There is a statistically significant difference for the experimental group in the pre and post tests and in favor of the post application, meaning that the Montessori approach had a positive impact in developing the cognitive awareness of the research sampl, There is also a statistically significant difference for the experimental and control groups in the post-test and in favor of the experimental group, and this indicates the positive impact of the Montessori approach in developing the cognitive awareness of the experimental group. A number of recommendations were presented, including the application of the Montessori approach in all private and governmental Riyadh because of its significant impact on thinking and cognitive abilities in general and the development of cognitive awareness in particular.
