This study is a critical analysis of Waldorf teacher education in Australia. Beginning with an exposition of the central tenets of Rudolf Steiner's philosophy and educational theory, and his lectures to teachers, the author identifies what he sees as the requirements and characteristics of an ideal Waldorf teacher education program. The study next investigates the development of Waldorf teacher education provision in Australia, and surveys a wide cross-section of teachers and teacher educators in Australian Waldorf schools, to ascertain the type of preparation they received or have contributed to, and elicit their views as to its strengths and weaknesses. These findings are then critically analysed, making comparisons with Waldorf teacher education programs in other countries. The feasibility and implications of including a Waldorf course in a main-stream teacher education Faculty in Australian universities are discussed, in relation to current prevailing government policies regarding schooling and the values and emphases which these impose upon state university courses. The study concludes with proposals for change and improvement in Waldorf teacher education provision in Australia to make Waldorf teachers better prepared to educate Australian children for the 21st century, still in keeping with the essential values of Steiner education.Thesis (Ph.D.)--Graduate School of Education, 1999.

Resumo: A Escola Waldorf teve sua origem na Alemanha em 1919, quando o dono da fábrica de cigarros alemã Waldorf Astoria pediu a Rudolf Steiner, educador e filósofo, que organizasse uma escola para os filhos de seus operários. Assim, Steiner idealiza a pedagogia Waldorf com a missão desenvolver não só o lado intelectual das crianças, mas também, o emocional, o psicológico, o intuitivo e a experiência concreta. Dentro deste contexto, a experiência espacial que toca a criança, física e criativamente, é considerada tão significativa quanto o ensino das matérias que alimenta a capacidade intelectual e social da criança. Consequentemente existe uma preocupação em proporcionar aos alunos espaços físicos adequados ao processo de ensino. Este fato se reflete na arquitetura de seus prédios, que se destacam por suas formas orgânicas e peculiares, caracterizando um tipo arquitetônico. Tendo em vista a importância da arquitetura para o processo de aprendizado Waldorf e, também, o valor da identidade para uma comunidade, essa pesquisa propôs-se a estudar a arquitetura dos prédios das escolas Waldorf. Esta foi analisada sob o foco da linguagem dos parâmetros de Christopher Alexander que possibilitou a identificação de diferentes soluções projetuais para os três princípios que norteiam a construção desse tipo arquitetônico: a integração, a correlação e a inspiração. Assim, com base no estudo teórico da pedagogia Waldorf e na análise das escolas, foi possível propor sugestões projetuais para auxiliar arquitetos, que venham a projetar escolas Waldorf, a preservar o "tipo arquitetônico".
Abstract: The Waldorf School had its origins in Germany in 1919, when the owner of the cigarettes factory Waldorf Astoria asked to the educator and philosopher Rudolf Steiner to organize a school for the sons of its workers. Thus, Steiner Waldorf idealizes the Waldorf Pedagogy with the mission of developing not only the intellectual side of children, but also the emotional, psychological, intuitive and concrete experience. In this context, the spatial experience that touches the child physically and creatively is considered as significant as the courses taught, feeding the intellectual capacity and social development of the child. Consequently, there is a concern in providing the students with physical spaces adequate to the teaching process. This fact is reflected in the architecture of its buildings, which are distinguished for its organic and peculiar forms, featuring an architectural type. Given the importance of the architecture for the Waldorf learning process, and also the value of identity for a community, this research aimed to study the building of Waldorf schools. That was analyzed under the focus of Christopher Alexander language patterns which allowed to identify different design solutions in accordance to the three principles that rules the building of this architectural type: integration, correlation and inspiration. Thus, based on a theoretical study about the Waldorf pedagogy as well as on the analysis of its school building it was possible to propose design solutions to help architects, which come to project Waldorf schools, to preserve this architectural type.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MEd)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The facilitation of human rights values might be considered a means to rethink and redefine values education in South Africa. This study aimed at determining how human rights values were addressed in the context of independent Waldorf Education and government initiated outcomes-based education in South Africa, and how educators facilitated these values in various circumstances. In exploring the philosophies, theories and practices of these education models against the background of paradigmatic and post-paradigmatic philosophies in support of the socially constructive curriculum theory, important notions were highlighted that have preceded, and might follow, the facilitation of human rights values. The epistemologies, ontologies and methodologies of the emancipatory paradigm and postparadigmatic framework appeared to