Abstract/Notes: Montessori English Teaching Model (METM) is a unique way of instruction that uses specifically designed learning settings and approaches to nurture students' intrinsic desire to learn. English achievements for Saudi students have been for long very low. The current study aimed to investigate the real challenges of implementing Montessori English Teaching Model in Saudi Arabian elementary schools. Qualitative method, namely focus group discussion, was used. Four purposive focus groups with different educational positions and experiences were formulated, namely school supervisors (SS), school principals (SP), English teachers (ET), and English curriculum specialists (ES). The major findings of the study were that1) major challenges existed for implementing the METM in Saudi elementary schools, 2) the challenges concentrated on four categories: educational context, work ethics and environment, nature of teachers and students, and social aspects, and 3) agreements on some of the sub-themes fluctuated. Recommendations for further investigations are made for interested and educational personnel.

Available from: ProQuest - Dissertations and Theses

Abstract/Notes: High stakes testing, in the form of annual standardized state assessments, affects the teaching methodologies of public school teachers (Passman, 2001). This study sought to examine whether teachers prepare students for high stakes assessments by making changes in their teaching methodologies (Jerald, 2006). Thirty teachers received questionnaires containing agreement statements and short open-ended questions about the effects of high stakes testing on how and what they teach. Eight participants were also interviewed to gain greater insight into their opinions on the effects of high stakes tests. Triangulation was used to authenticate the responses and draw conclusions (Hendricks, 2009). The results of the study indicated that some teachers have adapted their teaching methodologies to mirror test structures even if the subject they teach was not included on standardized state tests.

Abstract/Notes: In traditional education, Mathematics has always been a great challenge to learners, maybe because it is taught as abstract from early years. On the other hand, the Montessori Method uses the hands-on approach in teaching numeracy from early years. This study therefore compared the traditional approach and the Montessori Method in the teaching of numeracy in selected public schools in Delta North Senatorial District. Two schools and four classes were purposively selected in Ika South, of Delta North Senatorial District. Twenty five pupils were selected for each approach in the two schools. At the end of the study, the children in the Montessori class performed better on the numeracy test than those taught with the traditional approach. It was concluded that hands-on approach enhances understanding of numeracy from early years. It was therefore recommended that the teachers in the schools in Delta State should be retrained on the use of hands on activities in the teaching of numeracy in early years.
