Montessori Program

The Montessori teaching method was pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907. It is a special child-centered education method, which is composed of the basic concept of "child-led" activities and teachers whose main job is to encourage students' independence. The following are the advantages of Montessori education:

1. There are steps and sequences for each teaching aid to be used individually and jointly. And regardless of design or usage, they range from simple to complex. Their main purpose is to increase or decrease to train children to understand the steps, value order, and indirectly cultivate their "inner discipline."

2. Montessori teaching aids do not use colorful colors, but mainly simple and clean tones. Because it has educational significance, it is usually monochromatic to highlight the true educational goal, which is to have an isolated character. For example: All ten pieces of wood in the Pink Tower are pink.

3. In terms of design, it has the characteristics of error control, which allows children to discover errors by themselves and correct them by themselves. For example, the pink tower has ten pieces, the smallest piece is a one-centimeter square cube, and the largest piece is a ten-centimeter square cube. , so the difference between the largest block and the next largest block is exactly one centimeter. After building the tower, the child can pick up the smallest piece and measure the gap between the pieces. He will find that they are exactly one centimeter.

4. Since the most important goal of teaching aids is to meet the inner needs of children, the size and dimensions are only based on children's abilities. For example, children can move the largest piece of the pink tower.

5. Each teaching aid has factors that can attract children, such as the weight and color of the pink tower wood; or the rustling sound of beans when they are spooned.

6. Cultivate children's logical habits and reasoning abilities through steps and order.

7. The design of teaching aids is mainly to provide one person with the ability to operate.

8. Every teaching aid has direct and indirect educational purposes.

蒙特梭利教学法是在1907年由玛利亚蒙特梭利博士开创的。它是一种特殊的以儿童为中心的教育方法，它是由“以孩子为主导”的活动，和工作职责主要是鼓励学生独立性的老师这个基本理念所构成。以下是蒙特梭利教育的优点

1. 每项教具的单独和联合使用，都有步骤和顺序。而且不管在设计上或者在使用方法上，都是由简单到复杂，其主要目的是增减培养孩子了解步骤，重视秩序，并间接地培养其“内在纪律”。

2. 蒙氏教具不选用五彩杂陈的色泽，以朴实、干净的色调为主。因为它具有教育意义，所以通常用单色调，突显真正的教育目标，也就是具孤立的特性。例如：粉红塔的十块木头全部都是粉红色。

3. 在设计上，具有控制错误的特性，可以使小朋友自行发现错误、而能自行改正，例如：粉红塔有十块，最小的一块是一公分的正立方块，最大的一块为十分公分的正立方体，所以最大块与次大块刚好差一公分。在堆完塔后小朋友可以拿起最小的那块，量一量各块之间的差距，他会发现恰好都是一公分。

4. 由于教具的最重要目标，是为符合儿童的内在需要，所以在大小、尺寸上，只以儿童的能力为考虑范围，例如：粉红塔最大的一块，孩子也可以搬得动。

5. 每项教具都有能够吸引小孩子的因素，例如粉红塔木头的重量、颜色;或者勺豆子时，豆子沙沙的声音。

6. 由步骤、秩序中培养孩子的逻辑习性和推理的能力。

7. 教具的设计，以供给一个人操作为主要考虑目标。

8. 每样教具都具有直接与间接的教育目的。
