\nThe child who has had the benefit of a Montessori environment is freer at a later age to devote himself more exclusively to the development of his intellectual faculties.\u00a0 The method by which children are taught in the Montessori school might well be called \u201cprogrammed learning\u201d.\u00a0 The structure of Montessori learning involves the use of many materials with which the child may work individually.\u00a0 At every step of his learning, the teaching material is designed to test his understanding and to correct his errors.
\nDr. Montessori recognized that the only valid impulse to learning is the self- motivation of the child.\u00a0 Children move themselves toward learning.\u00a0 The teacher prepares the environment, programs the activity, functions as the reference person and exemplar, and offers the child stimulation; but it is the child who learns, who is motivated through the work itself (not solely by the teacher\u2019s personality) to persist in his chosen task.\u00a0 If the Montessori child is free to learn, it is because he has acquired from his exposure to both physical and mental order an \u201cinner discipline\u201d.\u00a0 This is the core of Dr. Montessori\u2019s educational philosophy.\u00a0 Social adjustment, although a necessary condition for learning in a schoolroom, is not the purpose of education.\u00a0 Patterns of concentration, stick-to-itiveness, and thoroughness established in early childhood produce a confident and competent learner in later years.\u00a0 Schools have existed historically to teach children to observe, to think, to judge.\u00a0 Montessori provides a framework in which intellectual and social discipline go hand-in-hand.
\nThe American Montessori Society has emphasized the importance of Montessori insights for children and adults of all ages.\u00a0 Although children traditionally begin Montessori education at age three, the principals of self-motivated learning apply to all learning experiences.\u00a0 Modern learning research has confirmed the validity of the Montessori principles of programmed learning and the teacher\/directress (who does not distort or inhibit the learning experience).\u00a0 Many public, private, and parochial elementary and secondary schools are now utilizing this approach.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default”
