Spontaneous Repetition refers to the natural tendency of children to repeat an activity voluntarily until they achieve mastery and satisfaction. In the Montessori classroom, children are given the freedom to choose activities that interest them and are allowed to work on these activities for as long as they wish without unnecessary interruption. This freedom leads to deep engagement and concentration, as children are motivated by their intrinsic desire to learn and understand.
The Montessori method recognizes spontaneous repetition as a critical component of the learning process, indicating a child’s active engagement with a concept or skill. Through repetition, children refine their movements, improve their understanding, and build confidence in their abilities, laying the groundwork for future learning.
