Abstract/Notes: In two independent experiments, the performance of 4-year-old children drawn from Montessori classrooms was compared with that of children attending traditional preschools. It was speculated that the Montessori children might excel in social cognitive reasoning and in memory—both indirect consequences of the cognitive skills targeted by the curriculum. In Experiment 1, there were three social cognitive tasks—referential communication, speech differentiation, and identifying emotions. In Experiment 2, there were two memory problems—recognition of logically related objects, and free recall. There was no evidence of a difference in the level of performance of children from the two types of schools on social cognitive tasks, and both groups recoded messages more effectively to explicit requests from the listener than to implicit ones. For memory, the Montessori children excelled on the recognition problem, but there was no difference between groups on free recall. It was concluded that the Montessori curriculum does influence cognitive development beyond the narrow bounds of the cognitive skills ostensibly taught in the classroom, but the impact is greatest where there is a close relation between the specific concepts learned in class and the skill in question.

Abstract/Notes: Background: To evaluate the effect of Montessori method on cognitive and behavioral function in patients with senile dementia by meta-analysis. Methods: The randomized controlled trials of the effect of Montessori method on cognitive and behavioral functions of Alzheimer’s patients in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Excerpt Medica Database, The Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Weipu Information Chinese Periodical Service Platform database and Wanfang database were searched by computer, and the references of relevant literatures were traced. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, evaluation and inclusion in the literature, using RevMan 5.4.1 software for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 11 literatures were included and 936 patients were enrolled. Meta analysis shows that compared with routine nursing, Montessori method is helpful to improve the overall cognitive function (standardized mean difference = 1.53, 95% confidence interval (1.32, 1.73), P < 0.01), activities of daily living and reduce the incidence of adverse events (relative risk = 0.37, 95% confidence interval (0.21, 0.63), P < 0.01) in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Conclusion: Montessori method is helpful to improve the overall cognitive function, activities of daily living and reduce the incidence of adverse events in patients with senile dementia. Affected by the included study, it still needs to be confirmed by multi center and large sample randomized controlled study.

Abstract/Notes: Este artículo se deriva de la investigación realizada en Trabajo de Grado para optar al título de Licenciadas en Educación Preescolar en la Fundación Universitaria Luis Amigó y ha sido denominada “La Estimulación de los Sentidos en la Actividad Pedagógica con Niños y Niñas de 3 a 5 años de edad para el beneficio del Desarrollo Cognitivo en el Colegio Montessori de Medellín en el año 2016”. En éste se abordarán las categorías: “actividades docentes para la estimulación sensorial”, “tiempo y frecuencia de la estimulación sensorial respecto a los dispositivos básicos del aprendizaje” y por último “estrategias para la estimulación sensorial”.  Esta investigación fue realizada bajo el paradigma cualitativo y se inscribe en el tipo de estudio descriptivo, cuenta con una muestra de 28 niños y niñas de los grados maternal, pre-jardín y jardín del colegio Montessori de Medellín; los datos fueron recolectados por medio de entrevistas semi-estructuradas, observaciones participantes y no participantes. Uno de los hallazgos más importantes de la presente investigación fue la identificación de factores externos que intervienen directamente en el desempeño de los dispositivos básicos del aprendizaje en los niños y las niñas en las actividades implementadas para la estimulación sensorial.

Abstract/Notes: Alzheimer day-care clients received three months of Mon-tessori type activities and three months of routine activities, in a within-subjects design. The effects of the two conditions were compared using changes in clients' scores on 22 cognitive measures. From this, a measure of performance after the Montessori activities, compared to after routine activities (Montessori Benefit Score), was calculated for each subject and a distribution of subject scores was generated. Using a resampling statistic, the mean Montessori Benefit Score was compared to one obtained under a null hypothesis that no difference existed in performance between routine and Montessori conditions. The observed mean Montessori Benefit Score (m = 7.4) fell outside the 95% confidence interval for the means based on the null hypothesis, indicating that Montessori materials benefit the Alzheimer's clients in this study.

Abstract/Notes: Bu araştırmada çalışma grubunu oluşturan Montessori programı ve MEB programı ile okul öncesi eğitim alan deneme ve kontrol grubu çocukların Bilişsel gelişim ve Sosyal yetkinliklerini karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma çalışma grubunda 2016-2017 eğitim öğretim yılında Selçuk Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi İhsan Doğramacı Anaokulunda Montessori programı ile okul öncesi eğitimi alan 20 ,Esentepe Koleji Anasınıfında MEB programı ile okul öncesi eğitimi alan 20 kontrol olmak üzere toplamda 40 çocuktan oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplamak amacıyla Marmara Gelişim Ölçeğinin alt ölçeği olan Bilişsel Gelişim Ölçeği ve Sosyal Yetkinlik ve Davranış Değerlendirme-30 (SYDD-30) Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Testler deney ve kontrol gruplarına ön ve son test olmak üzere uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde Mann Whitney U testi ve Wilcoxon İşaretli sıralar testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular incelendiğinde; bilişsel gelişim ölçeği son test puanlarının kontrol grubu lehinde bir farklılaşma gösterdiği, Sosyal Yetkinlik ve Davranış Değerlendirme-30 (SYDD-30)ölçeğinin sosyal yetkinlik, Saldırganlık ve Kaygı alt ölçeklerinin son test puanlarında ise anlamlı farklılık bulunamamıştır. / In this study, Montessori curriculum and MEB curriculum(Ministry of Education Preschool Education Curriculum ) which constitute the study group and control group who took pre-school education aimed to examine the children's cognitive development and social competence comparatively. The research study group consists of 40 children, 20 of whom are in pre-school education at the Montessori curriculum in Selcuk University School of Health Sciences Faculty Ihsan Dogramaci Application Kindergarden School, 20 of which are MEB curriculum (Ministry of Education Preschool Education curriculum) at Esentepe College Kindergarden and 20 of which are in pre-school education. The Cognitive Developmental Scale and the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation-30 (SYDD-30) Scale were used as the subscale of the Marmara Developmental Scale in order to collect data in the study. The tests were performed to the experimental and control groups as pre- and post-test. Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Marked rank test were used for the analysis of the obtained data. When the findings of the research are examined; There was no significant difference in the scores of Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation-30 (SYDD-30) social competence, Aggression and Anxiety subscales, whereas cognitive development scale post test scores showed differentiation in favor of the control group.
