The problem
Intervention: Attendance at Montessori schools versus traditional schools
Who it was tested with: 32 students aged 8-12 years from high-quality Swiss Montessori and traditional schools.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"32 students (aged 8-12 years) from high-quality Swiss traditional or Montessori schools performed a math task with feedback during fMRI." The study uses a cross-sectional comparison group design with neuroimaging outcomes, constituting an experimental approach, though causality cannot be established from educational group membership alone.
Small sample size (32 students), cross-sectional design without follow-up, and limited to high-quality schools; unclear whether neural differences translate to better learning outcomes or persist longitudinally.
