Do children in Montessori classrooms do whatever they want? In this video, we explore how freedom of choice in the Montessori environment enhances intrinsic motivation and maximizes children’s learning experience. Discover how play becomes work and how children develop a deep understanding of the world through their own exploration.
💡 Key Points:
ℹ️ The game is the child’s work. Research shows that through play, children discover how the world works. This is achieved through their own exploration and interaction with the environment.
ℹ️ Freedom of choice is a key element of the Montessori method. Allowing children to choose what they want to do maximizes the depth and breadth of their learning experience.
ℹ️ Development of internal motivation. This freedom of choice allows the development of internal motivation, which is one of the keys to success in education.
