CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Montessori stressed that children learn best by using their senses and pursuing their interests, rather than forcing them to learn what is expected. Children have innate skills and talents. There are sensitive periods which indicate when the child is ready to learn.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Montessori method suggests that children learn best in an environment that has been prepared to enable them to do things for themselves. Always child-centred, the learning environment should promote freedom for children to explore materials of their choice.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dr Maria Montessori believed that our intellect and knowledge of the world have their beginnings in the senses. As human beings we are all sensorial – absorbing our knowledge about the world through seeing, hearing, touching, smelling and tasting what’s around us.

Detailed explanation-4: -Children learn best through exploring new concepts hands-on. Montessori schools encourage students to touch, feel, and do as they learn new ideas rather than just sitting at desks and listening to a teacher.
