Abstract
This study examines Montessori’s concepts of early childhood education from the perspective of Islamic psychology. This research uses qualitative methodology with a literature approach.
The results show that Montessori is a system of education for young children that seeks to develop natural interests and activities rather than the use of formal teaching methods.
The purpose of dedicating time and effort towards courtesy in Montessori thought is not to have an obedient or perfectly behaved child. The purpose is to empower children with skills and words and to give them the gift of being able to appropriately handle social situations, allowing them to be respectful of themselves, family, and friends, and of all those around them.
This comparative strategy has allowed me to appreciate gems of Islamic teaching; however, these teachings become much more practical, understandable, and impactful when they are put in the right context and backed up by modern research findings. Whether you are a parent, an educator, or a caregiver, I hope you see my research strategy as a tool that you can apply to any discipline in life. It is a tool that has changed my mindset and has allowed me to look at parenting with a wider lens—the lens of Islam, Montessori, and modern research altogether—and I hope you are inspired to do the same in whatever you pursue.
