Previous research on Montessori preschool education is inconsistent and prone to analytic flexibility. In this preregistered study, disadvantaged preschoolers in a French public school were randomly assigned to either conventional or Montessori classrooms, with the latter being adapted to French public education. Adaptations included fewer materials, shorter work periods, and relatively limited Montessori teacher training. Cross-sectional analyses in kindergarten (N = 176; M = 5-6) and longitudinal analyses over the 3 years of preschool (N = 70; M = 3-6) showed that the adapted Montessori curriculum was associated with outcomes comparable to the conventional curriculum on math, executive functions, and social skills. However, disadvantaged kindergarteners from Montessori classrooms outperformed their peers on reading (d = 0.68). This performance was comparable to that of advantaged children from an accredited Montessori preschool.
先前关于蒙台梭利学前教育的研究结果并不一致,且容易受到分析灵活性的影响。在这项预先注册的研究中,法国一所公立学校的处境不利的学龄前儿童被随机分配到传统或蒙台梭利教室,后者根据法国公共教育进行了调整。调整包括减少材料、缩短工作时间和相对有限的蒙台梭利教师培训。在幼儿园的横断面分析(N=176;M=5-6)和学前 3 年的纵向分析(N=70;M=3-6)中,结果表明,经过调整的蒙台梭利课程与传统课程在数学、执行功能和社会技能方面的结果相当。然而,来自蒙台梭利教室的处境不利的幼儿园儿童在阅读方面的表现优于其同龄人(d=0.68)。这种表现与来自经认可的蒙台梭利学前教育的优势儿童相当。
