Abstract/Notes: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Montessori education on the creative thinking of working children in Tehran. Method: This research is in the category of quasi-experimental intervention researches, pre-test, post-test with control group. The statistical population of this research was made up of working children in one of the charity centers supporting children in the 12th district of Tehran in 1402. The statistical sample includes 40 working children who were selected based on the available random method from the statistical population and were divided into 2 experimental and control groups of 20 people. The data collection tool in this research was Torrance Visual Creativity Test Form "B" and the Montessori educational program was used to teach children. In order to analyze the data, the covariance analysis method was used. Findings: The findings showed that Montessori education had an effect on the scales of fluidity (p≤0.01), flexibility (p≤0.01) and expansion (p≤0.01), but the effectiveness of the intervention was not observed. In order to analyze the data, the covariance analysis method was used. Conclusion: In order to increase the creativity of working children in Tehran, instead of using lecture methods and theoretical discussions, they should rely more on working with necessary and sufficient tools, facilities and equipment and provide the necessary opportunities for children to use them. / هدف: هدف این پژوهش بررسی تأثیر آموزش به روش مونته‌سوری بر تفکر خلاق کودکان کار شهر تهران بود. روش کار: این پژوهش در طبقه پژوهش‌های مداخله‌ای شبه‌آزمایشی و از نوع پیش آزمون، پس آزمون با گروه کنترل قرار دارد. جامعه آماری این پژوهش را کودکان کار در یکی از مراکز نیکوکاری حامی کودکان در منطقه 12 شهر تهران در سال 1402 تشکیل دادند. نمونه آماری شامل 40 کودک کار است که بر اساس روش تصادفی در دسترس از جامعه آماری انتخاب شده و به 2 گروه آزمایش و کنترل 20 نفری تقسیم شدند. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها در این پژوهش آزمون سنجش خلاقیت تورنس تصویری فرم"ب" بود و جهت آموزش کودکان از برنامه آموزشی مونته سوری استفاده شده است. به منظور تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از روش تحلیل کوواریانس استفاده شد. نتایج: یافته‌ها نشان داد آموزش به روش مونته‌سوری بر مقیاس‌های سیالی (p≤0/01)، انعطاف‌پذیری (p≤0/01) و بسط (p≤0/01) تأثیر داشته اما بر مولفه ابتکار اثربخشی مداخله مشاهده نشد. به منظور تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از روش تحلیل کوواریانس استفاده شد. نتیجه ­گیری: جهت افزایش خلاقیت کودکان کار شهر تهران به جای به کارگیری روش‌های سخنرانی و بحث‌های نظری، بیشتر متکی بر کارکردن با ابزارها، امکانات و وسایل لازم و کافی شوند و نیز فرصت‌های لازم را برای استفاده از آن‌ها را برای کودکان فراهم نمایند.

Abstract/Notes: Penelitian kualitatif deskriptif ini memiliki tujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan berpikir logis AUD melalui permainan Montessori ditinjau dari gender, yang melibatkan 16 siswa TK dari 8 sekolah yang ada di Kabupaten Aceh Tengah. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui tes, observasi dan wawancara. Analisis data dilakukan dengan cara transkrip data, reduksi data, validasi atau triangulasi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diketahui bahwa kemampuan berpikir logis dan simbolik siswa berada pada level Berkembang Sesuai Harapan. Pada indikator mengenal perbedaan berdasarkan ukuran “lebih dari”, “kurang dari” dan “paling/ter”, siswa laki-laki berada pada level Berkembang Sangat Baik dan siswa perempuan pada level Berkembang Sesuai Harapan. Pada indikator mengklasifikasikan benda berdasarkan warna, bentuk dan ukuran (3 variasi), siswa laki-laki berada pada level Berkembang Sesuai Harapan dan siswa perempuan pada level Mulai Berkembang. Pada indikator mengurutkan benda berdasarkan ukuran dari paling kecil ke paling besar atau sebaliknya, serta mengenal pola ABCD-ABCD, baik siswa laki-laki maupun siswa perempuan berada pada level Berkembang Sesuai Harapan dan Mulai Berkembang. [This descriptive qualitative study aims to analyze the logical thinking ability of early childhood through Montessori games in terms of gender, which involved 16 kindergarten students from 8 schools in Central Aceh Regency. The data in this study were obtained through tests, observations and interviews. Data analysis was carried out by means of data transcription, data reduction, data validation or triangulation, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Based on the results of the study, it is known that students' logical and symbolic thinking skills are at the level of Developing According to Expectations. In the indicator of recognizing differences based on the size of "more than", "less than" and "most/ter", male students are at the Very Good Developing level and female students are at the Expected Developing level. In the indicator of classifying objects based on color, shape and size (3 variations), male students are at the Developing As Expected level and female students are at the Beginning to Develop level. In the indicator of sorting objects by size from the smallest to the largest or vice versa, as well as recognizing the ABCD-ABCD pattern, both male and female students are at the level of Developing According to Expectations and Starting to Develop.]

