When you think about school, you are probably thinking about the elementary school years you spent sitting at your desk and listening to your teacher most of the day. While this school method is still the most popular to date, another lesser-known school method is becoming increasingly popular among parents and educators. The Montessori school method has become very popular in recent years. However, this type of school uses a method very different from the conservative one, and its application is, therefore, still somewhat controversial.
Dr. Maria Montessori was a professor of anthropology in Rome in the early twentieth century. Maria Montessori was heavily influenced by Friedrich Froebel, who invented the nursery school, and Johann Henrich Pestalozzi, and firmly believed that children learned through activities. He invented a new philosophy on raising children. Maria Montessori's philosophy and methodology teach that children learn more in a stimulating environment. According to her philosophy, a teacher is more of a "keeper of the environment" and helps to create one that facilitates the self-guided learning process for children.
Today many teachers and parents strongly follow this type of education, as evidenced by the growing number of Montessori schools in the world.
What are the differences between Montessori schools and traditional schools?
In traditional classrooms, children with children of the same age are grouped together and follow exactly the same lessons, participate in the same activities and work.
Montessori classrooms are very different. Typically, a Montessori classroom is designed for children of different ages and follows an open concept style with different work areas. Lessons are generally held in small groups of children, while other children work or study alone. This concept allows children to expand their individual and social development.
In a traditional school, the teacher acts as the one who provides all the information offered by the school and mainly uses books and a rigorous methodology. In a Montessori school, the teacher acts as a guide and often mixes conventional teaching aids, but also other materials such as stories and objects. In Montessori schools, students often take responsibility for planning their work and time.
Montessori students - strong artists
While many parents firmly believe in the Montessori method, this school method is still quite unknown and often controversial. However, it has been shown by psychologists in the United States that the children of the Montessori schools not only received an excellent education but, in some areas, even exceeded the children who attended traditional schools. Furthermore, students attending Montessori schools seemed to outperform others when it came to social skills and behaviors.
