Abstract/Notes: The research of mathematics teachers and instructors is still focused on normal students. Students with special needs are often ruled out. In fact, they also need to learn mathematics. Mathematics is a very basic subject and must be mastered by everyone, including students with special needs. This research is intended to apply mathematics learning to autism students by using communication boards as a Montessori apparatus. Communication is chosen because autistic students have a visual learning style. Furthermore, the learning method is done with Montessori because it takes the concept of learning with the environment, in accordance with the main purpose of learning for autism students to be able to live independently and be empowered in the community. The study used the descriptive qualitative method. According to the research results several Montessori apparatuses have been chosen used including visual schedules, visuals to structure the environment, visual scripts, a visual rule reminder, the visual task analysis, and a choice board.

Abstract/Notes: The low level of reading comprehension in elementary school students can certainly affect their learning motivation in the learning process. To overcome this problem, this study aims: to investigate the effect of the Montessori-based Big Book on understanding Early Reading Skills and Learning Motivation. Quasi-experimental design was applied in this study. There were 26 students (14 males and 12 females) from SDN Pucang 4 as an experimental group and 23 students (13 males and 10 females) from SDN Pucang 2 were included as a control group. Data analysis in this study used an independent sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that students in the experimental group had higher scores better than the control group. This shows that the Montessori-based Big Book significantly promotes understanding of Early Reading Skills and Learning Motivation in the experimental group compared to control group students.

Abstract/Notes: While school gardens are familiar in many Western contexts and research has reported significant pedagogical and affective benefits of these resources, there is limited reporting of their use in non-Western contexts. A pilot school gardening project involving a quasi-experimental mixed method design was undertaken in the Sultanate of Oman with several Grade 2 and Grade 7 classes to determine if this resource might provide benefits in this particular context. This paper reports on the findings for the Grade 2 cohort. While these findings were somewhat mixed and need to be treated tentatively given that the study was a pilot, they did suggest that school gardens in Oman could provide affective and possibly health benefits for students. The potential health benefits could be particularly significant because the Omani population is beginning to exhibit a rapid increase in “lifestyle diseasesâ€, most notably diabetes and cardiovascular illnesses. These illnesses appear to be linked to poor dietary habits and a more sedentary lifestyle among the younger generation.

The Effectiveness of the 7E Learning Cycle Model Aided by Montessori Media on Students' Critical Thinking Ability

Available from: Rayyan Jurnal

Publication: AURELIA: Jurnal Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat Indonesia, vol. 2, no. 2

Pages: 1012-1020

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the Learning Cycle 7E learning model assisted by Montessori media on the critical thinking skills of elementary school students in class IV hearing senses. This research is motivated by the existence of a phenomenon where students have difficulty understanding material about the sense of hearing which is quite complicated because of the many terms used. Science subjects in elementary schools are generally taught by lecture and assignment methods, this will make students feel bored faster in class and unable to absorb the information conveyed correctly. Therefore, research was made to show how effective the Learning Cycle 7E model assisted by Montessori media was on students' critical thinking skills. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with quasi-experimental methods. The research design developed was a quasi-experimental design model with nonequivalent control group design. The sample used was fourth grade students at SDN Sukarasa. As for the data processing techniques, the authors use descriptive techniques to obtain conclusions from this study. As a result, there is a positive relationship from the Montessori media-assisted LC 7E learning model to students' critical thinking skills. This is also supported by the opinions of experts on how effective learning can be done, one of which is by using a fun learning model so that children's thinking abilities increase.

Abstract/Notes: The choices for public school education in the United States have evolved over recent years to include public Montessori programs. During this same time frame, special education inclusion practices have become prominent, making collaboration between general and special education teachers an essential piece of serving student needs. The problem addressed in this study was that researchers do not have a clear understanding of how Montessori teachers and special education teachers are collaborating to meet the needs of students in special education in Montessori public schools. The purpose of the study was to explore the ways teachers in Montessori public schools incorporate the practice of collaboration through the identified constructs despite the evident philosophical differences between Montessori education and traditional special education and the demand to support students with special needs. Data sources included in-depth interviews with 10 Montessori and special education teachers and were analyzed to identify patterns related to how teachers collaborate for students in inclusion in Montessori public schools. Findings indicated that time is the underlying barrier for developing deep collaborative relationships and there is a need to establish a plan for collaboration within Montessori public schools for students in inclusion. Recommendations include creation of an Inclusion Professional Learning Community including a map for intended collaboration.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to look at how effective daily sight word practice was the acquisition of sight words. The study took place in a public charter Montessori school located in the Midwest. The classroom had 25 students ranging from first through third grade. Researchers assessed the daily sight word practice of 8 first graders. The researchers also administered two surveys which were given to the students and families. Each student was assessed using flashcards on the first day of each week and they were then given a list of those five words each week. They were also assessed on the last day of the week using the same flashcards from the first assessment. After six weeks of new words assessed, the students were then measured on 14 of the sight words within sentences. Overall, there was a positive learning experience for all six weeks. The parent survey focused on their knowledge of sight words and how they work on reading and sight words at home. The study shows daily practice of sight words does in fact help with the acquisition. Many parents know what sight words are but would like to learn new strategies about how to teach sight words to their child. The effects of daily practice helps strengthen the students reading skills and help create fluency.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of handwork (defined as sewing, knitting, crocheting, weaving, etc.) on elementary aged children. Working with our hands provides opportunities to develop physical and mental skills and express creativity, and handwork allows us to be creative and productive. This study was conducted with a class of 22 students in first, second and third grade in a public Montessori school. Using qualitative and quantitative research methods, the study found that within a Montessori elementary school setting, handwork can encourage students to expand on life skills, produce something tangible and practice relaxation, and overall has a beneficial effect on students.

Abstract/Notes: The current study addresses whether the type of motivator students receive while reading and the school program they attend influences reading retention. Fifth-graders were randomly assigned to read text passages within a context of either intrinsic (learn for fun) or extrinsic (learn to receive a prize) motivators. Retention of the text passage was measured immediately and after a one-week delay. Changes in story recall scores varied as a function of both program type (traditional vs. Montessori) and experimental motivator. Improvement in performance after delay was only evident for Montessori students provided with an intrinsic motivator. The results illuminate how the type of pedagogy and academic motivators a student has been exposed to influence how students approach learning.
