1, with different purposes.
Montessori teaching AIDS are placed in the prepared studio, which has strict rules of use and specific educational significance. It can help children grow up naturally, construct their minds, realize systematic sensory training, promote the coordinated development of muscle function, enable children to obtain spiritual nutrition in the process of operation, realize independent education and develop individual potential.
Toys are designed to cater to children's preferences and have no educational significance. Children can play at will. Therefore, toys do not have the function of cultivating children's concentration, willpower and discipline, nor can they inspire children's mental development.
2. Different forms
Montessori teaching AIDS mostly come from things that children are familiar with in life. Whether it is material or modeling, it can give children a sense of reality and intimacy, and let them feel the boundaries and perfection of nature. The size design of teaching AIDS is suitable for children and fully respects the characteristics and process of children's physical and mental development.
Toys mainly imitate reality, and their materials, sizes and objects are far from each other. There is no uniform standard for design, and their colors and shapes are mixed. Especially with the application of modern science and technology, some electric toys, games and cartoons incorporate special effects such as light, electricity and sound, which are not suitable for children, making children dazzled, unrestrained and distracted.
3. Different characteristics
The design of Montessori teaching AIDS is based on adapting to children's sensitive period, fully considering the applicable age and scope, which is hierarchical and logical, allowing children to realize their potential development independently in the operation process and achieve the development goal step by step. At the same time, there is an obvious transition between similar teaching AIDS, which is very systematic. Only when children master the operation of teaching AIDS in the previous stage can they enter the next stage.
The toy itself is not systematic, and the operation method is relatively casual and simple. It is impossible to give children systematic training, and it is difficult to help them develop their intelligence steadily and realize self-construction.
4, the effect is different
Montessori teaching has the function of "error control", which allows children to find their own mistakes and correct them in the process of operation, without the endless guidance and care of adults, thus ensuring the smooth progress of children's independent education and stimulating their concentration to the greatest extent.
Toys have no "error control" function, and there are generally no standardized operation steps to follow. Children can only rely on imagination. However, this kind of imagination caused by toys is chaotic and has no clear educational purpose, so the effect cannot be shown. At the same time, children can use or discard toys at will, which is not conducive to cultivating children's sense of responsibility and discipline for the surrounding environment.
