Neuroscience & the Classroom: Making Connections
Montessori and Dynamic Skill Theory
Even though it predates modern neuroscience, the Montessori classroom structure demonstrates Kurt Fischer's Dynamic Skill Theory in action.
One finding linked to Kurt Fischer’s Dynamic Skill Theory is that student performance does not increase steadily but goes up and down, depending on context. Even though they were developed long before Dynamic Skill Theory was proposed, Montessori classrooms incorporate ways for students to repeat tasks at their own pace until they reach mastery.
