Difference Between Conventional Education And Montessori Education:
SCHEDULE:
Montessori classrooms, the teachers try as much as possible to avoid interruptions to the workings of the children’s minds. This means that students spend as much time as they need on each activity.
In Conventional classrooms however, there is a schedule and therefore a time is set for each activity even if one child needs more time than another.
ENVIRONMENT:
All Montessori based classrooms are prepared with the knowledge of the needs of each student. They include student-centered lessons and activities.
Conventional classrooms are based on teacher-centered lessons or activities.
ACTIVITY:
Montessori lessons are also extremely active and hands-on, forcing children to solve problems and learn for themselves.
On the other hand, Conventional pre-schools mostly teach in a way which means the students to learn more passively by listening, memorising and repeating information.
TEACHERS:
Montessori teachers aim to guide children through activities, rather than dictate what should or shouldn’t be done that leads to the individual learning path and needs of each child,
Conventional preschool teachers follow a curriculum or a predetermined order of each class instead and therefore set the same tasks for each child regardless of his or her learning capacity.
PACE:
Montessorians respect and even encourage a child to go at their own pace with each activity.
Whereas in Conventional classrooms, it is often expected that all children will complete each activity at the same pace, or stop doing it if not finished within the time allocated.
SELF ESTEEM:
In the Montessori classroom, teachers aim to help children to foster good self-esteem by understanding that they will only gain this kind of pride through their own accomplishments.
Conventional preschools seem to focus more on external validation through praise from teachers or tests.
ATTITUDE:
The attitude towards learning differs greatly too. The Montessori curriculum is designed to nurture a passion for learning from the student, wherein they teach themselves to love learning itself.
Conventional schools have a curriculum which is all based around standardised testing processes and performance levels.
BASIS:
Dr. Maria Montessori created the alternative educational method after thoroughly studying the ways children learn most effectively.
Conventional education has shown little progress and is based on a structure which has always been a certain way.
