Pedagogy of Montessori is characterized as a pedagogical method that focuses on the child and his or her personality. In Montessori pedagogy, comparisons and measurements according to general standards are not used. Instead, children learn freely, without coercion, outside interference and criticism. Maria Montessori was convinced that both reward and punishment can damage people's inner orientation. People should learn from their own motivation.
Montessori pedagogy focuses on the needs, abilities and talents of each child. Children learn best when they are free to choose how they learn and play.
