Recommended: The philosophers that developed early childhood education

Loris Malaguzzi was Born in Corregio, Italy in 1920. He lived in a city called Reggioi Emmilia in Italy, which is recognized worldwide for its approach to education. After years past he then developed preschool and primary education in Italy after World War2. In 1976, the parents and the community confirmed their support for the guiding principles of the Reggio Approach to early childhood education. After his unexpected death, the community of Reggio Emilia carried on, implemented his dreams, and fulfilled the Reggio mission, which enhanced the potential of all children. Soon A foundation was named “The Reggio mission” and was established as the “International Centre for the Defense and Promotion of the Rights and Potential of all children.”
Loris Malaguzzi was the founder of Reggio Emilia schools; he had the thought that all children are capable of learning and construct their own learning. He also thought that family and community are very important in our learning abilities. The Reggio Emilia approach is based on the belief, children are powerful people, there full of desire and ability to grow and construct their own knowledge. He also thought that children have the right to interact and communicate with each other along with respecting each other as well, which I highly agree with him on that! The child is also viewed as being an active constructor of knowledge rather than being seen as the target of instructions. He has this other belief that the child is beheld as beautiful, powerful, competent, creative, curious and full of potential and ambitious desires.

  • Reggio Emillia and the Approach

    2092 Words  | 5 Pages

    Origin from a city in the north of Italy, the Reggio Emilia approach in Early Childhood Education is adopted by multi-countries over the past decades. This approach has a core philosophy, that children should play a leading role in education. Children are seen as full of knowledge and intelligence, with full capabilities to express themselves if only given the proper ways to do to so. They are protagonists of their own learning and have a say in what topics and problems they will study and research. Teachers provide resources to assistant children’s learning and developing. The curriculum is emergent, meaning the teachers choose topics and projects based on careful listening and observations of their student’s interests, needs and inquiries. Children are encouraged to use materials and media to demonstrate their learning and understanding of a topic or project. Documentations and environment have direct influences in helping children’s learning. Parents and community also play a supportive role in children education (O.E.C.D, 2004).

    With the success of working with these children she was asked to open a school in a housing project in Rome, which was opened on January 6 1907, which was called Casa dei Bambini or Children’s House. Montessori was focused on teaching the children how to develop their own skills at their own rate, which was a principle Dr. Montessori called “spontaneous self-development”.

When the children were given furniture, equipment, and supplies they were able to work by themselves, they were also self-motivated to explore experiment and reach new understandings.
