Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Maria Montessori believed that the education of young children must be done in a specially prepared environment where the childrens curriculum was based in practical, sensory, and formal activities. The preplanned teacher devices allowed the children to master skills with an intellectual outcome. Jean Piagets philosophy was devoted to the four sub-stages of cognitive development. He believed that children construct their concepts about reality by actively exploring their environment. His movement caused Americans schools to become less formal in the environment.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Students' answers may vary considerably, based on the nature of their individual experiences and beliefs. Answers should be assessed on the reflective thinking and insight that students exhibit in extracting lessons about teaching and learning from their experiences and on the extent to which they are able to link their insights to the major ideas of one of the educational pioneers discussed in the chapter.

Answer to Question 3
