Thanks to C2 activities about nature activities,students’ respect for nature will strengthen;they will develop mentally,sensually,linguistically,cognitively and socially and the motivation of the students in harmony will increase.
Thanks to C3 meeting,they will be in harmony with their schoolmates;Students who acquire new skills and techniques in education will also develop their motor skills.
Thanks to C4 meeting about group activities,students developing their motivation and self-confidence will learn to be coherent within the group;thereby they will improve their empathy and communication skills.
Thanks to C5 meeting about workshop,the teachers will have the knowledge and skills to integrate the positive effects of the methods in the montessori approach to the education of special education students.
