Doctoral Dissertation
The Montessori Method in America: Montessori Schools in New York and Rhode Island from 1910-1940
Available from: Loyola University Chicago
See More
Abstract/Notes: During the very early twentieth century, Dr. Maria Montessori produced a pedagogical approach that permitted the developmental delayed, socioeconomically disadvantaged, and the youngest of children to advance their cognition and adaptive skills to conventional standards. Her renowned "Montessori Method" was unleashed in 1906 in her home country of Italy and found its way to the shore of the United States soon after. This research will compare the implementation of the Montessori Method in two states, Rhode Island and New York. Both states invested time and money into the instructional ideals of Dr. Montessori in response to the advice of educators and, as is frequently overlooked in the scholarly literature, at the request of parents and community organizations. This study will focus on policy implementation: the how and the who, and on the overall growth and decline of Montessori programs, concentrating on the role parents played.

Abstract/Notes: "Madras, December 25. Dr. Maria Montessori who is conducting a training course in education at Adyar, Madras, has been invited to make a tour this summer of South American countries, including Mexico, Columbia, Rico, and Chile. The tour would end in Chile and then she would hold a training course under the auspices of the Government of Chile and the University of Santiago. It is more than possible, however, that Dr. Montessori will make her permanent residence at Adyar."

Abstract/Notes: Monthly testing based on a counterbalanced matrix sampling plan in one psychomotor, three affective, and five cognitive areas provides a continuous picture of the development of native American children enrolled in three distinct curricula. Of the nine scales, one showed negative, two showed insignificant, and six showed significant positive changes. When compared with national norms, the results suggest that all three curricula have strong remedial effects across a broad range of important areas of preschool learning. (Author)
