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 ]