provide appropriate philosophical departure points regarding the facilitation of human rights values. This study anticipated the theoretical clarification of the concept human rights values and included a discussion on the importance of these values in various school contexts. Values identified from the Manifesto on Values, Education and Democracy (2001), that were also present in the Curriculum: Waldorf Schools in South Africa (1995), were discussed as possible human rights values. Empirical research was conducted to explore how human rights values were attended to in good practice scenarios in order to provide insight into the questions posed regarding the facilitation of human rights values. Through systematic ethnographic observations and semi-structured interviews it appeared that in both school contexts human rights values were more frequently addressed in incidental situations than in formal curriculum contents. This is interesting seeing that the outcomes-based education model has a number of documents to guide the facilitation of human rights values within formal curriculum contents, whereas the Waldorf approach has no such supportive documents. One might question the value and influence of numerous documents if basic knowledge that is required for the meaningful interpretation of such documents is not communicated from the outset. Moreover, it became evident that since Waldorf educators are adequately trained in Anthroposophy, the philosophy to which Waldorf schools adhere, they deal with curriculum matters such as socially constructing a curriculum more effectively. The training of outcomes-based education educators can be questioned regarding the philosophy, theory and methodology of outcomes-based education in view of the hasty implementation of this new model for government schools. As a result of this hurried process, educators of outcomes-based education are experiencing numerous uncertainties when they have to manage curriculum matters such as socially constructing a curriculum. Recommendations and related examples were provided after the completion of the study. This included, among others, the notions of dialogically facilitating human rights values to promote learners' understanding of their rights, and the rights of others; to transform incidental facilitation of human rights values into worthwhile teaching-learning experiences; to use human resources - including learners - to convey human rights values; and to focus educators' training (both in-service and pre-service) toward the inclusion of human rights values and promoting an understanding of socially constructing a curriculum. The study was concluded with the remark that human rights values might be an appropriate means to redefine values education, provided that the facilitation of human rights values are based on suitable theoretical and philosophical premises; and that those held responsible to facilitate such values are assisted in this task.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die fasilitering van menseregte-waardes kan beskou word as 'n wyse om waarde-opvoeding in Suid-Afrika opnuut te deurdink en te herdefinieer. Hierdie studie het ten doel gehad om vas te stel hoe menseregte-waardes in onafhanklike Waldorf Onderwys en staatsgeïnisieerde uitkomsgebaseerde onderwyskontekste in Suid-Afrika aangespreek word, en ook hoe dit in die praktyk gefasiliteer word. Die verkenning van teorieë, filosofieë en praktyke aangaande die twee opvoedingsrnodelle teen die agtergrond van paradigmatiese en post-paradigmatiese filosofieë, ter ondersteuning van kurrikulumteorie, het kardinale aspekte wat die fasilitering voorafgegaan het, en moontlik tot gevolg kan hê, uitgelig. die sosiaal-konstruktiewe van menseregte-waardes Dit kom voor asof die epistemologieë, ontologieë en metodologieë onderliggend aan die emansipatoriese paradigma en die post-paradigmatiese raamwerk 'n genoegsame filosofiese aanvangspunt bied met betrekking tot die fasilitering van menseregte-waardes. In die studie is die konsep menseregte-waardes konseptueel-teoreties verklaar. Dit het ook 'n bespreking oor die belangrikheid van hierdie waardes in verskeie skoolkontekste ingesluit. Waardes geïdentifiseer uit die Onderwysrnanifes oor Waardes en Demokrasie in die Onderwys (Manifesto on Values, Education and Democracy, 2001) wat ook sigbaar was in die Waldorf-kurrikulumdokument (Curriculum: Waldorf Schools in South Africa, 1995), is bespreek as moontlike menseregte-waardes. Empiriese navorsing is onderneem om die wyse waarop menseregte-waardes in goeie praktyk-scenarios aangespreek word te verken ten einde nuwe insig te verkry rakende die fasilitering van menseregte-waardes. Deur die sistematies-etnografiese waarnemings en semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude het dit voorgekom dat menseregte-waardes in beide skoolkontekste meestal in toevallige situasies aangespreek word, eerder as deel van formele kurrikuluminhoude. Dit is interessant, gegewe die feit dat die uitkomsgebaseerde opvoedingsmodel heelwat dokumente beskikbaar gestel het om die fasilitering van menseregte-waardes te rig, terwyl die Waldorf-benadering geen ondersteunende dokumentasie in dié verband bied nie. Mens kan tereg vra wat die waarde en invloed van sulke dokumente is as basiese kennis, wat nodig is om hierdie dokumente betekenisvol te interpreteer, nie eerste oorgedra word nie. Dit het ook gelyk asof Waldorf-onderwysers beter met kurrikulumverwante sake, soos die sosiale konstruering van 'n kurrikulum, omgaan weens hul