The Effect of Montessori Education on the Divergent Thinking Skill of Kindergarten-Age Students
Available from: University of Manitoba - Institutional Repository
See More
Abstract/Notes: This study examined the effect of Montessori Preschool education on the divergent thinking skill of kindergarten-age students. The author hypothesized that these students would display below-average ability in this area as a result of exposure to Montessori education. Research was presented which criticized Montessori for its lack of open-ended materials and fantasy play which might suppress divergent thought. Further research was reviewed which indicated a possible link between educational environments and scores on tests of divergent thinking. Subjects were 31 kindergarten-age students from two Montessori pre-schools. Divergent thought was assessed using The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking-Figural Form "A". Results indicated above average performance on overall scores of the test. However, performance on sub-tests suggested that divergent thought was affected by the Montessori curriculum.

Report
Coordinating Montessori and traditional education through the use of units focused on a skill based competency and training staff to be goal directed
See More
Abstract/Notes: This report discusses the implementation of a unit-based instructional method at three child care centers. Two of the centers were Montessori schools and one was a traditional school. The centers were operated by a single corporate owner. A questionnaire completed by the 14 staff members of the 3 centers indicated that there was little year-long planning, scheduling, or use of learning units in the centers. A series of workshops held for staff addressed the issues of the creation of a year-long lesson plan, the use of goals and concepts in teaching, and teacher training. Objectives accomplished by these workshops included: (1) monthly unit studies were created to cover a school year; (2) a list of concepts to be taught each week was created; (3) daily lesson plans were developed; and (4) teachers were trained to use the lesson plans to become more goal oriented in their daily routines. An extensive discussion of existing early childhood education programs and models is presented. A reference list of 21 items is provided. Appendixes include copies of staff questionnaires; lists of unit themes and concepts; forms for recording student progress; and forms for recording weekly and monthly lesson plans.

Abstract/Notes: Objective: To compare ADL scores of elderly with early stage dementia who had attended Activities of Daily Living (ADL) skill training using Montessori-based activities with those who had not. Method: A quasi experimental study was conducted with Solomon Four Groups design experiment. The subjects consisted of 32 elderly living in Bang-Lamung senior home aged from 63-94 who met the inclusion criteria. They were diviecl into 2 qroups with 16 participants in each group then subgroup of 8 participants were selected to receive intervention and the controls were not. The screening instruments include mini mental status exam (MMSE-T2002) and Thai Geriatric Depression Scale (TGDS). Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores of each subject were measured against Chula ADL index. The post test score was measured at the end of the 4th week, then the intervention was decreased and the follow-ups were measured at the end of the 8th and the 12th week. The data obtained was analyzed for descriptive statistics and the average ADL scores were compared by means of t-test and ANOVA. Results: The results showed that the average ADL pre-test scores of both groups were indifferent. The experimental groups average ADL scores of the post-test increased by 0.62 and the first follow up increased by 0.25 which are statistically significant at the level of p<0.05. Conclusion: Activities of Daily Living training using Montessori-based activities is effective in increasing ADL scores. It is recommended to be used as the activities for elderly with early stage dementia.
