Moral Development in Montessori and Traditional Preschool Children: Does School Type Make a Difference?
See More
Abstract/Notes: This study investigates the moral development of thirty 5-year-old children in Montessori and traditional preschools. Data for the study were derived from five sources: an intelligence test; a perspective taking task; an altruism/helping task; an altruism/sharing task; and an interview for exploring moral reasoning. Two 30 to 45 minute sessions were used for data gathering. Comparisons were made between school type and across the total sample in regard to altruistic behavior, specifically helping and sharing; moral judgement, specifically positive justice reasoning; and cognitive perspective taking. Positive justice reasoning and altruistic behavior were not found to be affected by exposure to a Montessori or traditional school environment. Rather, results indicated that developmental influences alone determined reasoning and behavior, thus confirming developmental theories of moral growth, and suggesting as well that direct intervention or teaching may be more effective than environment in spurring moral growth.

Abstract/Notes: Eines der wichtigsten Ziele der Montessori-Pädagogik besteht darin, die Fähigkeit zur Konzentration zu fördern. Diesem Ziel dient vor allem auch das „Gehen auf der Linie“, eine der bekanntesten Übungen nach Montessori und verschiedene Stilleübungen. Die Autorin beschreibt zum einen auf eine klare und praxistaugliche Weise deren Ablauf und zeigt, wie man sie am besten einführt; zum anderen erläutert sie aber auch eingehend den Sinn der Übungen, ihre Bedeutung für die kindliche Entwicklung und ihre Einbettung in den Gesamtzusammenhang der Pädagogik Montessoris. [One of the most important goals of Montessori pedagogy is to promote the ability to concentrate. Above all, “walking on the line”, one of the most well-known exercises according to Montessori, and various stillness exercises serve this purpose. On the one hand, the author describes their process in a clear and practical way and shows how best to introduce them; on the other hand, she also explains in detail the meaning of the exercises, their importance for the child's development and their embedding in the overall context of Montessori's pedagogy.]
