For the most part, the studies cited are not directly related to Montessori methods at all, but the majority of evidence presented supports the teachings of Dr. Montessori, while also highlighting many shortcomings of mainstream education. So, there is actually a fair bit of empirical evidence that shows montessori teaching to be (rather overwhelmingly)more effective than 'traditional' teaching, albeit indirectly. ‘Montessori – The Science Behind the Genius’ by Angeline Stoll Lillard, published by Oxford University Press, is an excellent summary of scientific research on learning, using current research to assess Maria Montessori’s theories.
