The Origin and Development of Democracy in Education in Time Perspective
See More
Abstract/Notes: In this study the origin and development of democracy in education through the ages is traced in terms of a historico-educational examination of the ideas and practices of about ten educationists. The new outcomesbased education and learning approach is also examined. The educationists are inter alia: (1) Plato (427-347 BC); (2) Marcus Fabius Quintilian (35-100 AD); (3) Aurelius Augustine (354-430 AD); (4) Desiderius Erasmus (1466-1536 AD); (5) John Amos Comenius (1592-1670); (6) John Locke (1632-1704); (7) Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778); (8) Maria Montessori (1870-1952); (9) John Dewey (1859-1952); (10) Paulo Freire (1912- ). It was found that democracy in educational theory and practice was addressed, established and developed since ancient times (the ancient Greeks) right up to the present. Finally, the educational philosophy and practices of these educationists as well the outcomes-based educational approach in South Africa are examined in terms of their essential democratic features and recommendations are made regarding the present education system in South Africa.

The Development of a Rating Scale: Documentation and Nongraded Multiage Programs
See More
Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study is to establish internal consistency and validity on a survey instrument that has resulted from previous research which examined the perceptions of six teachers as they engaged in the implementation of a nongraded, multiage continuous progress primary program. The need for documentation of student progress was identified by the previous study, and the content of the resulting rating scale represents the perceived benefits of nongradedness. Since the previous research also identified challenges with assessment and the school administration, the rating scale measuring eight different categories was developed to offer teachers of multiage students documentation of the progress students make in multiage classrooms. Using Cronbach's coefficient alpha to measure the internal consistency of the preliminary survey instrument, values ranging from 0.84 to 0.98 were obtained. The preliminary instrument was reduced to 11 questions representing the 8 categories...

Abstract/Notes: Introduction: Early Childhood Education and development is a start to life and a reliable foundation to continuing education. One of the reasons that early childhood is regarded up to the age of eight is to enable children acquire a smooth understanding of the entire education from the level of play group to pre-primary and from pre-primary to the level of primary. Purpose of the Study: The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Montessori teaching methods on the developmental domain of young children in early childhood schools in Lagos state. Methodology: Descriptive survey research design was adopted. Sample size of two (12) schools of 10 pupils each in the selected schools was employed using convenience sampling technique. Validated questionnaire was used for data collection. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics which involves measures of central tendency descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage). Results: Findings indicate that there is higher impact of Montessori teaching methods on the literacy skills in early childhood education. Pupils from both Montessori and Non-Montessori schools perform equally better in Numeracy Skills. The impact of conventional method of teaching on reasoning skill is better than that of Montessori Method of teaching. Conclusion: In conclusion, many aspects of Montessori teaching methods positively consider children's developmental needs and should be an integral part of teachers’ working modalities in so-called “non-Montessori teaching methods (conventional public schools)” (such as the possibility for each child to be in multi-age classes; to have an absence of explicit, formal grades, rewards, or punishments; and a low teacher-student ratio). Recommendations: Based on the results of this study, it is therefore recommended that Montessori system of education may be used to improve language skills of children and to understand art of language at early childhood level.
