Dalam video yang saya nonton kita di ajak untuk mendengarkan sebuah cerita tentang anak ayam yang menakjubkan dan pada akhir video ini kita akan melihat apa saja nilai-nilai dari cerita ini.
Anak ayam yang menakjubkan Pada suatu hari di sebuah peternakan ada seekor ayam kecil bernama Desy. Kata Desi ketika aku dewasa nanti aku ingin terbang terbang tinggi ke langit, namun ayam-ayam lain menertawakanny. Kamu aneh sekali kata mereka .Kami tidak akan bermain denganmu lagi. Desi kita dapat mengembangkan sayap kita namun sangat sulit bagi ayam untuk terbang kata mama desi, desi pantang menyerah setiap hari ia berlatih sendiri Mengapa
kepakan sayapnya dia mengepakkan sayap namun Ia tetap di tanah ketika berlatih ia membayangkan dirinya terbang tinggi dan melihat ayam-ayam lain dari atas ia membayangkan dirinya terbang melewati burung dara dan burung pipit mereka akan berkata wow. Desi selalu berlatih Terbang dan mengepak kepakkan sayapnya setiap hari. Desi mengepakkan sayapnya ia dapat terangkat sedikit namun jatuh kembali aku tidak akan bisa terbang Mama Kata Desi. Desi kamu berbeda dengan ayam lainnya mereka tidak mau terbang tapi kamu mau kamu pasti bisa kata Mama hari berikutnya Desi melompat ke atas kandang sambil mengepakkan sayapnya ia terlempar ke udara dan mengepakkan sayapnya dan ayam-ayam lain tertawa terbahak-bahak tuh kan ayam tidak bisa terbang namun hari berikutnya Desi naik ke bagian kandang yang paling tinggi Desi mengepakkan sayapnya ia melontarkan dirinya ke udara dan mengepakkan sayapnya dan Ia tetap berusaha untuk terbang di udara dan sayapnya semakin kencang dan ia terbang semakin tinggi burung dara dan burung pipit berkata Wah menakjubkan dan semua ayam yang lain ingin menjadi sepertinya mereka
Terkadang di dalam hidup ini ada hal-hal yang membuat kita merasa kesulitan.
Seperti terkadang ada anak-anak masih kesulitan memakai sepatu dan mengikat tali sepatu itu bukannla hal yang mudah dan hal tersebut membuat teman-teman merasa kesal . apakah teman-teman pernah merasa kesal. Ada sebuah lagu
tentang terus mencoba “aku bisa aku pasti bisa ku harus terus berusaha. Bila ku gagal itu tak mengapa setidaknya ku telah mencoba,aku bisa aku pasti bisa, ku tak mau berputus asa, coba terus cobah sampaiku bisa aku bisa aku pasti bisa.”
Dan pada cerita di atas mengajarkan tentang kecerdasan emosi dan nantinya berujung kepada kecerdasan sosial kecerdasan emosi ini penting sekali karena kalau emosi seorang anak tidak tuntas nantinya akan berdampak pada kesehatan mental di usia dewasa ada banyak anak-anak dan juga remaja yang mengalami masalah dalam perilakunya. kalau kita lihat cerita dari seekor anak ayam tadi kita lihat bahwa anak ayam itu mengenali kemampuan dirinya. Jadi anak-anak usia dini pun perlu dilatih sejak awal tahu siapa dirinya identitasnya kemampuan dia termasuk mengidentifikasi perasaan-perasaan emosinya kalau dia bisa kenal maka dia akan bisa mengelola dan kalau anak bisa mengelola emosinya tentunya dia juga akan Mudah mengelola stres dan pada ujungnya ia juga bisa mengelola perilaku kehidupan sosialny. Nah karena itu nomor satu pada anak usia dini sebetulnya pada penanaman moral character dan emosi sosial.
