In our daily life, the first thing we come into contact with is not the cognitive education we usually attach importance to, but different facial stimuli. Children know things through feelings, so in the whole development period of children, we should pay attention to his feelings and match words with his inner feelings when he feels feelings. For example, children chew towels and combs, and we have to tell them that this is a soft and hard concept.
In Montessori's sensory education, Montessori designed many Montessori teaching AIDS, and Montessori education is to use these teaching AIDS to bring sensory stimulation to children, so as to carry out sensory education and enrich children's understanding of the world. Sensory education can help children achieve the following goals: 1, understand physical properties; 2. Develop sensory perception; 3. Help to form a concept; 4. Establish the foundation of logical thinking ability; 5. The direct purpose of cultivating hand-eye coordination, concentration, independence and sense of order. Therefore, I personally think that Montessori's educational concept of sensory education is still very worthy of recognition and promotion.
Next, several Montessori teaching AIDS are introduced from the five senses.
(1) visual education. Know the size, thickness, length, height, fat, color, shape, etc. Educational target. Typical religions are pink towers, brown ladders and so on.
(2) tactile education. Know the heat, temperature, cold or ice of things, the thickness and texture of things, the weight of things, the size, hardness, roughness and shape of things. Typical teaching includes temperature sensing board, weight board, mystery bag, etc.
(3) Hearing education. Distinguish the strength, height and type of sound (timbre of music). Typical teaching includes timbre tube, sound sensitive clock and so on.
(4) Taste education. Distinguish the taste with your tongue. A typical teacher has a tasting bottle.
(5) Olfactory education. Distinguish between perfume, spicy, coffee, herbal tea and other special tastes. Typical teaching has an odor bottle.
There are several points to pay attention to when using teaching AIDS in sensory education. First of all, the language should be simple, and don't add too many personal experiences and feelings, lest children see things in our way. Secondly, the use of teaching AIDS should be from simple to difficult, so that children can be familiar with the basic demonstration before they can enter the extended change. Finally, all the work of learning names needs to be included in the three-stage teaching method. The so-called three-stage teaching method is naming, distinguishing and pronouncing to ensure that children fully understand.
Share a little more here. The difference between Montessori teaching AIDS and other common teaching AIDS is that Montessori teaching AIDS have the characteristics of self-correction. The teaching aid itself contains the characteristics of automatic education, in order to provide children with their own judgment and correct their wrong minds, and to achieve the design of education. For example, the size between the cylinder and the wooden pillow hole should be just right. The smallest piece of the powder tower and the shortest one of the long sticks are all signs of this feature.
Montessori attached great importance to the cultivation of sensory ability, so he designed many teaching AIDS to train the senses. Never think that with a complete set of Montessori teaching AIDS, the purpose of Montessori education can be achieved. What is important is how to cooperate with the spirit of Montessori education, help children to pursue the answers to education and life through their own experiences, and help children better understand the world, thus making teaching more creative.
