Paper

Presenter(s): Tjasa Abram
Presentation will be in Slovene language.

When we hear the word talent, most of as think of a smart person. That person simply has the knowledge. But what we don't ask, is how that person got the knowledge. Is it just lazy when we say: »You are really talented!« What we know is that children talent depends on invarionment and other people. Other people are able to see the talent and give children oportunity to reach and devolop it. I know that there is many different ways of how to reach talent, however I found a step to a better practical work in a pedagogy of Maria Montessori. She observed children and dicovered something called sensitive perioud. each sensitive period is a specific kind of inner compulsion. These compulsions motivate young children to seek objects and relationships in the environment. Children use these to develop themselves. Nevertheless, the Montessori experience demonstrates that children will accomplish a more complete development of their unique capabilities if we present them with three conditions. The first is the adult’s knowledge of child development and the sensitive periods. The second is a prepared classroom environment that satisfies each sensitive period. The third is educational observation by the trained adult. In the artical I'm debating and researching a connection between childrens talent, selfiniative, motiviation and people that surround children and young adults.
