Educational idea

1, child-centered. Oppose the adult-centered education concept and regard children as independent individuals different from adults.

2. The principle of not teaching. Before the age of six, children gradually build up their cognitive and discriminating abilities, taking thinking in images as the main way of thinking, which is not suitable for didactic education. Montessori starts with daily training, with a good learning environment, rich teaching AIDS and teaching materials, so that children can learn spontaneously and actively, thus achieving the goal of self-education.

3. Grasp the sensitive period of children. As children grow up, there will be a feature that they only focus on one thing in the environment for a certain period of time and refuse to accept other things. If you provide special help at this time, you will get the best learning effect.

4. Teachers exist as a part of the environment and play an auxiliary and guiding role. The teacher's job is to observe children's inner needs, design the environment, and demonstrate the accurate operation of teaching AIDS, and then teach according to children's individual differences and give timely guidance. This kind of education without teaching and without class can make the relationship between teachers and students harmonious and children can learn happily.
