Check out this recent study exploring brain development in #Montessori and traditional schooling in Switzerland. #Montessori #Research #Braindevelopment
🌟MONTESSORI RESEARCH UPDATE!🌟 Are you more curious to know or to understand concepts? A fascinating recent study that looked at the brain of 111 school-aged students in Switzerland, has shown that there are differences in learning strategies between #Montessori and traditional schooling. Specifically, “students who learn with Montessori pedagogy have a higher tendency to make connections between concepts, fostering deep learning and knowledge transfer. Conversely, students who learn with traditional pedagogy tend to memorize knowledge in a fixed way, restricted to a given situation. These orientations may have long-term effects on flexible knowledge transfer and critical or creative thinking.” The study was conducted by 5 researchers, including Montessorian Solange Denervaud. #research #braindevelopment #publicmontessori #pedagogy #learning
