What do you think of Montessori education? What is Montessori education?

The best thing is yes, it's a very unusual education.

Montessori education is an educational method named after Maria Montessori, an Italian female educator.

In 1907, Montessori established a "children's home" in the slums of Rome. Recruiting 3-6-year-old children to educate them, she uses her own original methods of teaching, and the results are amazing; After a few years, those "ordinary, poor" children underwent a huge change in their minds, and they were raised into intelligent, confident, educated, and vigorous young talents.

Montessori's new and fascinating approach to teaching caused a sensation throughout Europe, and "reports of these wonderful children spread like wildfire." Many new "children's homes" were built modelled on the Montessori model.

In 1909, Montessori wrote the book "Scientific Educational Methods for Children's Homes", which was published in the United States in 1912 and was quickly translated into more than 20 languages and circulated around the world. More than 100 countries have introduced Montessori methods, and Montessori movements have emerged in Europe and the United States.

1913 By 1915, Montessori schools had spread to all continents of the world. Montessori caused a revolution in early childhood education around the world.

Features of Montessori education:

Montessori believed that the child has great potential, and his development in life is to become independent. Through specific exercises such as basic life ability exercises, sensory exercises for the five senses, and intellectual exercises (language, mathematics, science), etc., the foundation of a sound personality is formed.

The Montessori classroom is the prototype of a small society in which children learn to respect and accept others, learn how to share the knowledge and skills they have learned, and learn how to lead others. Montessori classrooms provide an environment that fosters children's emotional intelligence.

The Montessori curriculum, which includes sensory, motor, capable, linguistic, and moral development, enables the individual to become a person who is physically and mentally integrated. "Freedom" and "discipline" are combined, and "individuality" and "group" are taken into account. Inspire children to enable them to solve difficulties, adapt to new environments, and achieve self-construction and mental development.

Montessori education is an educational method proposed by Ms. Montessori to correct the gaps. Montessori education is child-oriented, providing a good learning environment and good educational resources for children, and using teachers as an assistant to guide children's self-learning.

Advantages: 1. Grasp the sensitive period of children: follow the characteristics of the sensitive period of learning and improve the learning effect.

2. Mixed-age teaching: Children of different ages will imitate and learn from each other, and develop good social behaviors of children who are willing to help others.

3. Eliminate the reward and punishment system: adopt a way of respecting children and cultivate children's budding sense of dignity.

Disadvantages: The disadvantage of Montessori education is that people who do not understand Montessori do not give up their roots, and children do not achieve all-round development.
