I admire Maria Montessori

I admire Maria Montessori who was originator of the Montessori method of education for preschool children. She was the first woman to receive a medical degree in Italy. I think that she was the great woman because at that time, It was hard for women to have right to learn at university. She worked with subnormal children as a psychiatrist at the University of Rome. It was there that she pioneered in the instruction of retarded children, especially through the use of an environment rich in manipulative materials. She thought that this method could be made in the education of normal preschool children. The chief components of the Montessori method are self-motivation and auto-education. This method is also very useful and meaningful at the present. After I was interested in education, I thought that education was very important for society and individual. And then I accidentally knew method of her in a book. That was extremely exciting method. She must have thought that a child will learn naturally and the teacher acts as an observer and only interferes as needed. I also agree the surprising method. She tried to reverse the traditional education system and for ages the Montessori method has been authorized. The method of Maria Montessori is a groundbreaking idea. This is why I admire Maria Montessori.
