What Maria Montessori emphasized in the early twentieth century is even more pertinent today in the twenty-first century, because academic superiority is no longer sufficient to ensure success and happiness in life and work. Holistic development through education, beginning at a young age, is more vital today than it was a century ago.
The development of a student’s intellectual, mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, and social abilities so that he or she is capable of meeting the demands and obstacles of everyday life is referred to as holistic development. These skills are critical for professional success in a variety of industries.
Learning, or the development of knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, and habits, is facilitated by education. Teaching, training, storytelling, conversation, and focused study are all examples of educational practices. Although most education takes place under the supervision of educators, learners can also educate themselves. Education can occur in both formal and informal settings, and any event that has a formative effect on one’s thoughts, feelings, or actions can be deemed educational. The term pedagogy refers to the teaching methodology.
