DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENT THINKING SKILLS IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN THROUGH MONTESSORI DIDACTIC MATERIALS

Abstract

This article examines the role and significance of Maria Montessori's didactic materials in developing independent thinking skills in preschool children. The study analyzes the impact of the Montessori sensory environment on children's free activity, self-correction of errors, and their ability to solve problematic situations independently. Furthermore, methodical recommendations for the effective integration of foreign innovative methodologies into the national preschool education system have been developed.
