The Analysis of Movement is a technique employed in Montessori education, in which complex tasks are broken down into their component parts for teaching.[1] By demonstrating each movement slowly and precisely, educators can enhance the child's comprehension and mastery of the task.

Montessori Quotes

  • "In our technique we act in such a way that the child may learn by looking at a well made action with all its details."[2]
  • "The child who has never learned to act alone, to direct his own actions, to govern his own will, grows into an adult who is easily led and must always lean upon others."[3]

Research and Critiques

  • Pros: Montessori's analysis of movement technique may improve the child's motor skills, enhance their cognitive development, and promote independence.[4]
  • Cons: Critics argue that the analysis of movement approach might slow the learning process for some children, particularly those who learn better through holistic rather than segmented approaches.[5]

Comparisons to Other Methods

In contrast to the Montessori method, traditional teaching often presents the entire process at once without breaking it down into individual steps.[6]

Glossary of Montessori Terms

The Glossary of Montessori Terms is a collection of specific terms and vocabulary that are related to the Montessori method of education, primarily focusing on the theory and practice for children aged 3 to 6. The jargon used by Montessori educators offers a unique insight into child development as discussed by Maria Montessori. The 'Montepedia Glossary of Montessori Terms' originated from a glossary that was compiled by the late Annette Haines from the Montessori Training Centre of St. Louis, at the request of Molly O'Shaughnessy from the Montessori Centre of Minnesota. The reason behind the creation of this glossary was to supplement O'Shaughnessy's lecture at the Joint Annual Refresher Course that took place in Tampa, Florida, in February 2001.[7] The glossary has since been expanded and updated with additional 'Montessori Terms'.
