Collaborative Learning in Montessori School

Montessori Education focus on the collaborative learning which means there will be enormous experiments on what you are learning.This type of learning focuses on the practical instead of theory.Collaborative Learning helps students to understand the topic more efficiently and effectively.For example, we are teaching sink and float to the students and for float if we blow bubbles in the air and show them the demo then class will be more interactive and more enjoyable.Same like this we can show the experiment of sink by dipping a iron nail in a bucket of water.Children will love it and this will help them to memorize in future as well.

Collaborative learning is a teaching style that has evolved over the last thirty years and is still evolving.It is a teacher network that shares resources either to be used as they are, or tweaked a little to suit different classrooms or to be an inspiration/a template to develop new resources that we hope you will in turn share with us.

Child exploring his knowledge 

Inside Classroom we must have three aims:

First to develop several available resources that empowers learners by encouraging them to work with every other competitive learner in the class in a playful, but purposeful, way. We should not only nurture emotionally but also by social development and make learners confident in sharing what they know.

Second to make complex ideas easily accessible by presenting them in concrete, visual and tactile forms. By taking abstract thinking out of their heads and putting it on the table. By breaking ideas down and presenting them as case studies with lots of precised detail and related examples. Finally ,by providing scaffolding.

Third to encourage maximum exploratory talk in the classroom. There is tremendous  evidences that talking and thinking work together to develop new meanings. There is also evidence that talk has been neglected in so many classrooms and this has widened the gap in attainment. Talk is good for all learners and vital for small kids learning a new language while they are in process of learning period. Activities like scaffold talk can help teachers plan for the language to support thinking. Also allow learners to move from social language to curriculum/academic talk and from there to confident writing.