goeie opleiding betreffende Antroposofie, die filosofie wat Waldorf-onderwys onderlê. Opvoeders in uitkomsgebaseerde onderwys se opleiding in die teorie, filosofie en metodologie van die onderwysmodel, wat beïnvloed is deur die haastige implementering van die nuwe model in staatskole, kan bevraagteken word. Laasgenoemde aspek blyk onsekerhede te veroorsaak wanneer hierdie onderwysers kurrikulumverwante sake, soos die sosiale konstruering van 'n kurrikulum, moet hanteer. Ná afloop van die studie is sekere aanbevelings en verwante voorbeelde gegee. Dit het onder meer die volgende ingesluit: dat dialoog na 'n wenslike fasiliteringstrategie lyk in die bevordering van leerders se begrip van hul regte, asook dié van andere; dat situasies waartydens menseregte-waardes toevallig aangespreek word omskep kan word in waardevolle onderrig-Ieerervaringe; dat menslike hulpbronne - insluitende leerders - gebruik kan word om menseregte-waardes oor te dra; en dat onderwysersopleiding (beide indiens en voordiens ) op die insluiting van menseregte-waardes en die bevordering van begrip vir die sosiale konstruering van 'n kurrikulum moet fokus. Die studie is afgesluit met die opmerking dat menseregte-waardes tot die herdefiniëring van waarde-opvoeding mag bydra, gegewe dat dit op gepaste teoretiese en filosofiese begrondinge gebaseer is, en dat diegene wat verantwoordelik gehou word vir die fasilitering van sulke waardes, die nodige ondersteuning in dié verband sal kry.

O trabalho escolar realizado na escola Waldorf com a Matemática tem na percepção sensorial seu ponto de partida. Esta dissertação pretende investigar o papel que essa disciplina desempenha, quando trabalhada sob este viés, na formação do indivíduo. Pressupõe que o autoconhecimento, advindo do amadurecimento sensorial chegando à condição de abstração e liberdade que transcende as âncoras sensoriais, permite instrumentalizar a criança e o jovem conduzindo-os à assunção da condição humana. Parte de uma revisão bibliográfica acerca da sensorialidade humana sob a perspectiva da antroposofia, aponta as etapas do desenvolvimento cognitivo humano, e percorre o desenrolar do currículo da Matemática nas escolas Waldorf, interrelacionando-os e culminando em uma reflexão sobre o tema, desvendando a relação subjacente entre o aprendizado da matemática e a formação do indivíduo.The work with Mathematics in a Steiner School has as its starting point the sensorial perception. This dissertation will investigate the role that this subject has, when worked on such a way, on the constitution of the human being as an individual. It assumes that self knowledge, which comes from sensory maturing, reaches a condition of abstraction and freedom that transcends sensory anchors, providing tools and allowing the child to assume his/her human condition. The present assumption will be revealed through literature review on human sensory organism under the perspective of anthroposophy, study of the human cognitive development stages, and presentation of the mathematics curriculum in Waldorf schools. This analysis will show the underlying relationship between the learning of Mathematics in a Steiner School and the human process of self construction.

As formações docentes são, em sua maioria, predominantemente conceituais, seguindo o modelo escolar iluminista que fragmenta o conhecimento e atribui menor importância à ludicidade, à Arte e às demais instâncias subjetivas do docente em formação. Por outro lado, o sistema de ensino, de uma forma geral, atribui ao professor a responsabilidade de empreender uma prática pedagógica inovadora, criativa, que estimule a aprendizagem significativa dos estudantes. Neste sentido, julguei relevante um estudo que refletisse sobre a formação de professores para atuação com a Pedagogia Waldorf, uma pedagogia que anseia desenvolver, através da formação docente continuada, professores capazes de construírem sua prática em consonância com os fundamentos transdisciplinares e enfoque na educação integral (aspectos cognitivos, afetivos e volitivos) do sujeito; para isso, sua proposta de formação docente é composta por aulas teóricas, práticas, lúdicas e artísticas. O objetivo geral dessa pesquisa foi compreender de que maneira a formação continuada de professores em uma perspectiva ludoestética contribui para a prática pedagógica dos docentes do Ensino Fundamental da Escola Rural Dendê da Serra. Buscando identificar as concepções dos professores sobre ludicidade, experiência estética e formação ludoestética; conhecer a percepção dos professores acerca da dimensão ludoestética em seu processo formativo; reconhecer nas práticas pedagógicas dos docentes como se manifestam os princípios de uma prática pedagógica ludoestética, debrucei-me sobre a dinâmica da referida escola, que alicerça seu trabalho na Pedagogia Waldorf. Optei por uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, elegendo o estudo de caso como estratégia investigativa e como técnicas para coleta de dados: questionário, grupo focal e entrevista semiestruturada. A pesquisa assinalou que uma formação docente continuada pautada no desenvolvimento pleno (intelecto, sentimento e ações) do docente, a partir de experiências estéticas, contribui para a realização de uma atuação pedagógica mais criativa que se retroalimenta dos elementos que se interligam para a concretização de uma prática pedagógica ludoestética, aqui compreendida como uma prática que visa à aprendizagem significativa pela sinergia entre o pensar e o agir, desencadeada pelo sentir.
