Understanding of Montessori Education
Understanding of Montessori education is as follows:

1. Pay attention to children's inner needs and interests: Montessori believes that every child has his own inner needs and interests, which is the basis for their growth and development. Therefore, in Montessori education, teachers need to respect these needs and interests of children and try their best to meet them.

2. Providing a prepared environment: Montessori education emphasizes providing a prepared environment for children, which should include teaching AIDS and materials suitable for children's age and development level, as well as a safe, comfortable and orderly learning environment. This environment should be able to stimulate children's interest and curiosity and encourage them to explore, discover and learn.

3. Self-study and attach importance to the senses: In Montessori education, encourage children to learn and develop themselves. The role of teachers is to provide guidance and help, not to impart knowledge directly. Children can choose their own activities and learning contents according to their own rhythm and interests. Montessori believes that the cultivation of sensory and thinking ability is an important aspect of children's development.

Montessori's life background

1. Family background and educational background: Montessori was born in a relatively wealthy middle-class family. Her parents are both intellectuals and attach great importance to her education. Her mother is a strict housewife, which has a far-reaching impact on Montessori's growth. Montessori received a traditional education when he was young, including studying literature, mathematics, science and other subjects.

2. Career background: Montessori's career development can be traced back to her being the principal of an Italian primary school. She began to pay attention to children's education and growth, and gradually formed her own educational ideas and methods. She believes that children should develop their personalities and abilities in a free and orderly environment, which laid the foundation for her later educational thoughts.

3. Establishing Montessori education law: Montessori established Montessori education law through continuous practice and exploration. She believes that children have the ability of self-development and learning, and they can explore and learn freely as long as they provide appropriate environment and teaching AIDS. Her education method emphasizes children's initiative and self-guidance ability, rather than the traditional teacher-centered education method.
