Abstract/Notes: As research today is often required to validate innovative aspects of education, David Sobel's analysis of the SEER report makes quantitative sense of nature education and its ability to improve learning. Test scores increase, attendance surges, language arts assessments show richer self-expression, speaking skills gain a community cause, math engagement flourishes, and students do science and not just study science. Environmental education combined with service learning takes the school into a higher purpose and creates rich learning incentives.

Abstract/Notes: As Montessori programs in public schools expand, Montessori education is becoming available to a more diverse population of American students than ever before. Students of color have a significant presence in public Montessori schools; over a quarter of students in whole-school public Montessori programs are African American. As these programs grow, researchers have increasingly directed their attention to demonstrating that Montessori works in public schools; however, few studies have examined outcomes for African American students at the lower elementary level, when critical reading and math skills are being established. This study sought to answer the question, how effectively does Montessori instruction promote achievement for African American third grade students in reading and math, compared to similar traditional schools and other public school choice programs?

Abstract/Notes: Funding for Preschool programs has currently become a political agenda being debated in our nation. It is important to give our children an early start to education regardless of socioeconomic status, as it can be beneficial to them as they grow. This study will provide evidence to sway our politicians to fund preschool programs as they positively affect children in their kindergarten year. Historical Teaching Strategies Gold assessment data of 84 randomly selected kindergarten students will provide evidence of the effects of a preschool program. This data was collected from a year in kindergarten and consists of students that have attended a preschool in-district program, students who have attended a Head Start and outsider provider preschool program, and students who have no preschool education. Although this study did not have a significant difference among the groups, the researcher found that students who have attended an in-district preschool program made better positive gains throughout their kindergarten year than students who attended a Head Start and outside provider preschool program and those students who did not have a preschool education.

Freiarbeit und Leistung in der Montessori-Pädagogik [Free Work and Achievement in Montessori Pedagogy]

Montessori method of education - Criticism, interpretation, etc.

Abstract/Notes: In diesem Band wird an 24 Praxis-Beispielen aus der Montessori-Freiarbeit – allesamt erprobt und mit zahlreichen Fotos veranschaulicht – aufgezeigt, wie Leistung in der Freiarbeit gewertschätzt und bewertet werden kann. Vor dem Hintergrund Maria Montessoris Verständnisses vom Kind und seiner Leistung, sich selbst zu erschaffen und weiterzuentwickeln, wird der pädagogische Leistungsbegriff erläutert und mit den gesellschaftlichen Ansprüchen verknüpft. Die Forderung einer Kompetenzorientierung, nach der sich eine Leistungsbewertung ausrichten sollte, wird unter die Lupe genommen und mit der Freiarbeit im Sinne Maria Montessoris verbunden. [This volume uses 24 practical examples from Montessori free work - all tried and tested and illustrated with numerous photos - to show how performance in free work can be valued and evaluated. Against the background of Maria Montessori's understanding of the child and its ability to create and develop itself, the educational concept of achievement is explained and linked to social demands. The demand for a competence orientation, according to which a performance assessment should be based, is examined closely and linked to free work in the sense of Maria Montessori.]

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.