ABSTRACT For the most part, the teacher education is predominantly conceptual, following the educational model of the enlightenment which fragments knowledge and assigns less importance to playfulness, art, and other subjective instances of teachers in training. On the other hand, the educational system, generally, assigns to the teacher the responsibility of developing an innovative and creative pedagogical practice that triggers the significant learning of students. In this regard, I have thought it was relevant to develop a study that concerns the teacher training employing the Waldorf Pedagogy which yearns to develop, through the continued teacher training, teachers able to build their pedagogical practice in consonance with transdisciplinary fundamentals and focused on the integral education (cognitive, emotional, and volitional aspects) of the student. To do so, its proposal of teacher education is composed of theoretical, practical, ludic, and artistic classes. The main goal of this study was to understand how the continued teacher training in a ludo-aesthetics perspective contributes to the pedagogical practices of elementary school teachers from the Dendê da Serra School. Aiming to identify the conceptions of the teachers about playfulness, aesthetic experience, and ludo-aesthetic training; to understand the teachers’ perception of the ludo-aesthetics dimension in its formative process; to recognize how the principles of the ludo-aesthetics arise in the pedagogical practices of the teachers, I have focused on the dynamic of the aforementioned school which underpins its work in the Waldorf Pedagogy. I have opted to a qualitative research approach, electing the case study as the investigative strategy, while selecting questionnaire, focus group, and semi-structured interview as the techniques for the data collection. The research has revealed that a continued teacher training guided by the complete development (intellect, feeling, and actions) of the teacher, through aesthetics experiences, contributes to the accomplishment of a more effective pedagogy which feeds itself of the elements that are intertwined to achieve a ludo-aesthetic pedagogical practice, understood as a practice that aims to attain the significant learning through the synergy between thinking and acting, triggered by the feeling.

The present research leaned over at basics notions of Anthroposophy in the attempt to delve into the issues that brought to the surface the need to seek another look at education. The Waldorf Pedagogy emerged from a local need in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1919 and has been multiplying exponentially these days around the globe. Teacher’s training within this pedagogy takes the form of seminars over three to four and a half years. This study sought through the (auto)biographical narrative of three teachers at different moments of the training, pointed out and discussed the formative marks presented and what the impacts of this formation on the teacher who have chosen it. Four formative marks were defined - Responsibility in the formation of other human beings, critical thinking about the traditional pedagogical processes, admiration for the individual character of the Waldorf pedagogy and search for several forms of spirituality and, or, by the Anthroposophical Spiritual Science. This study showed the focus of the Waldorf formation on the individualities of each teacher that aims to enable them in the act of showing their students their unique characteristics.
A presente pesquisa debruçou-se sobre noções básicas da Antroposofia no intento de se aprofundar nas questões que trouxeram à tona a necessidade de buscar um outro olhar para a educação. A Pedagogia Waldorf surgiu de uma necessidade local de Stuttgart, Alemanha, em 1919 e vem se multiplicando exponencialmente nos dias de hoje ao redor de todo o globo. A formação docente dentro da referida pedagogia se dá na forma de seminários ao longo de três a quatro anos e meio. Este estudo buscou, através da narrativa (auto)biográfica de três professoras em momentos diferentes da formação, apontou e discutiu as marcas formativas presentes e quais os impactos dessa formação no professor que a escolhe. Foram delimitadas quatro marcas formativas – Responsabilidade na formação de outros seres humanos, pensamento crítico acerca dos processos pedagógicos tradicionais, admiração pelo caráter individual da pedagogia Waldorf e busca por formas varias de espiritualidade e, ou, pela Ciência Espiritual Antroposófica. Este estudo mostrou o foco da formação Waldorf nas individualidades de cada professora, que visa capacitá-las no ato de fazer transparecer em seus alunos suas características únicas.

