1, the children also have the same view.

The commonness of Montessori and Rousseau's educational thoughts lies in their views on children, and they both advocate respecting children.

The purpose of education is the same.

They also have something in common in educational purposes. Rousseau's educational purpose is to cultivate "natural person"; Montessori believes that the purpose of education is to develop children's "life rules" and promote their all-round development on the basis of understanding children.

Second, differences: different educational principles

Rousseau: A necessary prerequisite for Rousseau's natural education is to change children's views. People should not treat children as disciplined slaves, nor as shrinking adults, but as adults and children.

Montessori: Montessori advocates not blindly restricting children's freedom of movement, and preparing the environment for children's freedom of movement as much as possible (Children's Home and Montessori teaching AIDS). This environment needs to support children's free exploration and development, nourish children's curiosity, form positive personality traits, and give children a basic framework concept and foundation for future learning.

Extended data

Montessori's primary teaching method;

In order to promote the normal development of children's physiology and make them skilled in daily life, Montessori attaches great importance to children's muscle exercise. In addition to letting children sit, get up, walk, dress, undress, take things and take care of animals and plants, she also invented various electrical appliances, such as spiral ladders and rocking chairs, to help children train, and even compiled gymnastics and even breathing, lips and tongue.

Combined with sensory training, children should be educated in reading, writing, arithmetic and music in advance. At the same time, develop children's language ability through conversation.

Help children master the abstract concept of "quantity" through specially designed teaching aid operation flow and mathematics teaching aid.

Through a large number of language activities and teaching AIDS, help children master basic writing and reading skills and increase their oral expression ability.

Sensory training occupies the most important position in Montessori's educational system and is also the main part of her educational experiment. The book Montessori Method discusses sensory education in the space of 1/4.
