몬테소리 학습자관의 학생 주도성에 대한 함의

Abstract

Objectives This study analyzes the characteristics of perspective on learners in Montessori education and explores its implications for student agency. Methods To achieve this research objective, literature research was conducted in this study. First, Montessori education theory, Montessori school curriculum, and association data were collected to derive the characteristics of perspective on learners in Montessori education. Second, we collected literature related to student agency, explored the concept and meaning of student agency, and analyzed the educational relevance of student agency and Montessori education. Finally, based on the perspective on the learner that Montessori education aims for, the significance of the Montessori learner's perspective on student agency was derived. Results The analysis results show that Montessori education, first, emphasizes the role of teachers as protectors, observers, and creators of the environment to enhance student agency, aiming to nurture proactive learners. Second, Montessori encourages the development of learners with grit by willingly allowing mistakes and focusing on process-oriented assessment that prioritizes the learning process. Third, Montessori education values learners who are self-driven yet socially responsible. It believes that a sense of responsibility towards the community can be achieved through a partnership in education between the school and parents, thus encouraging parental involvement in education. Conclusions The conclusion presents the implications and limitations of Montessori education, as well as practical recommendations for applying it to enhance student agency in educational settings.