Full textAbstract:
The Steiner/Waldorf school movement is currently one of the fastest growing independent school movements internationally. In several countries it seems to have developed into the most popular form of alternative education. South Africa has 17 Waldorf schools and one full-time teacher training facility. This study investigated the interpretation and implementation of the Parzival main lesson within the wider context of the Waldorf curriculum. The main lesson system is an essential constituent of the Waldorf curriculum. Most academic subjects in a Waldorf school are taught in a three- or four-week main lesson block. The main lesson occupies the first two hours of the school day. A main lesson consists of a particular three-part structure, and the main lesson book is the keystone to the Waldorf evaluative process. The Parzival main lesson is specifically taught in Class 11, and most Waldorf schools consider it as one of the most important main lessons in the high school. The interpretivist model was ideally suited to this research. The investigation was conducted as a multiple case study, and the main source of data was provided by classroom observation. This was supported by interviews and classroom artifacts. The study involved two South African Waldorf schools at which the Parzival main lesson is taught. This main lesson is presented at only three South African Waldorf schools. I teach at the remaining school, and therefore conducted my research at the other two schools. The teachers who facilitated the Parzival main lesson, as well as the Class students at the selected schools voluntarily participated in the research. My research findings indicate that the possibility exists for the teacher to exercise a certain degree of freedom and creativity within the parameters of Waldorf methodology and the Waldorf curriculum. The study also determines that teachers often find it difficult to integrate the three-part structure, as indicated by Waldorf methodology, in a single main lesson. Furthermore, my research establishes that main lesson books can indeed serve as both text and as an assessment tool. I therefore conclude and maintain in this study, with particular reference to the Parzival main lesson, that despite the prescriptive structure of the Waldorf system and Steiner pedagogy, teachers need not necessarily sacrifice their freedom and creativity within the classroom.

Full textAbstract:
This paper has two objectives. First: the humanistic idea of knowledge, philosophically formulated by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), should be presented in relation to history of ideas. In the meeting with different kinds of cultural and social needs in Central Europe during the decades of the turn of the 20th century, Steiner developed his idea of knowledge into a singular Thought Style (Ge. Denkstil). A Thought Style can be described as a selective and aimed cognitive preparedness. The idea of knowledge and the Thought Style are here described as anthroposophical humanism. The second objective is to show how the Thought Style, in a historical way, was established in Sweden, and how it, until the mid 1980s, changed and was adapted to Swedish culture, i.e. how the style in various ways became Swedish. Organisations and movements that were influenced by the anthroposophical humanism were The Anthroposophical Society, the biodynamic movement, the movement for anthroposophic medicine, the medical pedagogical movement with special pedagogical institutions and social therapeutic homes for treatment, the Waldorf movement, the Christian Society, anthroposophic architecture and art practice etc. Since they co-operated with a common background, they formed a Thought Collective (Ge. Denkkollektiv). The anthroposophical humanism has its roots relating to history of ideas far back in the Central European Middle Ages. During the new humanism era, the idea of knowledge had a renaissance in German culture life. Rudolf Steiner remodelled the idea at the end of the 19th century and developed it into the singular Thought Style. When Steiner was a theosophical teacher he gave it an esoteric design. After the First World War, when Steiner was working as a social reformer, he gave it a humanistic design. Within The Anthroposophical Society, the double image of the anthroposophical movement, internationally and in Sweden, led to severe opposition and conflicts. Right until the mid 1980s, reorganisations were common in order to handle the two directions of the Thought Style when it came to differences in traditions, ideology and sociology. In Sweden, the anthroposophical movement has undergone four stages of development: the reception period 1890-1935, the conversion period 1935-55, the expansion period 1955-1985 and the integration period as from 1985. As from 1913, when The Anthroposophical Society was established, until 1985, the development of ideas in the anthroposophical Thought Style and the Thought Collective can be described as a wandering from Christian esotericism to an anthroposophical humanistic idea of knowledge, with a cultural education in the ideological focus of the Thought Style. The traditional development of ideas can also be described as an anthroposophical process of secularisation. There are mainly four things that have contributed to the expansion of the anthroposophical movement in Sweden during the phase of expansion: the post-war period economic expansion, the development of the educational system, the renaissance of esotericism in the late 1960s, as well as the need for an alternative to the post-war abundance consumerism and waste of resources. The Swedish development indicates similarities with the international development within those areas where different activities have been adapted to Swedish legislation, traditions and views, mainly through care and education.

