Abstract

In the context of rapidly evolving educational technologies, Montessori preschool learning requires developmentally appropriate innovations that preserve hands-on exploration while enhancing children’s cognitive and sensorial growth. This study aims to investigate the integration of emerging technologies such as AI-assisted learning applications, multimodal digital storytelling, and sensor-based interactive materials within Montessori environments to understand how these tools can support autonomy, concentration, and individualized learning rhythms. The approach focuses on a qualitative case study involving classroom observations, teacher interviews, and analysis of children’s learning behaviours, with a total of 206 participants, to capture how technology is adopted and adapted in authentic preschool contexts. Findings indicate that technology aligned with Montessori principles increases engagement with sensorial tasks, enriches exploration, strengthens differentiated learning pathways, and provides teachers with accurate insight into developmental progress, although excessive digital exposure may reduce children’s interaction with concrete materials. Therefore, the study concludes that thoughtfully integrated emerging technologies can serve as a natural extension of Montessori learning when applied moderately, grounded in pedagogical intention, and designed to enhance rather than replace physical and self-directed experiences, ultimately demonstrating that balanced integration offers meaningful benefits for young learners.

Abstract

This research explores the latest in information decentralization using blockchain technology in e-journal applications. Using a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach via SmartPLS, this research integrates variables such as Data Security (KD), Information Transparency (IT), and User Participation (PP) to measure the direct and indirect influence ofblockchain technology . Data was collected from 250 respondents consisting of researchers, developers and end users of e-journals. Analysis shows that Data Security (KD) plays an important role in increasing Information Transparency (IT) with a path coefficient value of 0.75. Furthermore, Information Transparency (IT) significantly influences User Participation (PP) with a pathcoefficient value of 0.65. These results suggest that blockchain implementation not only improves data security, but also facilitates greater transparency, which in turn increases user participation in e-journals. This research makes an important contribution to the literature by showing how specific variables can be leveraged to optimize the application of blockchain technology in the context of e-journals.
