Unlike traditional education, Montessori
education is based on the child's developmental needs for freedom within
limits, it is a carefully prepared environment which guarantees exposure
to materials and experiences. It is designed to take full advantage
of the child's desire to learn and their unique ability to develop their
own capabilities.
The child needs adults to expose him to the possibilities of his life,
but the child will determine his response to those possibilities. Montessori
children are usually adaptable. They learn to work independently
and in groups. Since they've been encouraged to make decisions from
an early age, these children are problem-solvers who can make appropriate
choices and manage their time well.They have been encouraged to exchange ideas and discuss their work freely with others. Their good communication skills ease the way in new settings. Some Comparisons of Montessori with Traditional Education
Research has shown that the best predictor of the future success is a positive sense of self-esteem. Montessori programs, based on self-directed, non-competitive activities, help children develop strong self-images and the confidence to face challenges and change with optimism. | Montessori Reference Tools and Sites | |
