Thanks to her careful observation of the child\u2019s development from the point of view of a doctor and creating an original approach to teaching children, in which education is based on the scientific observation of children, it was possible to create a comprehensive curriculum called the Montessori Method.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the Montessori Method has been used for over 100 years i<strong>n various countries around the world<\/strong>, including United Kingdom. Some critics of the method admit that some of its solutions are old-fashioned and incompatible with the education of the 21st century. However, the method\u2019s promoters point to its universal elements that can be successfully used in modern times.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogImage\" id=\"blogImage-block_62bd527dab15c\">\n    <div class=\"blogImage__wrapper\" >\n        <div class=\"blogImage__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-1-2.png\" class=\"glightbox\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-1-2.png\" alt=\"Children learning and having fun\" class=\"blogImage__imageItem\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-1-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-1-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Untitled-1-2.png 1000w\" >\n                <div class=\"glightbox__zoom\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novakidschool.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/novakid\/public\/img\/icons\/search.svg\" alt=\"Zoom icon\" class=\"style-svg\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_62bd52a8ab15d\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p>The essence of teaching with the Montessori Method is based on the claim that\u00a0<strong>each child is different<\/strong>\u00a0and should develop according to the individual development plans.

The child always takes the most important place, and the basic form of learning is<strong>\u00a0play and individual acquisition of various experiences<\/strong>\u00a0by the child. The Montessori method allows for an orderly transition from play to learning and work elements and vice versa. This method is based on the child\u2019s interests and stimulates child\u2019s curiosity, as well as provides satisfaction. Experts agree that these elements\u00a0<strong>lead the child to success in the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in accordance with the principles advocated by Marta Montessori, upbringing should always take into account the\u00a0<strong>natural laws of development, natural reactions and natural tendencies occurring in the behavior<\/strong>\u00a0of all living creatures. In the Montessori Method, the emphasis is therefore placed on learning and mastering the reality surrounding a person through not only the intellect, but also\u00a0<strong>emotions and instincts<\/strong>. The key point here is that if the upbringing is adapted to the natural development of the child, the child will feel the need to acquire knowledge on their own.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogYoutube\" id=\"blogYoutube-block_62bd52ecab15f\">\n    <div class=\"blogYoutube__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogYoutube__content\">\n            <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"682\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_ktR43Z9UcU\" title=\"8 Principles of Montessori\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n  <section class=\"section blogText\" id=\"blogText-block_62bd52faab160\">\n    <div class=\"blogText__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"blogText__content\">\n            <p>So what are Montessorian children like?

If children work on sizes, they do not deal with colors at the same time, because a different material has been created for that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The principle of transfer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 information, competences, skills learned while working with the material are transferred by the child to the environment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The principle of own action and repetition<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 children develop in accordance with a program determined by they own interests, needs, intellectual and physical abilities.
