Sažetak

This study sought to compare the executive functions, self-regulated learning behaviours and mastery motivation levels of 66- to 72-month-old children receiving Montessori education and those educated according to the non-Montessori programmes. The research sample included a total of 100 children – 50 from Montessori institutions and 50 from institutions in the MNE’s preschool education programme (Ministry of National Education), out of which 51 girls and 49 boys, and 10 teachers. The normality of the data’s distribution was checked via Shapiro-Wilks test. As the data did not demonstrate a normal distribution, non-parametric tests were employed, and descriptive statistics were presented as median (min-max) values. Two-group comparisons were conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The findings showed that children in Montessori programs exhibited higher mastery motivation, better self-regulated learning skills and more advanced executive functions than children in the MNE program.
