Translations:3-Hour Work Cycle (Montessori)/3/en
From Montepedia
Rationale
Dr. Maria Montessori observed that children have a natural tendency to concentrate on tasks that interest them, and when given enough time, they can reach a state of deep engagement and satisfaction[1]. The 3-Hour Work Cycle provides this necessary time, allowing children to fully explore their interests and complete their tasks without feeling rushed[2]. This approach aligns with recent research on "soft skills," which are personality traits, goals, motivations, and preferences that are valued in the labor market, school, and many other domains[3].
