1, spontaneous intelligence
The reason why people have the desire to learn is driven by innate intelligence, that is, children have an impulse to pursue knowledge and development persistently. That is the motive force that happens internally, which is manifested through personality choice and action.
If children are keen on doing something, most of them will unconsciously carry out the work of "analyzing, comparing, combining and collecting". This inner impulse, if it is not started by education, will delay and stifle the huge energy that exists in the child itself.
2. People's creativity
Human beings are born in an immature state, and later they have to work hard to create their own jobs, so human beings are not only creative, but also constantly exert their creativity.
In fact, this can be said to be a kind of nature of human beings. For human beings, creation is innate. Montessori believes that the constant harmony of hand activities and language can eventually cultivate children's own personality, and personality can exert various creative abilities in the process of growth.
3, make people become people
Montessori education is to make people become people. The first person is a newly born biological person; The second person is a human being, and being a man is educated, educated and individual. This is the meaning of Montessori education, that is, the formation of personality can make a real person.
Step 4 set children free
We should set children free, encourage them to express themselves spontaneously, and then observe them. The so-called freedom for children here does not mean indulgence. To put it simply, the meaning of freedom is activity, allowing children to freely choose objects and pay attention to the degree of work.
Adults should observe those activities and identify which behaviors of children should be prohibited, such as willfulness, irrationality, violence, disturbing order and obstructing group activities, which should be strictly prohibited and gradually eradicated.
5. Help children develop themselves.
Adults educate their children to help them develop themselves, not to help them. In traditional education, adults are constantly teaching children how to do it, and children obey.
Then, Montessori education is to let children develop their life potential through their own practical activities and develop all aspects of themselves, including the cultivation of personality. This is the true meaning of education.
Educational concept 6. A prepared environment
Montessori believes that the environment is alive, which is prepared by adults' clear understanding of children's mission. This environment contains all the positive meanings that children need to grow up, and at the same time, it is necessary to exclude all things that are not conducive to children's growth.
Characteristics of Montessori s educational thought;
1, child-oriented: create a child-centered world for children and make them their own "children's world".
2. Provide adequate teaching AIDS: Children learn by senses, and the more good stimuli provided by kindergartens, the more they can stimulate their inner potential. Montessori classroom provides children with rich teaching materials and teaching AIDS (including natural and humanistic ...) to arouse their interest in autonomous learning.
3. "No education": Oppose the traditional teacher-centered cramming education, and advocate providing a good learning environment and bright and rich teaching AIDS, so that children can actively contact, learn and form wisdom.
4. Grasp the sensitive period of learning: Children aged 0-6 will have preferences for different things at different stages of growth, which is the so-called "sensitive period" of children. Montessori pre-school education law emphasizes mastering the "sensitive period" of children and giving them appropriate guidance.
5. Teachers are in the position of assistance and inspiration: teachers must give up the traditional self-righteous education methods, but give timely help and guidance to children, so that children can become the main body of education, use their brains and tap their potential.
