Montessori Teaching1. Students have a choice of activity .2. Uniterrupted blocks of work time.3. The use of constructive or discovery learning

model also known as ‘learning by doing’, students learn concepts from working with materials rather than by direct instruction.

4. The use of specialized educational material developed by Montessori.

Dogme Teaching Interactivity Engagement Dialogue processes Scaffolded conversation Emergence Affordances Voice Empowerment Relevance Critical use

Why applying both?Both methods are based on interactivity as an essential

aspect of learning process. Both approach stress that the need for textbooks should

be filled with something more suitable to students need. This practice can be a source of empowerment for both

teachers and students. All materials have relevance to learners, so it’s easier to

understand.

Personalized worksheet based on what each student needs

Conclusion : Dogme teaching is applicable for my Kindergarten’s class.

This all entails hard work. It is required to do it in a large room with several teachers. It’s preferable to perform in a class whose children have mastered

the art of indivual play of Montessori and with good proficiency in English (at least are capable to communicate in English).

It is suggested that the lesson plans to be planned and performed in a week time and to make sure that the three-period lesson of Montessori is doable.

Teacher should also encourage their students to actively partake in the provided activity.