Atualmente inúmeros estudos têm abordado diversos elementos ligados ao ensino de Geografia. Porém, ainda são poucos os trabalhos realizados no meio acadêmico, que tratam a disciplina de Geografia a partir de uma perspectiva holística de ensino, que insere a dimensão espiritual à prática educacional, abordando a busca de significado e de propósito no mundo. Dentro da linha holística, encontra-se a Pedagogia Waldorf fundamentada na Antroposofia de Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). Considerando a necessidade atual de reestruturação do ensino e a busca por um currículo mais integrado, este trabalho tem como proposta investigar as características do ensino fundamental de Geografia desenvolvido em uma escola Waldorf, fundamentado na Antroposofia, através de um estudo aprofundado da metodologia e de seus fundamentos.Currently innumerable studies have boarded diverse on elements to the education of Geography. However, still are few works carried through in half academic, that they treat disciplines it of Geography from a holistic perspective of education, that inserts the dimension spiritual to practical the educational one, approaching the search of meaning and intention in the world. Inside of the holistic line, it meets Waldorf Education based on the Rudolf Steiner´s Anthroposophy (1861-1925). Considering the current necessity of reorganization of education and the search for an integrated resume more, this work has as proposal to investigate the characteristics of the basic education of Geography developed in a Waldorf school, based on the Antroposophy, through a deepened study of the methodology and of its beddings.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie behandlar en alternativ pedagogik och belyser ett alternativt arbetsätt till den kommunala skolan. Den pedagogik som behandlas är waldorfpedagogiken och den avhandlas allmänt och med en enskild del som är riktad mot waldorfskolans sätt att arbeta med matematikundervisningen i de lägre åldrarna. Waldorfskolans bakgrund och tankar beskrivs och även dess metodik och undervisningsinnehåll. En djupare studie i en alternativ pedagogik kan utveckla synen på undervisningsmetoder och få tips på hur man kan lägga upp undervisningen. Ett annat syfte är att skapa en förståelse varför waldorfpedagogerna arbetar som dom gör.
Data har samlats in genom en litteraturstudie, ett antal observationstillfällen på en waldorfinspirerad friskola och två intervjuer. De data som framkommit ur detta har sedan bearbetats och analyserats.
Resultatet visar hur waldorfskolan arbetar mot hela människan och att en syn på barnets utveckling är avgörande för hur och i vilken ordning ämnen tas upp i skolan. Periodundervisning är karaktäristiskt för waldorfskolan och innebär att man läser ett ämne i taget under dagens första två timmar, i cirka tre veckors tid.
Waldorfskolan skiljer tydligt på matematik och räkning. Matematik innebär att man måste ha en förståelse för vad man gör och räkningen är en hjälp på vägen till svaret. Hjälpmedel som används i matematikundervisningen är mycket från naturen som till exempel kottar och kastanjer och eleverna får själva hjälpas åt att samla in dessa. Miniräknare och datorer används aldrig i de lägre åldrarna då de inte anses vara till hjälp för barnens förståelse för ämnet. Geometrin har en stark ställning och bygger på formteckning, som tillsammans med eurytmi är inslag i undervisningen som är speciella för waldorfskolan.

I detta arbete jämför jag Waldorf (muntlig undervisning och eurytmi), Montessori (ser barnet i dess egen utveckling) och förhållningssättet inlärningsstilar (individanpassat klassrum för maximal inlärning). Syftet med arbetet är att beskriva metoderna och att jämföra likheter och skillnader.
Arbetet är indelat i; en inledande del där jag beskriver syfte, metod och ger en bakgrund till varför jag valt detta ämne, en litteraturdel där jag går igenom de tre metoderna Waldorf, Montessori och inlärningsstilar samt deras syn på den lärande eleven och dess miljö, min egen erfarenhet där jag berättar om hur jag använt och kommit i kontakt med dessa metoder, en undersökning där jag jämför åtta klassers inlärningspreferenser med varandra och därefter presenterar jag min slutdiskussion.
Min hypotes när jag började detta arbete var att stökiga klasser har en majoritet av kinestetiskt/taktila elever och att dessa kan bli hjälpta av programmet inlärningsstilar. Min hypotes gick inte att bevisa genom detta arbete.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse montre que dans les situations instructionnelles, il est possible de rencontrer un axe de significations qui, jusqu'à aujourd'hui a été peu étudié : la dimension artistique de l'enseignement.En premier, les concepts liés à l'enseignement sont présentés dans la thèse (curriculum, pédagogie, instruction, didactique). Ensuite nous montrons les relations développées tout au long de l'histoire de la pédagogie en référence à l'art de l'enseignement, mettant un accent particulier sur les concepts liés à l'art (la techné, le beau, l'esthétique). Cette présentation nous est utile dans le seul but de montrer le territoire conceptuel sur lequel se développe cette thèse. Les procédures et les instruments d'investigation utilisés sont de type qualitatif : l'observation participante périphérique, l'entretien semi-structuré, et le registre descriptif.
Nous avons choisi la pédagogie Waldorf parce qu'elle considère depuis 1919 l'enseignement comme un art et le maître comme un artiste. Les écoles appliquant cette pédagogie sont devenues un lieu privilégié pour l'observation de la dimension artistique dans l'enseignement. Cette recherche a été effectuée dans trois écoles de trois pays européens différents pendant l'année scolaire 2000-2001. Seul le cours principal du matin dans les sept premières classes a été observé.
