Abstract/Notes: Students of color comprise a majority in public Montessori school enrollments around the United States, and practitioners are often asked for evidence of the Montessori Method’s benefits for these students. This article examines the relevant literature related to the experiences of students of color in public Montessori schools. Research finds Montessori education offers both opportunities and limitations for students of color in attending diverse schools, developing executive functions, achieving academically, accessing early childhood education and culturally responsive education, minimizing racially disproportionate discipline, and limiting overidentification for special education. Public Montessori education’s efficacy with students of color may be limited by several factors: the lack of diversity of the teaching staff and culturally responsive teacher education, schools that struggle to maintain racially diverse enrollments, and the challenge of communicating Montessori’s benefits to families with alternative views of education. The review concludes with directions for future research.

Abstract/Notes: Base-10 and place value understanding are important foundational math concepts that are associated with higher use of decomposition strategies and higher accuracy on addition problems (Laski, Ermakova, & Vasilyeva, 2014; Fuson, 1990; Fuson & Briars, 1990; National Research Council, 2001). The current study examined base-10 knowledge, place value, and arithmetic accuracy and strategy use for children in early elementary school from Montessori and non-Montessori schools. Children (N = 150) were initially tested in either kindergarten or first grade. We followed up with a subgroup of the sample (N = 53) two years later when the children were in 2nd and 3rd grade. Although Montessori curriculum puts a large emphasis on the base-10 structure of number, we found that children from Montessori schools only showed an advantage on correct use of base-10 canonical representation in kindergarten but not in first grade. Moreover, there were no program differences in place value understanding in 2nd and 3rd grade. Although Montessori children used different strategies to obtain answers to addition problems in 2nd and 3rd grade as compared with non-Montessori children, there were no program differences in addition accuracy at any grade level. Educational implications are discussed.

Abstract/Notes: It is essential to interpret information, determine its veracity, and assess its significance in today's society. Children need not acquire more information to be successful in the modern world; instead, they must develop higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This study aims to establish whether or not children with a Montessori background have higher levels of HOTS than students with a non-Montessori background. The study analyzes data from a competency-based test in English, mathematics and science conducted for 78 fourth-grade students. It was discovered that the Montessori-educated children performed better in English and Science. Yet the difference in mathematics, where Montessori students scored higher, did not achieve much statistical significance.

Abstract/Notes: The Montessori method is a method in the realm of child development education and is formulated based on Montessori theory. This method emphasizes the activities that are raised by the child by emphasizing the process of adapting the child's learning environment according to the stage of development. Mastery of reading skills in schools is one of the language competencies that must be taught. This study aims to describe how the Montessori method improves beginning reading skills in SD Negeri 1 Jatiwaringin students. This research method uses descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of oral, written test results, interviews and direct observation. The Montessori method seeks to help students develop cognitive, psychomotor, and affective abilities in students, by enabling children to learn according to their level of development.

Abstract/Notes: Schools following the Montessori philosophy use individual and small-group teaching methods and hands-on, concrete materials. This study investigated the understanding of place value concepts and abilities of Montessori students by comparing interview task responses of 93 students in grades 1-3 in a Montessori school (n = 47) and in a mostly traditional comparison school (n = 46). Data analysis revealed statistically significant differences favoring the Montessori students on conceptual tasks when grade 1 and all grades were compared. No statistically significant differences were found on procedural tasks between schools at any grade level or overall.

Abstract/Notes: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan metode montessori terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan siswa kelas I SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen (Pre-experimental design). Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian Onegroup Pretest-Posttest Design. Prosedur penelitian meliputi tahap persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan penyelesaian. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa tes dan observasi. Teknik analisis data berupa analisis statistik deskriptif dan inferensial uji-t (t-test). Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas I SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep sebanyak 28 orang yang terdiri dari 12 laki-laki dan 16 perempuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan metode Montessori berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan siswa kelas I SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep. Terbukti dengan hasil analisis statistik deskriptif yang menunjukkan hasil belajar siswa dengan menggunakan metode Montessori mengalami perubahan yang lebih baik daripada sebelum diterapkannya metode Montessori. Hasil analisis statistik inferensial menggunakan rumus uji t (t-test), diketahui bahwa nilai t Hitung yang diperoleh adalah 26,77 dengan frekuensi db = 28 - 1 = 27, pada taraf signifikansi 0,05 (5%) diperoleh t 0,05 = 2,05183. Jadi, t Hitung > t Tabel atau Hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak dan Hipotesis Alternatif (H1) diterima. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa ada pengaruh dalam penggunaan metode Montessori terhadap kemampuan membaca permulaan siswa kelas 1 SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli Kabupaten Pangkep.

This is proven by the results of descriptive statistical analysis which shows that student learning outcomes using the Montessori method have changed for the better than before the implementation of the Montessori method. The results of inferential statistical analysis using the t test formula (t-test), it is known that the calculated t value obtained is 26.77 with a frequency of db = 28 - 1 = 27, at a significance level of 0.05 (5%) obtained t 0.05 = 2.05183. So, t Count > t Table or Null Hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (H1) is accepted. This proves that there is an influence in using the Montessori method on the beginning reading abilities of grade 1 students at SD Negeri 51 Toli-Toli, Pangkep Regency.]

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.

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.
