“…If a child has not been able to act according to the directives of his sensitive period, the opportunity of a natural conquest is gone, and once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever (1936 / 2016.b.). This is supported by the findings revealed by Ohtoshi, Muraki and Takada (2008). They investigated the age and sex-related developmental differences of button ability, observing buttoning ability in children aged 36-83 months, focusing on age and sex differences.…”

This study investigated the effects of Montessori Training Program for Mothers (MTPM) on math and daily living skills of Montessori children ages 4 to 5 years old. Sample of the study included 19 Montessori pre-schoolers (8 and 11 children in experimental and control group respectively) who enrolled at an applied kindergarten affiliated to a university at Konya in 2016-2017 school year. Verified to be a reliable and valid measure for Turkish children, two subtests -Mathematics (MATH) and Daily Living Skills (DLS) -of the Basic School Skills Inventory 3 (BSSI) were used to collect data. Tests were administered to the students as pre-test, post-test and follow-up test by their teachers. MTPM was administered to the mothers in the experimental group for 12 weeks-36 hours in total while control and experimental group children continued their Montessori education. Four weeks after the program was completed, BSSI-3-MATH and BSSI-3-DLS tests were re-administered as follow-up test. Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test were used for the analysis of the study data. A comparison between the post-test mean scores of the experimental and control group showed a significant difference (p <.05) in math skills favoring the experimental group; no difference was found in pre and post-test scores in daily living skills (p>0.5). No significant difference was noted between the post-test and follow-up mean scores that experimental group children obtained on BSSI-3-MATH and BSSI-3-DLS, which showed that program gains were maintained.

“…The belief that proficiency in fundamental motor skills correlates with enhanced socioeconomic conditions is widespread ( Armstrong et al, 2011 ; Pienaar et al, 2015 ). For instance, East Asian countries, where the norm is to use chopsticks for eating, foster distinct fine motor skills encompassing active muscle control, focused concentration, and adept visual and motor coordination ( Ohtoshi et al, 2008 ; Lee et al, 2019 ). Consequently, even individuals diagnosed with DCD, raised in East Asian cultural contexts, might showcase comparable or superior fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination compared to their non-East Asian TD peers ( Chow et al, 2001 ).…”

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), also known as Dyspraxia, is characterized by movement difficulties in individuals without discernible neurological disorders or identifiable medical conditions. Previous studies from various countries have highlighted disparities in anthropometric, physical activity, and psychological characteristics between children diagnosed with DCD and their typically developing (TD) peers. These differences are influenced by sociocultural norms and geographical locations. However, little attention has been given to scrutinizing analogous differences in adult populations, particularly within Republic of Korea. This study aims to address this knowledge gap by employing a battery of questionnaires to assess anthropometric, physical activity, and psychological traits in a cohort of 377 Korean adults, encompassing those with DCD (n = 54) alongside TD counterparts (n = 323). It was hypothesized that Korean adults with DCD would exhibit higher body mass index and lower ratings in physical activity and psychological characteristics than TD, consistent with the previous studies performed in other countries on children. The results showed no statistically significant differences between the DCD and TD groups in anthropometric characteristics such as weight (kg), height (cm), and body mass index. The prevalence of walking and biking for daily commuting in daily routines within Korean society might have contributed to the mitigation of anthropometric among individuals with/without DCD. Statistically significant differences were found in physical activity levels at work and recreational settings, as shown in physical activity scores and duration. The DCD group also displayed lower scores across several psychological characteristics, including exercise adherence, intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, physical self-concept, exercise expectations, and intrinsic regulation. These findings underscore the necessity of incorporating sociocultural dynamics when investigating anthropometric, physical activity, and psychological characteristics in adults with DCD. Their perceived difficulties in fine motor skills were also significantly poor than TD. Future research studies are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms driving the observed patterns in this study, thus contributing to a more nuanced comprehension of how DCD manifests within specific sociocultural contexts.

“…When the related literature is analysed, there are studies that children receiving preschool education with Montessori approach positively affect their social-emotional (Lilliard and Else Quest, 2006;Lillard, 2008;Koçyiğit and Kaygılı, 2008;Shankland França, Genolini, Guelfi ve İonescu, 2009;Yücesan and Özyürek, 2017), cognitive (Denervaud, Knebel, Hagmann and Gentaz, 2019;Yiğit, 2008) and motor (Cifferi, 2003;Ohtoshi, Muraki and Takada, 2008) development as well as their academic achievement (Lopata, Wallace and Finn, 2005;Rule and Welch, 2008;Jacobson, 2007;Bower, 2009) and communication skills (Chou, 2004;Yurteri Tiryaki, Aral, Yıldız Bıçakçı, Çetin Sultanoğlu and Şahin, 2015). When the findings obtained from the literature are evaluated, it comes to the forefront that the Montessori approach is a very effective programme with the support of all developmental areas of children and the effective continuation of education processes with the prepared environment.…”

Bu araştırmada, okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının Montessori yaklaşımına yönelik algılarını metaforlar aracılığıyla belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma modeli desenlerinden olgubilim (fenomenoloji) deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi, Eğitim Fakültesi, Okul Öncesi Eğitimi Anabilim Dalında eğitim görmekte olan 105 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Bu formda öğretmen adaylarının “Montessori yaklaşımı…... gibidir. Çünkü ……” cümlesini tamamlamaları istenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi tekniği ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda; en fazla ‘Kuş, Yapboz ve Yaşam/hayat’ metaforları olmak üzere toplamda 59 çeşit metafor geliştirdikleri görülmüştür. Öğretmen adaylarının Montessori yaklaşımına yönelik en fazla yaklaşımın felsefesi ile ilgili olarak özgürlük kategorisine yönelik metafor oluşturdukları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları yaklaşımın doğası ve ilgili literatür ışığında değerlendirilmiştir.
