On Saturday, I participated in Montessori education and training for children organized by Liudaohe School District Central School. This is my first official contact with Montessori teaching. Through this contact, I felt deeply and gained a lot.
Through this training, I learned that Montessori education includes daily life education, sensory education, mathematics education and language education. Montessori education has special teaching AIDS and methods to enable babies to complete their learning in these knowledge fields in happy games. Montessori teaching fully embodies children's autonomy, allowing children to get their own answers in the process of doing it themselves and understand the answers in the process of doing it, and finally achieve the ultimate goal of concentration, independence, order and coordination. This semester, I'm going to try to know the numbers within 10 with playing cards, such as reciprocal, ordinal number, number size and so on. Let children fully practice and use their brains, and at the same time promote the development of various abilities.
Montessori's teaching materials are rich and safe, and combined with daily life, so that children can do their favorite work seriously. Some of them play fishing, some play listening pipes, find graphics and make bubbles. The child is so devoted and happy. What impressed me most was the operation of teaching AIDS in the school district. Fishing activities, let children learn knowledge while playing.
Montessori's Experience in Education and Training
The essence of Montessori education is love and respect. Love is the core of education, and love is the foundation of educational success. Montessori's education is to amplify the advantages of children. Only by loving children can we see their advantages and educate them well. We Montessori teachers should use encouraging language to meet the needs of children's emotional love; Satisfy the needs of children's emotional love with an approving smile; Meet the needs of children's emotional love with a kind hug.
The core experience of Montessori's successful education is "Education follows children". Our education is not static. We should make and change our teaching at any time according to the laws of children's psychological and physical development.
I have just come into contact with Montessori education, and my understanding and study are not very in-depth and thorough. Through this study, I will make the following simple exchanges on my personal experience and understanding:
1, crying in the park. I have solved this problem with topang. I really don't understand why the children cried as soon as they entered the park. Now I understand that this is because children are between two and a half and three years old and are in a sensitive period of order. When his environment changes, it will destroy his original order, so the child will have separation anxiety. When a child establishes a new order, he won't cry any more, so in the meantime, we add some familiar signs, such as our own photos, to help the child establish a new order as soon as possible.
2. Gesture problem. Before, I simply imitated and learned the gestures in Montessori teaching, afraid of any mistakes, and then tried to make the same appearance as I had learned before when demonstrating to my children. Now I understand that gestures are a language of communication and a way for teachers to convey their thoughts, concepts, eye movements and other things that cannot be expressed by gestures and simple body movements to children.
3. Language problems. Before, I thought that Montessori teaching should be as language-free as possible, but now I know that my understanding is superficial. Montessori only requires teachers to be concise and accurate when operating Montessori, and try to use shorter words or words. Moreover, when teaching Montessori mathematics, language guidance is essential and necessary.
