Abstract/Summary
The researchers of this study aimed to show that pre-school children trained under the Montessori method have higher self-concept than the pre-school children trained under the Traditional method. The study sought to answer the following questions: (1) What is the self-concept with regards to self and relationship with significant others of the pre-school children trained under the Montessori method? (2) What is the self-concept with regards to self and relationship with significant others of the pre-school children trained under the Traditional method? (3) Is there a difference between the self-concept with regards to self and relationship with significant others of pre-school children trained under the Montessori method and the Traditional method? A total of sixty (60) five-year old pre-school children were used as subjects. Thirty (30) of whom were trained under the Montessori method and the other thirty (30) trained under the Traditional method. The Montessori schools used were namely: Makati Montessori Educational Center, Genesis Integrated Montessori and Little People's Montessori. On the other hand, schools using the Traditional method were Colegio San Agustin, Child Learning Center and Salome Tan Pre-school, Ten children were purposively chosen in each school, five of whom were males and five were females.The Pictorial Self-concept Scale Test for pre-schoolers and early graders by Munnariz and Pasao (1988) was used to measure the self-concept of pre-school children. This instrument was administered to the subjects individually.;"The descriptive research design was used to analyze the data gathered. Frequencies and mean scores served as basis for interpretations. The t-test was employed in determining whether significant differences exist.Results indicated that no significant difference exists between the self-concept of these pre-school children trained under the Montessori method and the Traditional method. The self-concept of a child may not be merely influenced by the kind of educational method one acquires. Self-concept may be affected by other factors since it is multiply-determined."