Cette recherche révèle qu'il existe une finalité explicite dans ce curriculum, comme procédure générale servant d'appui au maître pour son enseignement, mais en aucune façon comme prescription contraignante.
Le développement des capacités esthétiques du maître passe nécessairement par la pratique d'arts divers, celle-ci l'aidant à affiner son observation de la nature humaine qui constitue le substrat sur lequel il agit. Le procédé général employé par le maître est inspiré par les concepts de Rythme, d'Unité, d'Harmonie et de Proportion.

Os dados obtidos foram organizados em onze eixos e foi utilizada a análise de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Este estudo traz uma discussão sobre os objetivos de Rudolf Steiner ao pensar a Pedagogia para o Ensino de Ciências. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que a Pedagogia Waldorf tem como principal base de estruturação para o Ensino de Ciências a fenomenologia goetheanística, principalmente por não desvencilhar os fenômenos naturais de um mundo espiritual e desta forma, através das práticas de observação o aluno, de maneira inconsciente, compreenda a relação entre o mundo material e espiritual. Ainda espera-se que o aluno seja capaz de reconhecer no mundo natural e em sua vida cotidiana a essência dos fenômenos. A Pedagogia Waldorf adota práticas que incentivam ações humanitárias para que surja no jovem e consequentemente no adulto o impulso de intervir e transformar a realidade social e tem como meta final e longínqua uma sociedade baseada na trimembração social, na qual haja liberdade espiritual, igualdade de direitos e fraternidade econômica. Foi observado também que o Ensino Waldorf tem características interdisciplinares e transdisciplinares. Ainda Educação Waldorf também possui como objetivo o desenvolvimento das capacidades do ser humano, nos âmbitos cognitivo, espiritual, emocional e artístico, como também o estimulo da criatividade, iniciativa e autoconfiança.

It is yet to expect that the student will be able to recognize in the natural world and in his everyday life the essence of phenomena. Waldorf Education adopts practices that encourage humanitarian actions hoping to arise in the young and consequently in the adult an impulse to intervene and transform the social reality, and has as the ultimate and faraway goal a society based on social threefolding, in which there is spiritual freedom, equal rights and economic fraternity. Was also observed that the Waldorf education has interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary characteristics. Waldorf Education also has the objective of developing the capabilities of the human being, in the cognitive, spiritual, emotional and artistic fields, as well as the stimulation of creativity, initiative and self-confidence.

Teaching fractions represents a great challenge for most teachers from the fourth grade of Elementary School until High School. To offer to the Elementary School teacher one more tool to reach students in a more satisfactory way, this work has researched and applied a more artistic way to teach the contents cited above, inspired in Waldorf Education. It was created by Rudolf Steiner right after the First World War. Besides the artistic part, it was also considered the rhythm of teaching proposed by Steiner, respecting the age of the students and calling successively to the thinking, the feelling and the will during all class activities. The work was done in a class of the sixth grade of the E.E. Prof. Adail Malmegrim Gonçalves during the year of 2013 and considered the teaching of Fractions from the very beginning.
O ensino de frações representa um grande desafio para a maioria dos professores a partir do quarto ano do Ensino Fundamental país afora. Para oferecer ao professor do Ensino Fundamental mais uma ferramenta para atingir os alunos de forma mais satisfatória, neste trabalho foi pesquisada e aplicada uma maneira mais artística para o ensino do conteúdo citado acima inspirada na Pedagogia Waldorf, criada por Rudolf Steiner logo após a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Além da parte artística foi considerado também o ritmo de aula proposto por Steiner, respeitando a idade dos alunos e apelando sucessivamente ao pensar, ao sentir e ao querer durante todas as aulas. A aplicação foi realizada em uma turma de sexto ano da E.E. Prof. Adail Malmegrim Gonçalves durante o ano de 2013 e foi considerado o ensino de frações desde o início. Como resultado foi observado que, embora a metodologia empregada não tenha feito com que todos os alunos atingissem um nível avançando no conteúdo trabalhado, a participação e satisfação dos alunos foram maiores do que em outros momentos onde a Pedagogia Waldorf não serviu como inspiração.