Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian
physician and educator Maria Montessori. Montessori education is practiced
in an estimated 20,000 schools worldwide, serving children from birth to
eighteen years old.[1]
Montessori education is characterized by an emphasis on independence,
freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological
development, as well as technological advancements in society. Although a
range of practices exists under the name "Montessori", the Association
Montessori Internationale (AMI) and the American Montessori Society (AMS)
cite these elements as essential:[2][3]
Mixed age classrooms, with classrooms for children aged 2½ or 3 to 6
years old by far the most common
Student choice of activity from within a prescribed range of options
Uninterrupted blocks of work time
A Constructivism or "discovery" model, where students learn concepts from
working with materials, rather than by direct instruction
Specialized educational materials developed by Montessori and her
collaborators
In addition, many Montessori schools design their programs with reference to
Montessori’s model of human development from her published works, and use
pedagogy, lessons, and materials introduced in teacher training derived from
courses presented by Montessori during her lifetime. |
