Good at Work, Good at Rest

Work is something that every living thing dedicates its life to. It might be that work should be less about economic gain and more like a "mission" to affirm the meaning of one's existence. The significance of working and the significance of resting, this time, we discussed these topics as scientifically as possible. --- Yati Based in Japan, born in 1989.

The Scent of Home

To enrich a child’s daily life, one should enrich their sensory experiences. To do this, it is important to value information that has not yet been able to be transferred digitally, such as the sense of smell, taste, and touch. That is what we talked about this time. --- Yati Based in Japan, born in 1989. CEO of Motherhand and Co-Director of the nonprofit think tank Polymath Research.

If You Listen Closely

Practical life exercises are the essence of the Montessori method. They are an essential process that begins with the integration of senses and movement, enabling a smooth transition to more advanced intellectual activities such as culture, language, and mathematics. In particular, while Montessori education emphasizes the importance of sensory experiences, this time we discussed the sense of hearing from a scientific perspective. --- Yati Based in Japan, born in 1989.

The Pros and Cons of Worksheet Learning

In modern schools, worksheet-based learning is taken for granted. This method consumes a large amount of paper and significant time for both teachers and children, yet it is believed to be the best approach in an education industry that is busy with everything. While worksheet-based learning is a way to increase learning efficiency while reducing management costs for teachers, Maria Montessori criticized it as "busy work." Is there an alternative to this generalized method of learning? --- Yati Based in Japan, born in 1989. CEO of Motherhand and Co-Director of the nonprofit think tank Polymath Research.
