What is Montessori? How to study? 🤎🌱

Montessori is an educational approach that believes that "every child has potential in himself" and can learn best when he has taken action, and chooses what interests himself.

Montessori's heart is not to teach children to "excel fast," but to form the basis for children to "love learning" and understand themselves in the long run.

✨ Montessori's keystone.

Children are the center of learning.

Hands-on experience

The teacher acts as a "leader," observing and advising.

Respect each person's differences and learning rhythms.

📚 How do children study? In Montessori, children do not listen to the teacher in front of the room, but "choose work" or activities themselves from a device specifically designed to learn step by step.

Main activities such as

🧺 Practical Life: Practice Daily Life, such as Rin Water, Button Up, Folding Fabric → Enhance Concentration and Order

🔢 Math: Learn math through tangible devices → Understand real "quantities," not just memorization.

🔤 Language: Learn Language Through Image, Sound and Touch

🌍 Cultural: Learn the World, Nature, and All Around

💡 Highlights that parents often observe.

Children concentrate longer.

Help yourself better.

Dare to think, dare to try and have confidence.

Self-discipline. Without force.

🌱 What Montessori gives more than knowledge is an "attitude" towards learning.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ที่ได้ติดตามและเห็นเด็กๆ เรียนรู้ตามวิธี Montessori จะเห็นได้ชัดว่าเด็กมีอิสระในการเลือกกิจกรรมที่สนใจภายใต้การดูแลและแนะนำของคุณครู โดยกิจกรรมต่างๆ จะถูกออกแบบให้เด็กลงมือทำจริง เช่น การรินน้ำ การนับจำนวน ด้วยอุปกรณ์จับต้องได้ที่ช่วยสร้างความเข้าใจลึกซึ้ง ไม่ใช่แค่ท่องจำ ทำให้เด็กมีสมาธิและความมั่นใจในการเรียนรู้มากขึ้น นอกจากนี้ Montessori ยังช่วยให้เด็กฝึกฝนทักษะชีวิตประจำวันที่สำคัญ ทั้งการช่วยเหลือตัวเองและมีวินัยโดยไม่ต้องถูกบังคับ ประสบการณ์นี้ทำให้เห็นว่าแนวทางนี้ไม่เน้นแข่งขันหรือสอบคะแนน แต่จะเน้นการเติบโตอย่างมั่นคง เหมาะสำหรับพ่อแม่ที่ต้องการให้ลูกมีทัศนคติที่ดีต่อการเรียนรู้ตลอดชีวิต สิ่งที่น่าสนใจจาก OCR ภาพประกอบในบทความคือการประเมินพัฒนาการ EF (Executive Function) ที่ช่วยให้พ่อแม่รู้ว่าลูกได้พัฒนาสกิลด้านใดบ้าง เช่น การเรียงลำดับ การจับคู่ ตัวเลข จึงมั่นใจได้ว่าการเรียนการสอน Montessori มีความเชื่อมโยงกับพัฒนาการสมองและทักษะที่จำเป็นในชีวิตจริงอย่างแท้จริง

Before we started our Ancient History study there were some important lessons that we needed to study to understand what history is. In Montessori we always want to make sure children understand the concrete, what is time, before we begin to study the abstract, what happened throughout history.