hi everybody today I'm going to share with you the 8 principles of Montessori now whether you're a parent or a principal of the school or a teacher who's looking at implementing Montessori these eight principles are absolutely essential for you to understand without understanding this principle of course it's easy to buy
materials and to use it with the children teach them some pouring transferring etc however without these eight principles you know half of the benefits or even more than half of the benefit of Montessori is lost now what are these eight principles the first principle is movement and cognition now what Maria
Montessori says is that without movement that can there cannot be any learning a child has to move to be able to learn even we as adults when we have a new phone say in our hands we can't just learn how to use it without actually exploring with the material without moving without moving our hands even as I'm speaking now I'm using movement so movement is absolutely essential life itself starts with movement and without movement there is no cognition so whatever you are setting up wherever you're setting up your Montessori environment make sure that is enough room for the children to move around and to explore that is
absolutely essential now the second principle is choice now it has been observed that learning and well-being are improved if people have a sense of control over their lives so if you give children choices say for example you give a few choices of materials on the shelf and children go and choose their own material what
happens here is that because they're able to choose what they want they then have a sense of control over their learning so this sense of control gives them it improves it helps them to improve their learning if you a lot a child a material and say here you have to do this you know you can't do any of these other materials you just have to focus on this after you finish this then I'll give you another material you make the choices the child child then is not he does not have the sense of control and if he does not have that sense of control he will not be likely to take ownership of what he is learning but third principle is interest now when people have an interest in something they will learn better we know that we know that with ourselves so similarly with children as well when they're interested in something then they are definitely going to learn better the fourth principle is extrinsic rewards are avoided now if you have to give children reward say we give a sticker if they do a good job or you put a star where then you know it doesn't
really work because then they are only being motivated by what they get from you rewards are really not necessary children are not looking for rewards to do something which they're interested in giving them rewards only will spoil their learnings what happens when you give rewards to children is that they get
motivated because you're giving them a reward then one day when you withdraw that reward the motivation then drops so it is just not what we want children to do is to have self motivation because self motivation is a quality you want to build in the child that will carry on a long way in life the fifth principle is learning from and with peers so what does this mean this means that you know children work learn better when they are in a collaborative environment that is why in a
Montessori environment you have the age group three to six years you know in a classroom what happens here is that they tend to learn from each other younger children will observe the older children and they will try to imitate what they do and they will follow what they do and the old insurance all the children here have the the opportunity then to stand up as leaders to guide the little ones the sixth principle is learning in context so what this means is that if you have to bring our learning in the classroom or with your child at home you have to make it you know meaningful say for example if you're learning about insects you're going to you know you want the children to explore more about insects and stuff so instead of just learning abstractly with pictures and stuff take them to a meaningful context maybe take a walk and observe the insects in the park or under the tree you know observe some bully ants and then you bring that
learning back to the child so what happens here then is that you know it becomes more meaningful the child has observed the insects in the natural environment and then he must have developed an interest towards it and then you talk about it in the classroom maybe you bring in you put a nature table so it becomes the more meaningful context then the child will be able to learn and the learning will be much richer and deeper the seventh principle is teacher ways and child ways now particular forms of adult interact interactions are associated with more optimal child outcomes what this means is that you know if teacher knows how to interact with a child then you know she will be able to bring better outcomes from the child now there are specific ways that a teacher may interact with a child now this is what we teach in our diploma in Montessori education what is the language
that you use with a child how do you interact with a child and this interaction then we'll bring more positive outcomes from the child the eighth and the last principle is order in environment and mind if you walk into a Montessori classroom what you will observe there is you know there's complete order in the environment you will see five different areas in each area every material has got a place there is a place for a myth every material and every material is in its place even at the end of the day once the children are done with the materials it goes back into place they have respect for the environment when there's order in the environment and when you encourage children to you know maintain this order to respect the environment and to respect the order in the environment then the child will be able to also have a certain order with the things that he learn in his mind what is in the environment will then be formed in his mind these are the apron suppose I hope you've enjoyed this session and if you have any questions just send me an email and I'll be happy to connect with you I look forward to sharing much more of Montessori with you all thank you you
