Classical Montessori: A Study of the Classical Rhetorical Canons in Early Montessori Writing Instruction
Available from: Old Dominion University Digital Commons

Abstract/Notes: This thesis begins by proposing that all five classical canons are an ideal theory for guiding any writing pedagogy. The majority of the thesis, then, details how Montessori writing instruction synergistically exploits these canons to create a powerful pedagogy. Devised by Maria Montessori in the late 1800s, her instruction displays standard and nonstandard applications of invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery. Because Montessori writing instruction begins in preschool, this thesis concludes with an exploration of the potential benefits of introducing a classical curriculum before college.

Abstract/Notes: This action research project was created to study the different behaviors (focused and unfocused) that occurred when different types of music were played in the background of an early childhood Montessori classroom. The study took place at a private Montessori school located in the southeastern part of Wisconsin. There was a total of 26 children in the classroom which consisted of grades 3K through Kindergarten, with ages ranging between two and a half to six-years old. Over a six-week period, three different music conditions were implemented (two weeks at a time) into the background of the classroom environment; no music, classical music and Disney music. Focused and unfocused behaviors were observed and documented during each music condition. Quantitative and qualitative data collections were used and then analyzed to determine if music aids or deters a child’s focus. The results of the study showed that music does aid in helping a child focus during the work cycle of an early childhood Montessori classroom; specifically, the three-year olds showed the most increase in focused behavior when music played in the background. The effects of music on independent versus group work was also considered during this action research project as well as how to determine which music to include or avoid when playing music in the background of an early childhood classroom.

Abstract/Notes: The following research assesses how the daily integration of singing and listening to music helps to construct a socially cohesive, cooperative and joyful classroom during clean up time. This study combined group singing opportunities, a music listening station and music played during clean up time. The songs used for this study included lyrical themes of cooperation, happiness, overcoming obstacles and/or friendship. The thirty-day study involved twenty-one participants between the ages of six and nine at a public, Montessori school in Missouri. Each individual completed a pre- and post-survey, as well as a survey each time they used the music listening station. During clean up time, observations were taken daily to record instances of helpful behaviors and joy amongst the participants. Results of the surveys showed that the intervention was successful at increasing positive experiences during clean up time and including a Music Listening Station as an available work choice. The intervention was not successful in creating positive experiences when singing together as a group. Further research may include the use of other mediums to promote community and collaboration like the fine arts, sports or other group oriented activities.

Together in One Spirit: The Effects of a Montessori Classroom Team's Spiritual Preparation on Classroom Harmony
Available from: MINDS@UW River Falls
See More
Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study is to explore the spiritual preparation process of a classroom team and its effects on the adults and children in the classroom. It aimed to identify traits and behaviors of leaders and colleagues which support healthy spirituality necessary for a harmonious classroom. The researcher collected data through instruments used by the members of the classroom team, including pre/post surveys, an interactive video journal application called Marco Polo, classroom observations, and a photo journal curated by the members of the team. The researcher then tracked themes throughout the data to identify patterns of behavior which did or did not support adults’ connections to each other, the children and families in their care, and/or the environment of the classroom. It was found that connection to each of these elements was increased through intentional communication both in times of ease and flow, as well as times of challenge. Acceptance of these cycles of joyful and difficult moments as “normal” was also an important factor in the classroom team’s development of shared spirituality.
