[quote=Anonymous]From what I can tell, Montessorians believe a lot in intrinsic motivation. Traditional schools believe in a lot of extrinsic motivation. Some schools are in-between. Traditional schools have rules directed by the teacher for children to follow "Now it's time to sit down in a circle". "Now it's time to do activity "X", and they might have a free play time with few rules at all and at the end say "Now it's time to clean up". Montessorians teach rules that children are to follow themselves at all times without their direction. There are rules for pushing in your chair, choosing and putting away work, asking for help, much of the work is done a certain way, but there are little extrinsic motivators such as telling the child what to do when. So they both have structure but in different ways. [/quote]
