Details | The purposes of this study are to grasp 1) the alternation of Montessori practice teaching and the students' impressions in the confusion of the Covid-19 pandemic, 2) the limitations of Montessori education at the kindergarten and the parents' perceptions in this confusion, 3) the achievements and challenges in working toward the post-pandemic. The class starting date was postponed by two weeks and first six classes were given online. With Zoom, the students could comprehend figures of the materials, but felt difficulty to give presentation to children. As for the kindergarten closed for a month, all the parent observation and orientation were postponed until autumn. Parents were interested in Montessori education (95%), but felt hard to act with the Montessori philosophy continuously at home. |
