The Theory of Montessori and Direction of Child Education

To this modern society, the contents of education has changed a lot if it was positive or negative. Although education theory to children also has improved in the position of them, those who cannot assimilate themselves to school education are increasing. The severest victims of educational field with the trial and error are juveniles, especially children. Montessori education theory also could not be free from those problems. Good education does not come from a good theory or a method, but from inner philosophy and faith of education. Montessori thought human beings as interdependent on nature in both the physical and mental aspects. This spontaneously made us interested in protecting nature by education. Another aspect that Montessori education influenced to these days, was concerning the importance of family. It included parents in school lives of children, and made the parents play the right role in their families by education for parents. The final aim of Montessori education philosophy is helping children to show their potential as much as possible by observing them. One thing surprising is that activities the children chose by themselves can be concentrated. A child who had more opportunities to concentrate can be more generous and kind to other children for he or she feel satisfied and comfort. Expressed intelligence or creativity often turns out to be the result of other activities. Desirable education develops the possibility inside children as much as possible, the meaning of Montessori education theory occupies an important position at that point.
