Abstract/Notes: Significant macro- and micro-environmental changes in recent decades have culminated in a series of current challenges for learning and teaching in the Higher Education sector. These changes include widening participation and meeting the needs of a diverse student community; the move to a ‘mass’ or ‘universal’ education approach to accommodate increasing student numbers since the 1960s; the increasing accountability of publicly-funded institutions; and political imperatives linking higher education to wider innovation and economic growth...

Abstract/Notes: Within the realm of elementary public schools, several pedagogical models of early childhood education are practiced in the United States (Lillard, 2007). The constructivist approach to early childhood education is illustrative of best practices based on current theory. One model of constructivist early childhood education is the Montessori Method founded in the early twentieth century by Maria Montessori, an Italian physician (Montessori, 1912/1964). Though the Montessori Method is aligned with research-based best practices espoused by constructivism, there are relatively few public Montessori schools currently in the United States. A direct comparison is needed between the academic outcomes of public elementary school programs which implement the Montessori Method and those which implement a more traditional approach to early childhood education. The focus of this study is the academic achievement outcomes of Montessori public school students as compared to similar non-Montessori students.

Differentiation of instructional and curricular practices for gifted students in Montessori classrooms
Available from: ProQuest - Dissertations and Theses
See More
Abstract/Notes: The major purpose of this study was to determine if and how Montessori classrooms differentiate instructional and curricular practices for gifted and talented students. The Classroom Practices Record (Westberg, Dobyns, Archambault, 1990) was used to determine the degree of differentiation. Observations were made of gifted and average children in four private elementary AMS affiliated Montessori classrooms in Indiana. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that little differentiation occurred in verbal or curricular practices for gifted and talented students within the observed classrooms.

Abstract/Notes: This study explores the role of Montessori pedagogy for early childhood pupils in Saudi Arabian. In order to fulfil this aim, this study collected data from a sample of 12 teachers in different five schools in order to explore their attitudes towards the adoption of Montessori pedagogy in early childhood schools. Two types of data collection methods (i.e. interviews and questionnaire) were used in this study. The numeric data collected from the questionnaire was analysed statistically and the textual data collected from interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that teachers believe that using Montessori Pedagogy can help students in early childhood as it enhances their learning quality and performance. Furthermore, using Montessori pedagogy is preferable among teachers of younger ages. However, an efficient adoption of Montessori pedagogy requires sufficient experience from the teachers in using this pedagogy. Other factors that influence the attitudes of teachers towards using Montessori pedagogy include availability of specialist support and the existence of training courses for teachers. In regard to limitations, the results of this study cannot be generalized to the whole population due to the small size of sample adopted in this research.

Abstract/Notes: A comprehensive instructional system to meet the needs of students of differing achievement and grade in the same classroom, this program is characterized by an innovative management system, procedures for continuous assessment of educational needs and achievement, a curriculum based on individual needs, and an emphasis on parent and community involvement. Called Meeting Students' Needs in the Multi-age Group Environment (MSN), the project served 205 students in first, second, and third grades of the Murch Elementary School in Washington, D.C. The evaluation described here focused on implementation of the program, student academic achievement, and self-reliant behavior. Data were gathered through observation, questionnaires, and student achievement tests. Evaluators concluded that (1) the program is meeting student needs in a multiage environment; (2) it can be replicated at other grade levels; (3) parents would like the program expanded to include more children; and (4) there is

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of the Meeting Students' Needs in the Multiage Group Environment (MSN) program was to provide an instructional system to meet the needs of elementary school students of differing achievement, age, and grade level who are in the same classroom. The program, for kindergarten through grade six, was characterized by an innovative management system, a procedure for continuous assessment of educational needs and achievement, an emphasis on the development of independent behavior, and the encouragement of parent and community involvement. MSN was evaluated through a procedure that called for the comparison of intended outcomes to actual outcomes. Findings from standardized tests of achievement indicated that students in grades one through four increased their percentile ranks in reading or mathematics or both. Similar gains were not observed for grades five and six. Two project-designed instruments developed to measure independence, self-reliance, and responsibility did not
