori teacher training programs includes the sub-themes of (a) contributions to professional development and (b) contributions to personal development. As a result, it is seen that the teacher education programs taken to become a Montessori teacher are generally quite long-term, as well as create a transformation in the professional identity of the participant.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a difference exists between the academic progress of seventh and eighth grade students who attended Texas public Montessori schools and the academic progress of their peers who attended matched non- Montessori schools. Specifically, this study sought to determine whether students enrolled in Montessori programs had higher percentages of passing rates on state mandated criterion referenced tests than students enrolled in non-Montessori programs for early adolescents. Research questions were posed and corresponding research hypotheses were tested within the subject matter disciplines of reading and mathematics in the seventh grade and within the subject matter disciplines of reading mathematics, science, and social studies in the eighth grade. In all but one analysis, the Montessori students had higher passing percentages than non-Montessori students. Seventh grade Montessori students had higher passing percentages in math and higher passing percentages in reading. Eighth grade Montessori students had higher passing percentages on reading, science, math and social studies. The study provided evidence that Montessori programs for early adolescents produce favorable academic outcomes when compared with their matched non-Montessori counterparts in public schools.
