Production and exchangeErdkinderWorkPrepared environmentValorization of the personalityMontessori -- Curriculum Theory and Practice(3rd) Third plane of developmentMicro-economy Use for works describing the Montessori principle and practice through which adolescents experience producing goods or providing services and exchanging their contributions within authentic social and economic relationships. Includes agricultural production, craft production, community enterprises, shops, and associated responsibilities as part of adolescent development and education. Distinguish from vocational preparation. Contemporary practitioners have used “micro-economy” for school-community enterprises. Dowell’s account describes a preference for the term “production and exchange,” as it preserves the broader social experience of purposeful, productive work within the context of the adolescent's work toward economic independence and participation in society (Dowell, 2020).
