Well, understood that parent nowadays are always busy with this and that, ibabiesclub try our best to introduce Montessori Education in very brief way.
Let's check out what is Montessori Education first :
Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori and characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development. Although a range of practices exists under the name "Montessori", the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and the American Montessori Society (AMS) cite these elements as essential:
✎ Mixed age classrooms, with classrooms for children ages 2½ or 3 to 6 years old by far the most common
✎ Student choice of activity from within a prescribed range of options
✎ Uninterrupted blocks of work time, ideally three hours
✎ A constructivist or "discovery" model, where students learn concepts from working with materials, rather than by direct instruction
✎ Specialized educational materials developed by Montessori and her collaborators
✎ Freedom of movement within the classroom
✎ A trained Montessori teacher
Montessori emphasizes learning through all five senses, not just through listening, watching, or reading. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own, individual pace and according to their own choice of activities from hundreds of possibilities. Learning is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning. Montessori classes place children in three-year age groups (3-6, 6-9, 9-12, and so on), forming communities in which the older children spontaneously share their knowledge with the younger ones. Montessori represents an entirely different approach to education.
And, maybe you will ask, CAN i do Montessori at home with my child? Yes, you can use
Montessori principles of child development at home. Look at your home
through your child's eyes. Children need a sense of belonging, and they
get it by participating fully in the routines of everyday life. "Help
me do it by myself" is the life theme of the preschooler. Can you find
ways for your child to participate in meal preparation, cleaning, gardening,
caring for clothes, shoes, and toys? Providing opportunities for independence
is the surest way to build your child's self-esteem.
Keep
your home a home but make it possible for your child to function
independently, to do real home activities, to get involved in cooking,
cleaning, taking care of his own things etc. Do things at his pace when
you can, but also spend your time together having conversations, looking
at books and so on. To
make a home "Montessori" you would look at applying fundamental
principles (order, aesthetics, interest, completeness etc) to everything
you make available for your child - setting up the home in a way that
respects the needs of the child and that promotes interest and activity.
Here are the brief introduction about Montessori Education, and we will introduce some of the education kits and DIY kits to you very soon! :)
认识蒙特梭利教育
蒙特梭利认为：儿童具有巨大的浅能，他生命的发展是走向独立。通过具体的练习如生活基本能力练习、五官感觉练习、智能练习（语言、数学、科学）等形式，形成健全人格的基础。
蒙特梭利博士注意到，儿童生命的最初六年是由他们的吸收性心智所主导。她把这六年的时间跨度分为两个阶段，每一阶段为期三年。她将第一个阶段称为“无意识学习阶段”，第二个阶段称为“有意识的学习阶段”。
在第一个三年，孩子吸收并接受周围环境中所发生的一切。他们吸收从环境中获得的印象，“创造自我”。蒙特梭利博士说，“幼儿不是用他的思维吸收周围环境的一切，而是用他的整个生命。”这个阶段成人的任务不是干扰孩子的行为，而是要为孩子提供一个安全、丰富的环境去发现和探索。
玛利亚蒙特梭利相信孩子有学习的“敏感期”。从出生到六岁，孩子会对他想要掌握的独特内容表现出强烈的兴趣。因此，他会带着浓厚兴趣反复尝试一件“任务”，直到他认为自己完全掌握为止。
傳統幼教的內容大多是教師教唱歌、說故事、玩遊戲。蒙特梭利教學則基於「幼兒有自我教育的天賦」以及「智能可以改變」的發現，因此其教學內容，不但以豐富的教材、教具為媒介，更強調幼兒自發性的自我學習、自我成長。人類的智力建構需由感官著手，進而產生認知，成為智慧。由於感官教育是智能建構的最基礎教育，因此蒙特梭利根據幼兒的感官發展，設計了一套感官教育。其直接目的是培養幼兒敏銳的感官；間接目的則在培養幼兒觀察、比較、判斷的習性和能力。
蒙特梭利的教學內容，以教具的種類來區分，可大致分為五大領域，即日常生活教育、感官教育、語文教育、數學教育、自然人文教育。五大領域的教學，大多透過教具的正確示範，讓兒童親手操作。兒童在重複的練習中與啟導員的協助下，獨自經驗整個學習歷程，建構其心智。
六歲以前的幼兒還沒有認知、辨異的能力，不適合說教的教育。因此蒙特梭利教學反對以教師為中心的填鴨教學，主張由日常生活訓練著手，再配合良好的學習環境、豐富的教具，讓兒童自發性的主動學習，自我教育。
幼兒教育的本質與意義是在幫助幼兒的生命完美成長。因此蒙特梭利極力主張幼兒教育的目的並不是為入小學做準備，而是為他們的一生奠定智慧和品德的基礎，培養終身學習的好習性。
这里只是初步记录一些重点让大家对蒙氏教育有初步的概念。接下来，我们会为大家带来一些教具及一些自制教具的分享。继续锁定我们啦~
