Montessori pedagogy

Ovaj rad ima za cilj dati prikaz o Montessori pedagogiji, a ona se definira kao alternativna pedagogija koja nastoji osamostaliti dijete te ga postavlja u primarni plan. U radu se navode glavna Montessori načela koja predstavljaju glavne pravce, čimbenike i metode za razvoj i širenje prethodno definirane pedagogije. Značajna načela koja navodi osnivačica teorije Maria Montessori su: poštovanje djeteta, osposobljavanje kretanja i osjetila, kako mišići pamte, polarizacija pažnje, slobodan izbor, pripremljena okolina, rad s materijalom, uloga odgojitelja i glavno načelo pedagogije Pomozi mi da to uradim sam. Također, u radu se ističu elementi koji čine Montessori metodu aktivnom i stvarnom, a to su: dijete i njegov razvoj, pripremljena okolina te uloga odgojitelja. Naime, opisuju se pojedina razdoblja tijekom kojeg se dijete razvija i izrasta te njegovo opažanje i djelovanje u okolini. U drugom dijelu rada govori se o važnosti djetetove okoline koja se treba kvalitetno i dobro opskrbiti i nadopuni kako bi dijete moglo samostalno i pažljivo učiti i razvijati se. Dijete se razvija i samostalno uči u pripremljenoj okolini uz pomoć odgojitelja koji je uvijek nazočan i aktivan. U radu se naglašava uloga odgojitelja, koja je općenito značajna u životu djeteta za njegov razvoj i učenje, a posebno u Montessori pedagogiji dodjeljuje značaj zato što je odgojitelj usmjerivač i pruža indirektnu pomoć. Montessori odgojitelji su važni u razvoju samostalnosti djeteta te imaju ulogu da opažaju razvoj i kvalitetno pripreme okolinu unutar koje se razvija samoučenje i samodjelovanje.This paper aims to give an account of Montessori pedagogy and it is defined as an alternative pedagogy that seeks to independent the child and places it in the primary plan.
