Abstract/Notes: This research investigates the learning impact of Montessori prekindergarten training as compared to traditional approaches with economically deprived Puerto Rican and Negro children. The three-part, 156-page monograph includes a 22-page introduction to Parts I and II, and a 37-page appendix to Part I. Parts I and II assess training effects of the first year of schooling, focusing on children beginning prekindergarten at approximately 4 to 4 1/2 years of age. The basic research design also includes an evaluation of training for children beginning school at 3 to 3 1/2 years. Part I contains an evaluation of perceptual and cognitive abilities. Part II investigates pupil preference for cognitive styles typifying ego strength in the young child and relevant for autonomous problem-solving strategies. Part III includes a follow-up assessment conducted at the end of kindergarten in order to investigate the cumulative effects of training over a longer period of schooling. The appendix to Part I contains age, sex, and ethnicity trends for the population investigated, a 25-page description of the test battery, a sample teaching log monthly checklist, and a list of sample questions for teacher interviews. The monograph also includes a list of 54 references used for Parts I, II, and III.

Abstract/Notes: En los Estados Unidos se tiene un porcentaje de 3% a 7% casos de niños con Trastorno por Déficit de Atención (TDA) esto da un parámetro de cómo se está diagnosticando este problema en diferentes instituciones educativas del exterior del país. Hablando específicamente de Bolivia, se tiene una taza de 3% de casos de niños con TDA, lo que también da un parámetro que ya existen casos de niños con este problema diagnosticados. La Ley Avelino Siñani – Elizardo Pérez, en el Artículo 42 señala que debe haber una educación de inclusión, que cree políticas educativas para niños con TDA y otros problemas de aprendizaje que ayuda a mejorar la calidad de aprendizaje y educación de estos infantes. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha, no se puede ver estas políticas en los establecimientos educativos del país. Pese a esta falencia, en la actualidad se tienen muchos métodos que se pueden utilizar para ayudar a que los niños con TDA y otros problemas de aprendizaje puedan mejorar su nivel de aprendizaje. En este sentido, el Método Montessori es bastante recomendable para tratar este problema, que se puede encontrar con más frecuencia en las aulas de Bolivia, el cual, al tener una filosofía basada en la libertad de aprendizaje y que el niño aprenda haciendo, se puede llegar a aprendizajes muy significativos con ellos, además que no solamente fija conocimientos sino que también provee al niño de paciencia, razonamiento y orden, lo cual coadyuva al infante cuando se debe enfrentar a nuevos conocimientos que le son impartidos de forma más abstracta y convencional. De esta manera, con la presente investigación se pudo verificar el problema de nivel de atención en los niños y niñas de primer año en familia comunitaria del Jardín Infantil “Acuarela” y al aplicar el Apparatus del Método Montessori, lo que dio resultados favorables, ya que los niños y niñas elevaron su tiempo de atención y concentración con el mismo.

Abstract/Notes: Learning disabilities have become of increasing concern for educators. More and more children are having difficulty learning to read and write. This dissertation investigates what constitutes a learning disability, its etiology and whether or not it is possible to identify these disabilities in early childhood. The investigation further aims to discover if these learning disabilities are comprised of sub-disabilities and if these can be identified as such. To this end the research aims to determine the most appropriate remedial intervention strategies used for learning disabilities. Multisensory intervention is therefore explored. On the basis of this the Montessori Method is examined to ascertain whether or not the method can contribute to multisensory intervention at the preschool level. It is argued that the Montessori Method is admirably suited to making such a contribution. Further empirical research for these claims is indicated.
