Spontaneous Activity In Education

Spontaneous Activity in Education

by Maria Montessori

This book presents the principles of Maria Montessori's educational philosophy and method, which emphasizes the importance of spontaneous activity in children's learning. Montessori believed that children have a natural ability to learn and develop when provided with a supportive environment that allows them to follow their own interests and choose their own activities. She advocated for a child-centered approach to education that respects the individual needs of each child and allows them to learn at their own pace. The book includes examples of Montessori's observations of children in her schools, which illustrate how her methods foster independence, self-motivation, and a love of learning.
