[[alternative]]Montessori Materials Design and Implementation forThree to Six Years Old Children – Flower

[[abstract]]本課程實驗的主要目的是透過蒙特梭利教學法及應用其原則設計教材，教授3至6歲學齡前兒童學習不同花朵的名稱及其構造的名稱。此實驗課程採用單一樣本的面授認知評估前測驗及後測驗以檢視10位幼兒的學習成效。實驗目標以蒙特梭利教學法提升幼兒對植物學花朵的知識。整個課程實驗為期四星期，研究者按蒙特梭利教學法中的五大學習區域設計不同的花朵教材，研究者於教學過程中調整及修正教材以配合幼兒的學習需要及興趣。實驗研究結果顯示所有幼兒均能說出四種花朵名稱（玫瑰花、翠珠花、小牡丹、繡球花）及三個花朵結構部分的名稱（花瓣、花莖、花葉）。蒙特梭利教學法能有效提升幼兒提升對植物學 – 花朵的認知能力。[[abstract]]The main purpose of this project is to introduce the name of different flowers to 3 to 6 years old preschool children by applying Montessori method. The researcher conducted a single sample of face to face pre-test and post-test of cognitive assessment method to evaluate and review the results of 10 children’s learning. The project aims at enhancing children’s knowledge of botany in the Montessori classroom. It was implemented for 4 weeks, the researcher designed various flower materials based on the five learning areas of Montessori method. The result indicated that children developed further knowledge of botany- flower names and flower parts. The result showed that all children were able to name the four flower names (Rose, Lace Flower, Ranunculus and Hydrangea) and three flower parts (petal, peduncle and leaf). The researcher also modifies and revises the flower materials according to children’s learning needs and interests. Montessori education can expand children’s knowledge of botany – flower
