Abstract/Notes: This qualitative phenomenological study focuses on the development of evidence-based writing skills in the upper elementary Montessori (9–12-year-old) classroom. This study traced the lived experience in the classroom as students interacted with an original writing material and the teacher responded dynamically based on student needs by providing coaching, additional lessons based on student needs, and opportunities to revise work independently, with a partner, or with the teacher. The study measured the students’ metacognitive awareness of their confidence using the R.A.C.E. (Restate, Answer, Cite, Explain) strategy as a tool to successfully complete an evidence-based writing response. It also explored student retention of this writing skill four weeks after their work with an original material. Twenty-one students in a suburban upper elementary Montessori classroom housed at a 4K-6 elementary school in the Midwest participated in this study during their Montessori worktime over eight weeks from the beginning of February 2022 through mid-March 2022. Instruments included whole class discussion questions, pre-survey, ongoing teacher observations, a mid-study interview, post-survey, and a four-week post study writing sample. Results of the study supported the research design. Students showed awareness of their metacognitive process and reported that they felt more confident using the R.A.C.E. writing strategy. 10 out of 12 students (83%) showed positive trend lines in their data as they progressed through eight levels of material, even as the support built into the material decreased with each level.

The Meaning of Freedom in the Education of the Child: Maria Montessori
See More
Abstract/Notes: In this work an attempt has been made to study Montessori's life and educational activities. Her early educational environment and its effects are analysed and an attempt made to show how these influences produced in Montessori the germs of her educational theory regarding the freedom of the child. An attempt is made to show how the theory of the freedom of the child is congruent with the psychological theories which were popular at that time. The theoretical and practical application of the freedom of the child in its education is analysed in relation to the adult environment, the family and the school. An attempt is made to show how the Montessori material can lead the child to freedom and self discipline. It is shown that early child training in movement, which she entitled 'work', is a constant in her system. Montessori's theory that the child's intellect can be enhanced by providing educational materials which can lead to the child's ordering his mind at an early age has relevance to our age and the significance for contemporary practice in schooling is noted
