The Montessori education system she founded had a great influence on the world. Today, Montessori schools named after her are all over the world 1 10 countries and regions. Britain's Prince William and Prince Harry, former US President Bill Clinton and the world's richest man Bill Gates all received Montessori education in their childhood.
How to understand Montessori's educational thought?
As it says:
"Never help a child complete a task.
Where he thinks he can succeed. "
If the child thinks
It's something he can do by himself,
Never help him do it.
When a child over two years old wants to drink the water in the bottle, through guidance, help the child unscrew the bottle cap a little, and then let the child try to unscrew it, instead of directly helping the child unscrew it or feeding it to the child. Because when the child unscrews the bottle cap to drink water, the child will be filled with incomparable joy and satisfaction with the activities he has completed.
Montessori emphasized that adults should be good at observing children's behaviors and actions and pay attention to the development of children's psychological growth. Only when children really can't do it and ask for help can they be given timely help. Therefore, Montessori parenting law is also called.
"life assistance"
"life assistance"
Montessori believes that children are the creators of human beings. Education must be child-centered, recognize children's rights and meet their needs. Therefore, Montessori tried his best to create an unconstrained environment for children.
▲ 1950, Montessori had a cordial conversation with a little English girl before giving a speech for the BBC station in Italy.
In the "Children's Home" hosted by her, the teacher has no desk, no authority and almost no teaching; Children are the center of activities and can walk freely and choose their own jobs; Miniature furniture, small tables, small armchairs and window sills are all specially designed for children. Children can easily open the cupboard and use all kinds of things at will. Montessori conducted systematic educational experiments there, formulated a series of teaching materials, teaching AIDS and teaching methods, and gradually established a world-famous Montessori education system.
■ Montessori Education Practice of Golden Apple
Golden Apple's new "Children's Home" has created a rich and prepared environment for children, giving them every inch of land and every corner. Montessori believes that "children are the main body, adults are the guides, and the environment is the influence". These kindergartens, which integrate architectural art, humanistic care and educational environment, are not beautiful, orderly and natural children's homes advocated by Dr. maria montessori, and are deeply loved by children?
For more than 20 years, Golden Apple has been practicing the exploration and practice of Mongolian education and established Montessori Studio. More and more kindergartens and teachers are involved in the research on the concepts and methods of Mongolian education, so that our children can benefit from it.
Nowadays, how do children grow up in the new "Children's Home" of golden apples?
Case 1: Wonderful "Montessori Line"
Sharer: Pan, teacher of Tigger class.
Montessori believes that every child has innate potential, and the task of education is to make every child's potential develop in a suitable environment. In her view, the school should be a "prepared environment", supporting children to act according to their own internal needs, development speed and rhythm, and finally grow into a person who shows a series of excellent qualities and amazing wisdom.
Environment is an important educational resource, and children are eternal learners. They absorb all kinds of information from the surrounding environment, and interact with the environment purposefully and freely, constantly growing and changing. Based on this understanding, Golden Apple attaches great importance to creating an environment full of freedom, love, nutrition, happiness and convenience for children-
In Montessori classroom, we often see an oval circle on the ground, which is the "Montessori line". Montessori believes that children's walking practice and hand operation are closely related to the development of intelligence. In order to make children achieve the goal of coordinated and balanced body movements, she specially designed a "walking line". The "thread-walking" work can also help children talk to their bodies quietly and intently, calm their emotions and strengthen their attention. At the same time, they can learn to keep a polite distance from others.
At first, I led the children to wait in line at the door of the classroom, and then asked them to put their hands on their hips or sides, look forward and walk naturally on the line.
But after less than half a lap, some children began to talk and laugh, pushing and squeezing, and some children began to twist with the rhythm of music. So I quickly stopped the "walking" activity, let the children sit around the line and began to discuss.
"When the teacher saw the babies walking just now, some of them walked very fast. What do you think will happen if they walk too fast? " (will bump into others)
"What will happen if you stop on the line?" (The children in the back can't walk) ...
After "impromptu discussion" with the children, we reached an agreement and initially agreed on the line-walking activities. After a week's practice, the children gradually understand the methods and rules of threading, and have obvious changes: in the process of threading, they gradually become quiet, their free eyes gradually focus, and their breathing becomes even and soothing with the music, making full preparations for the next "work".
