el método montessori como herramienta pedagógica para el aprendizaje significativo en niños del nivel inicial ii-ii en machala,2023

Abstract

This research was conducted at the Augusta Mora de Franco School of Basic Education, where the objective of this study is to determine the importance of the Montessori Method for the generation of meaningful learning in children of initial level II. Therefore, the methodology of this research is quantitative in nature and framed in a non-experimental design with a correlational scope. In the development of this inquiry, 2 teachers and 25 children from Initial II were used as samples; similarly for data collection we use research tools such as the observation guide for teachers and children, as well as an interview questionnaire. It should be mentioned that the structures of the guides had approximately 14 indicators and were subdivided according to the variables established in the matrix of operationalization between them the Montessori Method and Meaningful Learning. On the other hand, the interview was composed of a questionnaire with 10 questions related to the variables. Finally, with the results obtained and after a subsequent statistical analysis it was possible to show that the teachers of initial education II were unaware of the theoretical basis of the Montessori Method; therefore, it was concluded that this methodology is not applied in the classrooms from theory, but from empirical, making the learning process a traditionalist model. In the same way, the respective recommendations were made in order for teachers to improve their teaching and include new methods that allow the child to build his or her learning.