Abstract/Notes: In this study, systems thinking and codesign principles are applied together to develop a process framework to identify leverage points for an intervention in a new Montessori school. We show how a series of codesign workshops with children, parents, teachers, and management generated insights into the importance of collaboratively codesigning with stakeholders while applying Soft Systems Methodology (SSM). This approach demonstrates the advantages of incorporating diverse perspectives and fostering group coaction. These findings add to the limited literature on the practical applications of process-focused SSM, as they have informed the development of a step-by-step plan for forthcoming data collection sessions at the school, which will be organized as a Summer Research Camp. The future Summer Research Camp project will focus on continuing to work with the stakeholders to codesign interventions in the system, by following the SSM cycle aimed at gaining an understanding of the systemic factors affecting the school.

Abstract/Notes: On page 22, Paul Epstein ("Work Needs Play") argues that both work and play are essential elements, especially in light of the social isolation that children experienced during the pandemic. On page 34, Tori Virlee, Erin Hardin, and Chelsea McKinlay ("A Journey into the Science of Reading") present challenges that children at the Early Childhood level face when it comes to developing reading skills and offer reasoning for these challenges as well as some techniques to augment what the Montessori Language materials provide. The Montessori Movement was created to serve social justice, but it also evolved in a climate of colonialist and oppressive policies and practices, some ofwhich persist today.

Abstract/Notes: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the Learning Cycle 7E learning model assisted by Montessori media on the critical thinking skills of elementary school students in class IV hearing senses. This research is motivated by the existence of a phenomenon where students have difficulty understanding material about the sense of hearing which is quite complicated because of the many terms used. Science subjects in elementary schools are generally taught by lecture and assignment methods, this will make students feel bored faster in class and unable to absorb the information conveyed correctly. Therefore, research was made to show how effective the Learning Cycle 7E model assisted by Montessori media was on students' critical thinking skills. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach with quasi-experimental methods. The research design developed was a quasi-experimental design model with nonequivalent control group design. The sample used was fourth grade students at SDN Sukarasa. As for the data processing techniques, the authors use descriptive techniques to obtain conclusions from this study. As a result, there is a positive relationship from the Montessori media-assisted LC 7E learning model to students' critical thinking skills. This is also supported by the opinions of experts on how effective learning can be done, one of which is by using a fun learning model so that children's thinking abilities increase.

Abstract/Notes: Research Findings: A quasi-experiment was undertaken to test the effect of Montessori practical life activities on kindergarten children's fine motor development and hand dominance over an 8-month period. Participants were 50 children age 5 in 4 Montessori schools and 50 students age 5 in a kindergarten program in a high-performing suburban elementary school. Children were pre- and posttested on the Flag Posting Test, an individually administered test of fine motor skill requiring children to place tiny flags mounted on pins into preset pinholes. Students in the Montessori treatment group demonstrated significantly higher accuracy, speed, and consistent use of the dominant hand on the posttest, adjusted for pretest differences and gender. Effect sizes were moderate for accuracy and speed (ds = .53 and .37, respectively) and large for established hand dominance (▵R2 = .35). Longitudinal research on the effects of early childhood programs emphasizing the reciprocal interplay of cognitive and physical aspects of activity is recommended. Practice or Policy: The findings argue for a balanced approach to early childhood education that maintains the importance of physical activity and fine motor development in conjunction with cognitive skills. Montessori practical life activities involving eye–hand coordination and fine motor skills can be integrated into programs.
