Good evening

Dear tutor and classmates

Kant

I think that Kant’s philosophy of education, the interpretation of questions as


instruments of the education and cognition systems is determined by his approach to
logic. As a tool for analysis and a model for reasoning suitable for any intellectual
sphere, including the education system, logic is omnipresent in Kant’s deliberations.
Sometimes he speaks of logic explicitly and sometimes one has to ‘read into him’.
‘Reading into Kant’ can be accomplished by a comparison of Kant’s major texts on
logic with the other texts of the philosopher. Kant’s lectures on logic can be used to
identify his logical ideas.

Kant says that the most important part of education is ethical education, And introduces
the most original goal of ethical education in manner formation , that constant desire
attitude is the following of some principles that itself encounter himself with wisdom
helping . In other word manner is inner discipline that child should be directed in this
direction. he says free human developing and his leading to willfulness that is the
highest step of ethical education is dependent on manner formation. Ethical education
is a kind of education that develops free human beings[ CITATION Kan \l 12298 ]

Montessori

However , The Montessori pedagogy is based on a child-centered vision of education,


where social, emotional, physical and intellectual development is equally important. An
education like this reaches further than preparing children to adapt to norms, or to be
suitable for a specific occupation

Eventhough , The Montessori method sees human development as a process. Seeks


the development of personality. Focuses on the whole child: on the development of the
“whole child”, emotionally, physically, socially and academically.

Montessori Pedagogy is based on obeservations and discovery of Maria Montessori.


After many hours of observing them she prepared activities that help every child in their
development. She discovered that if children work in a carefully prepared environment,
they are more concentrated and have better self-control.

To understand the curriculum let's see the details of the environment. The room is
usually spacious. There are low open shelves, tables of various sizes by which one to
four children can comfortably sit. Traditional montessori classes are mixed of at least
three different age groups.
The class is usually divied into areas with shelves. Every area contains »materials«.
This is the montessori term for didactic tools for a certain  area of the curriculum (art,
math, language, etc.) Materials have their own permanent place on shelves. Children
always return them to the same place, where they are prepared for another child. We
nurture the sensibility for the group and respect for needs of other

Montessori pedagogy believes there are certain periods during which children are more
ready to learn certain skills. These are known as sensitive periods, and last only as
long as is necessary for the child to acquire the skills. The order in which sensitive
periods occur (i.e. a sensitive period for writing) as well as the timing of the period
varies for each child. Through observation, Montessori teachers must identify sensitive
periods in their students and provide the resources for children to flourish during this
time.[ CITATION Ped \l 12298 ]

Besides, Rousseau establishes for the first time the learning times, adjusted to the
ages of the student and emphasizes that where the child best learns to know men is in
history. The teacher must teach realities and only realities. The great postulates of his
pedagogical theory are still valid.
Rousseau's main postulates are:
Education should focus more on the child and less on the adult.
It is important to stimulate the desire to learn.
The education of the child begins from its birth and it must be prevented from acquiring
habits to which it could become a slave.
The pedagogy developed by Jean-Jaques Rousseau proposes and describes an
educational system that considers the natural evolution of the child and of man as a
way to adapt and improve society.[ CITATION inf \l 12298 ]

Rousseau’s theory of education emphasized the importance of expression to produce a


well-balanced, freethinking child.  He believed that if children are allowed to develop
naturally without constraints imposed on them by society they will develop towards their
fullest potential, both educationally and morally.  This natural development should be
child-centered and focused on the needs and experiences of the child at each stage of
development.

Rousseau is known as the father of early childhood education.  As a result of his


educational viewpoint, early childhood education emerged as a child-centered entity
rich in unlimited, sensory-driven, practical experiences.  Active participation in drawing,
measuring, speaking, and singing also emerged as a result of Rousseau’s educational
viewpoint.  Today, many elements of Rousseau’s educational principles remain as a
dominant force in early childhood education.
