The Eight Principles of Montessori Education
1. Movement and cognition are closely intertwined, and movement can enhance thinking and learning.
2. Learning and well-being are improved when people have a sense of control over their lives.
3. People learn better when they are interested in the topic of study.
4. Tying extrinsic rewards to an activity negatively impacts motivation to engage in that activity when the reward is withdrawn.
5. Collaborative arrangements can be very conducive to learning.
6. Learning situated in meaningful contexts is deeper and richer than learning in abstract contexts.
7. Particular forms of adult interaction are associated with optimal child outcomes.
8. Order in the environment is beneficial to children.
