However, the question may come to mind concerning the number of teachers applying such productions, how they perceive such productions, and if they use them, for what purpose they use them. This study was designed to investigate the Iranian Arabic teachers’ perception of applying educational software. To find the answer to these questions, the researchers have developed a survey and interview with 29 Arabic teachers in Ahar. The results from the interview and survey indicated that more than half of the teachers apply such productions for teaching grammar and pronunciation more than other skills and sections of the book. However, they also believe that not all parts of the available software are adequate for usage. Thus, the findings of the present study might be useful for Arabic language supervisor teachers and educational software designers, to improve the quality of the software and also to motivate the teachers to use them in their classrooms. \u0000Keywords: Arabic language; educational software; foreign language.","PeriodicalId":13793,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advance Research and Innovative Ideas in Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89650728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its widespread, little is known about Montessori education and its effects in mainland China. This research aims to spur more research on Montessori education outcomes in China. A quasi-experimental method was applied in this study, to compare the executive function (EF) development of children who had attended Montessori preschool to their non-Montessori peers. The study used a behavior rating inventory of executive function, second edition (BRIEF2) Parent Form to compare parents' observations of their child's executive functions (EF). Parents of Chinese elementary-aged children (6-8 years old) at the time of the study of both Montessori and non-Montessori preschool backgrounds participated in the survey. According to the results, children of Montessori preschool backgrounds had some statistically significant better-scored EF indexes than their non-Montessori peers. While the remaining indexes were not statistically significant, mean scores were still better for children who had attended Montessori preschool overall.
