Abstract/Notes: This meta-analysis examines the effects of Montessori Education (ME) on five dimensions of development and learning in preschool and school-age children. It includes data from 33 experimental or quasi-experimental studies comparing ME with other pedagogical approaches (268 effect sizes; n = 21,67). These studies were conducted in North-America, Asia and Europe, and published between 1991 and 2021. Effect size estimated using Hedges’ unbiased g, and a 3-level multilevel meta-analytic approach applied due to the dependency among the effect sizes obtained from the same study. Results showed that ME’s effects on development and learning are positive and vary from moderate to high, depending on the dimension considered: cognitive abilities (g = 0.17), social skills (g = 0.22), creativity (g = 0.25), motor skills (g = 0.27), and academic achievement (g = 1.10). Analyses of different moderators did not reveal differences by school level, type of publication and continent.

Abstract/Notes: This action research project was instigated to determine the effects of professional development (PD) for practicing Montessori teachers using the Montessori Language materials. The specific targeted materials included: vocabulary cards, sound analysis, sandpaper letters, moveable alphabet, pencil use, and reading. The research took place during a four week period in a large west coast Montessori school that serves children between 18 months and 12 years old. The teachers who participated in the study all worked with children between the ages of 3 – 6 years old. The data was collected using a provider journal (notes taken by the researcher during the PD sessions), questionnaires and weekly teacher logs. The researcher used available PD literature to plan and execute the study, which highlighted the importance of teachers participating in PD that was designed around participant identified content. The literature also provided guidance as to the content methods to incorporate into the PD sessions. At the conclusion of the study, findings revealed that the teachers benefited from support in all the language categories listed. They also became aware of the content delivery methods that best met their individual needs. Future research is needed to determine the content and delivery needs of teachers in different stages of their careers.

Abstract/Notes: This study develops a Montessori Performance Assessment Scale (MPAS), a scale for assessing the performance of 3-5 year old kindergarteners in Montessori programs. Subjects were 50 3-5 year old children attending a Montessori kindergarten in Seoul and 167 kindergarten teachers in Montessori programs in Seoul. Statistical methods employed were frequency, Cronbach's Alpha, test/re-test reliability, construct validity and concurrent validity. Results of this study are: 1) There are few reliable scales to assess the performance of the educational objectives of Montessori programs: 2) Cronbach's Alpha of the MPAS's of 8 areas (practical life, sense, language, mathematics, social studies, science, music and art education) ranged from .90 to .92. The correlation of the test/re-test was .92. The correlation among the MPAS's 8 areas and between the 8 areas and the total scores of the areas ranged from .67 to .89. It was also shown that MPAS highly correlated with the Standardized Korean Creativity Traits Checklist (K-CTC) (r=.51) and the Korean Child Social Maturity Scales (r=.60). These results indicate that MPAS developed by the authors is a valid scale with high reliability. / 본 연구는 몬테소리 유아교육과정을 실시하는 기관에서 일상생활 연습, 감각, 언어, 수학, 사회, 과학, 음악, 미술교육의 8개 영역에 대한 유아의 수행능력을 구체적이고 객관적으로 평가할 수 있는 도구를 개발하고자 하는 목적으로 이루어졌다. 167명의 몬테소리 유아교육기관 교사를 대상으로 평가방법에 대한 현황을 파악하고 3차례에 걸쳐 만 3～5세 남녀 유아에게 검사를 실시한 후 전문가 협의를 거쳐 몬테소리 수행평가 도구의 항목과 점수체계를 구성하였다. 몬테소리 수행평가 도구 개발 과정에서는 서울지역에 있는 대학 부속유치원에 다니는 유아 50명을 대상으로 적용하여 그 가능성을 검증하였다. 개발된 평가도구의 신뢰도를 알아보기 위해서는 Cronbach’s α값과 재검사 계수(test/re-test correlation)를 산출하였다. Cronbach’s α값은 .90에서 .92의 범위로 매우 높은 문항내적 합치도를 보여주었으며 재검사 계수 또한 .92로 높은 신뢰도를 보여주었다. 본 연구자들이 개발한 수행평가의 8개 구인과 총점간 상관계수는 .67～.89로 나타났다. 개발된 몬테소리 수행평가 도구는 유아용 창의적 특성 검사(r＝.51) 및 사회성숙도 검사(r＝.60)와도 높은 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
