What Is the Montessori Method?
This system of education is both a philosophy of child development and a rationale for guiding such growth. It is based on the children’s developmental needs for freedom within limits, as well as a carefully prepared environment that guarantees exposure to materials and experiences. Through this, children develop intelligence as well as physical and psychological abilities. It is designed to take full advantage of a child’s desire to learn and their unique ability to develop their own capabilities. Children need adults to expose them to the possibilities of their life, but children must determine their response to those possibilities.
The main premises of Montessori education are:
- Children are to be respected as different from adults and as individuals who differ from each other.
- Children possess an unusual sensitivity and intellectual ability to absorb and learn from their environment that are unlike those of the adult both in quality and capacity.
- The most important years of a child’s growth are the first six years of life when unconscious learning is gradually brought to the conscious level.
- Children have a deep love and need for purposeful work. They work, however, not as an adult for completion of a job, but the sake of an activity itself. It is this activity that enables them to accomplish their most important goal: the development of oneself — their mental, physical, and psychological powers.
