“…A growing body of research from conventional and special education classrooms demonstrates that the specific teaching of the component skills of writing improves the quality of children's written compositions. [51][52][53][54] With respect to teaching mathematics to young children, there are many recommendations that Montessori teachers would recognise in their own classrooms, such as teaching geometry, number and operations using a developmental progression, and using progress monitoring to ensure that mathematics instruction builds on what each child knows. 55 Some of the recommended activities, such as 'help children to recognise, name, and compare shapes, and then teach them to combine and separate shapes' 55 map exactly on to Montessori's sensorial materials such as the geometric cabinet and the constructive triangles.…”

The Montessori educational method has existed for over 100 years, but evaluations of its effectiveness are scarce. This review paper has three aims, namely to (1) identify some key elements of the method, (2) review existing evaluations of Montessori education, and (3) review studies that do not explicitly evaluate Montessori education but which evaluate the key elements identified in (1). The goal of the paper is therefore to provide a review of the evidence base for Montessori education, with the dual aspirations of stimulating future research and helping teachers to better understand whether and why Montessori education might be effective.

“…Cette modalité n'a pas été traitée dans les études recensées, probablement à cause de la difficulté à l'opérationnaliser. De toute façon, il semble qu'un consensus soit apparu depuis, en enseignement des langues secondes, quant à la pertinence d'enseigner explicitement l'écriture (Andrews, R., Torgerson, C., Beverton, S., Freeman, A., Locke, T., Low, G., Robinson, A. et Zhu, D. 2006 ;Ellis, 2006), bien que l'on reconnaisse la valeur ajoutée des apprentissages implicites (Perruchet et Pacton, 2004). On pourrait, par contre, considérer cette modalité pour l'enseignement des structures de textes, par exemple, au contact de ceux d'autres auteurs, en visant un transfert des connaissances par modélisation.…”

Les termes méthodes déductives et méthodes inductives sont abondamment utilisés dans le discours concernant l’intervention éducative. Nous avons mené une recension d’écrits concernant l’efficience des méthodes inductives et déductives en didactique des langues. Nous démontrons que l’efficience des unes par rapport aux autres ne peut être soutenue par les recherches comparatives dichotomiques, la prise en considération d’un cadre d’analyse plus large de l’intervention éducative étant nécessaire. Nous fournissons, par la même occasion, un cadre conceptuel pour la définition des méthodes déductives et inductives.The terms deductive and inductive approaches are widely used in the discourse about educational intervention. We conducted a literature review on articles about the efficiency of inductive and deductive approaches in language teaching. We show by this literature review that clear conclusions about their comparative efficiency cannot be supported by the actual dichotomous research. We suggest, at the same time, a larger conceptual framework to integrate deductive and inductive approaches.Los términos métodos deductivos y métodos inductivos son ampliamente utilizados en el discurso referente a la intervención educativa. Llevamos a cabo una revisión de literatura acerca de la eficiencia de los métodos inductivos y deductivos en didáctica de las lenguas. Demostramos que la eficiencia de unos en relación a los otros no puede ser apoyada por las investigaciones comparativas dicotómicas, ya que se necesita tomar en consideración un marco de análisis más amplio de la intervención educativa. Al mismo tiempo proporcionamos un marco conceptual para la definición de los métodos deductivos e inductivos

“…Two significant large-scale meta-analyses (Andrews et al, 2006;Hillocks, 1986) found no evidence of a relationship. It should be noted that these studies concern the teaching of grammar separated from the teaching of writing.…”

Summary. The teaching of reading is the subject of much national and international study and the focus of considerable attention from education administrators and politicians, as well as educators. The teaching of writing receives less attention. Yet it is both complex and an essential part of education. This paper presents an overview of research into the teaching of writing in Anglophone countries from the last 40 years or so. Unlike the teaching of reading, there appears to be little controversy over the most effective approaches: researchers in the US, UK, New Zealand and Australia appear to be in broad agreement about the most effective ways of going about this complex task. While those learning to write in English have to struggle with a particularly opaque orthography, the findings from the studies cited below could also apply to teaching in other languages, particularly those with alphabetic orthographies.
