The Space Between the Notes: The Effects of Background Music on Student Focus
Available from: St. Catherine University

Abstract/Notes: Student behaviors were tallied in three similar Montessori early childhood classes while children practiced social, motor and academic skills with and without background music. Teacher impressions of work period productivity were tallied along with information from teacher notes and student self-assessments. Music came from Pandora stations such as “Relaxation Radio” or “Yoga Radio.” Music was selected for slow tempo (approximately 60 beats per minute or the rate of the adult heart) and relaxing instrumental quality, played at a soft volume and during times when students were not expected to pay attention to other auditory input such as stories, songs, lessons or announcements. Results showed that student smiles and productivity increased with background music, as did teacher and student assessments of productivity. Introducing appropriate background music can be a simple way to increase student focus. Further research will confirm if results are similar in classes of younger and older students and in traditional classrooms.

Abstract/Notes: This study investigated the effect of using activities based on the Montessori approach in science academic achievement of the fourth grade students. A quasiexperimental design was used wherein the students were equally divided into two groups: the experimental and the control group. Both groups consisted of 31 students. To achieve the aim of the study, Montessori Hall has been set up with six dimensions, and each corner has several shelves comprised different materials used for conducting the science activities. In addition, a teacher guide was prepared to be used by the teacher to implement the Montessori approach for the experimental group. Finally, an achievement test that consisted of seven multiple choice questions (MCQs) and five short answer questions was constructed and administered to both study groups. The results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (P ≤ 0.05) between the mean values of the experimental and the control groups in the academic achievement in favor of the experimental group. In light of the study results, the study recommends holding training workshops for teachers on how to use the Montessori approach in teaching science classes.

Abstract/Notes: The presented study deals with the issue of comparing achievement in didactic tests in mathematics between boys and girls in the context of preferred teaching management strategies. The research sample consisted of a total of 1133 respondents (Montessori - 73; Hejný - 332, ordinary primary school - 510; Dalton - 218). It turns out that statistically significant differences between boys and girls are only in an ordinary primary school and at a one percent level of significance (p < .01; d = .297). Examining the differences across these areas, especially for boys and girls, shows that both boys (p = .030) and girls (p = .053) may differ in achievement depending on the type of school they attend. / This work was presented at the PBE 2021 Conference.
