Abstract/Notes: Common methods of measuring discipline disproportionality can produce contradictory results and obscure base-rate information. In this paper, we show how using multilevel modeling to analyze discipline disparities resolves ambiguities inherent in traditional measures of disparities: relative rate ratios and risk differences. One previous study suggests there is less racial discipline disproportionality in Montessori schools, so we used our new approach, along with relative rate ratios and risk differences, to compare discipline disproportionality in a sample of Title 1 Montessori and non-Montessori schools identified using propensity score matching. Using the multilevel model clarified results from other measures: Discipline disproportionality was similar across school settings, even though overall rates were significantly lower in the Montessori schools.

Abstract/Notes: The aim of this study is to compare the math skills of children with and without Montessori education. A mixed design method was used in the research. Quantitative data were used to measure children's mathematical skills. Parents' views on early mathematics education were obtained by qualitative data collection method. The study group included 39 children who attended two different kindergartens with and without Montessori education for two years and their parents. Personal information form and the Early Mathematics Test (EMAT) were used to collect data. As a result that the educational institution they attend is effective in children's mathematics skills, it was found that, the mathematics skill scores of the children who received Montessori education were higher than those who did not receive Montessori education. It was determined that the age of the children's parents, education level of the parents and working status of mothers did not cause significant changes on the children's math scores. Parents of children attending both schools stated that they see mathematics as a part of daily life and that early mathematics achievements will affect both their whole life and their future academic achievements. It was observed that the parents mostly focused on counting skills. While some of the parents expressed skills such as sequencing, matching, and patterns, none of them responded to geometry. It has been concluded that the families adopting the Montessori education method see this education method as a tool for learning mathematics and guide their learning at home by interacting more with their teachers. / Bu araştırma, Montessori eğitimi alan ve almayan çocukların matematik becerilerini karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada nicel ve nitel veri toplama yöntemleri birlikte yer almıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunda sontest kontrol gruplu model, nitel boyutunda ise ilişkisel tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubuna MEB OÖEP'na göre eğitim veren ve MEB OÖEP'na ek olarak Montessori yöntemiyle eğitim veren farklı anaokullarından 39 çocuk ve bu çocukların ebeveynleri dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak, Aile Görüşme Formu ve Erken Matematik Testi (EMAT) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; çocukların matematik becerilerinde, devam ettikleri eğitim kurumunun etkili olduğu, Montessori eğitimi alan çocukların matematik beceri puanlarının, Montessori eğitimi almayan çocuklardan daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çocukların yaş grubu, cinsiyet ve kardeş sayısının matematik becerilerini etkilemediği görülmüştür. Anne-baba yaşı, anne-baba öğrenim durumu ve annenin çalışıp çalışmama durumunun çocukların EMAT puanları üzerinde anlamlı değişikliklere yol açmadığı saptanmıştır. Her iki okula devam eden çocukların ebeveynleri, matematiği günlük hayatın bir parçası olarak gördüklerini ve erken dönem matematik kazanımlarının hem hayatın tamamını hem de akademik başarıları etkileyeceğine yönelik görüş bildirmişlerdir. Ebeveynlerin matematik konusunda en çok sayı sayma becerisi üzerinde durdukları görülmüştür. Bazı ebeveynler sıralama, eşleştirme, örüntü gibi becerileri ifade ederken geometriye yönelik herhangi bir yanıt gelmemiştir. Montessori eğitim yöntemini benimseyen ailelerin, bu eğitim yöntemini matematik öğrenimi için bir araç olarak gördükleri ve öğretmenleriyle daha çok etkileşimde bulunarak evdeki öğrenmelerine rehberlik ettikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract/Notes: The beginnings of the dissertation by Esther Grindel, holder of the Montessori diploma and former assistant at the Montessori Centre, also date back to this time. The survey analyses in an empirical way how and under which conditions highly gifted primary school children can learn according to their individual competencies and needs in the periods of Free Work, which is a characteristic way of learning in the Montessori Method. On the basis of four descriptive case studies of highly gifted students of a Montessori primary school typical structures of their ways of learning during the Montessori Free Work are investigated in a comparative analysis. The results, which are discussed in the context of current findings of the research on high abilities, are of great interest to both the Montessori schools and for the fostering at regular schools. A publication of the work as part of the series “Impulses of New Education” is in preparation.
