(2)READING COMPREHENSION I Read the following passage
Originator of the Montessori method of education for pre-school children, Maria Montessori, was the first woman to receive a medical degree in Italy After receiving her degree in 1894, she worked with subnormal children as a psychiatrist at the University of Rome It was there that she pioneered in the instruction of retarded children, especially through the use of an environment rich in manipulative materials The success of Maria’s program with retarded children led her to believe that the same improvements could be made in the education of normal pre-school children This led her to open the first day care centre in Rome With its success similar institutions were opened in other parts of Europe and in the United States
In the early part of 20th century, however, interest in the Montessori method
declined because of those who argued that education should be more disciplined But by the late 1950s the Montessori method experienced a renaissance, and in the 1960s the American Montessori Society was formed The chief components of the Montessori method are self-motivation and auto-education Followers of the method believe that a child will learn naturally if put in an environment with the proper materials The teacher acts as observer and only interferes if help is needed Educators in this system are trying to reverse the traditional system of an active teacher and passive class
