This is the second in a series of AI in Education specials, where I speak to the world’s leading experts about how AI is changing teaching and learning.
Montessori is the exception to other outdated approaches. It is highly adapted for children under age six who are in the stage of forming the structure of their brain through interaction with their environment. It involves teaching children how to spot their own errors and then allowing them to struggle productively followed by re-teaching as needed. It also involves a sequenced curriculum that moves from simple to complex content as well as developing pre-requisite knowledge as a foundation for new knowledge. I don't think that it is as clear cut as it seems from the outside.
Two great pieces with loads of insight. Bit off the wall but I would be interested in hearing from Rupert Wegerif. He just touched on AI a bit in a podcast and made me think!