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorA presente pesquisa foi produzida num Jardim de Infância Waldorf no Rio de Janeiro e se propôs a um exercício de tradução, com o uso do dispositivo TeAR, que aliava o trabalho etnográfico no cotidiano escolar, aos elementos da tecelagem como artesania e ao modo de pesquisar da Teoria Ator-Rede (TAR). Entre as questões que emergiram ao longo do processo, podemos destacar: a com-vivência como prática educativa no encontro com a diferença, que vinculou-se ao método de PesquisarCOM da TAR, proposto pela psicóloga Marcia Moraes; uma maneira de aprender com os mal-entendidos, refazendo nossa maneira de interpelar o outro quando este recalcitra; incluindo humanos e não-humanos, sem domínios ou separações hierarquizantes; conhecendo com e não sobre o outro. Por outro lado, ao entendermos o conhecimento como processo de criação de si e do mundo, a produção de conhecimento na com-vivência fez emergir, como efeito das práticas de limite e recalcitrância, a diferenciação e singularização dos agentes, possibilitando a criação de novos limites e invenções. Assim, na afetação da experiência, chegamos à negociação dos interesses singulares e coletivos, na qual planos comuns e heterogêneos foram-se tecendo, de modo que as múltiplas possibilidades de vínculos aumentavam a potência de agir. Pensar com Latour que quando estamos mais vinculados, somos mais livres nos convida a experimentar novas formas de viver coletivamente, inventando a si de maneira vinculada e ao mesmo tempo proliferando modos de existir. Durante essa pesquisa, fiamos com as práticas do campo e tecemos versões de Educação Infantil na Pedagogia Waldorf cujos vínculos estão em movimento, constituindo uma ética na com-vivência
This research was made in a Waldorf kindergarten in Rio de Janeiro and had the intension of being a translation practice with the use of TeAR device that combined the ethnographic work in everyday school life, with the elements of weaving as craftsmanship and with the researching ways of the Actor Network Theory (ANT). Among the issues that emerged throughout the process, we can highlight: The " living together with-experience" as an educational practice in the encounter with the difference, linked to the ResearchWITH method of ANT proposed by psychologist Marcia Moraes; a way to learn from misunderstandings, remaking the way we challenged each other when this recalcitrate; including human and non-human, without domination or hierarchies separations; getting to know with the other instead of about the other. On the other hand, when we understand knowledge as a process of creation of one self and of the world, the production of knowledge in the living together with-experience" emerged, as an effect of the limit and recalcitrance practices, differentiation and singling of the agents, enabling the creation of new limits and inventions. Thus, in the allocation of experience, we come to the negotiation of individual and collective interests, in which common and heterogeneous plans were up weaving, so that the multiple possibilities of bonds increased the potency of acting. Thinking with Latour that the more linked we are the freer we are and that invites us to experience new ways of living together, inventing one self in a bound way while at the same time proliferating existing modes. During this research, we spin the field practices and we weaved versions of Early Childhood Education in Waldorf whose links are on the move composing an ethics within the living together with-experience

Full textAbstract:
A identidade visual das escolas Waldorf, que constituem unidades independentes entre si, é construída de uma forma diferente da que ocorre em outras escolas. Elas apresentam uma série de manifestações visuais espontâneas, que as fazem ser reconhecidas como parte de um todo. Nesta pesquisa qualitativa procurou-se compreender que manifestações visuais são essas e de que forma elas ajudam na construção das identidades visuais dessas instituições. Buscou-se também entender como tais identidades se relacionam com os preceitos filosóficos desta pedagogia específica. Nas pesquisas exploratórias realizou-se um levantamento que abordou determinadas escolas particulares na cidade de São Paulo, de modo a se compreender o contexto em que as escolas Waldorf se inserem: um universo que apresenta variedade e exuberância de estilos gráficos. Para esta compreensão, foi necessário classificar estas escolas com critérios relacionados à sua modalidade de administração - escolas autônomas ou componentes de um sistema de ensino com administração central. As instituições também foram classificadas quanto a sua orientação: religiosa, comunitária, \"internacional\" e/ou bilíngue. Finalmente, as escolas foram classificadas quanto à orientação pedagógica/filosófica. Foram feitas então pesquisas bibliográficas acerca dos conceitos e estratégias de marca, marca gráfica, identidade visual e sistemas de identidade visual, como também das teorias que tratam da pedagogia Waldorf e da Antroposofia, um movimento filosófico, criado por Rudolf Steiner, no início do século XX, do qual esta pedagogia é uma aplicação prática. Esta pesquisa é um estudo de casos múltiplos, por envolver várias escolas independentes. Para a constatação das manifestações visuais, foram feitas pesquisas de campo com registros fotográficos em cinco escolas Waldorf, selecionadas na cidade de São Paulo: Escola Waldorf Rudolf Steiner, Colégio Waldorf Micael, Escola Waldorf Francisco de Assis, Escola Waldorf São Paulo e Escola de Resiliência Horizonte Azul. Para a compreensão da relação dessas manifestações visuais com os preceitos filosóficos desta pedagogia, foram realizadas entrevistas com pessoas ligadas à pedagogia Waldorf e à Antroposofia. Este estudo concluiu que muitas escolas desta pedagogia fazem uso de tipografias características da Antroposofia em suas marcas gráficas e que algumas estão instaladas em edifícios, cuja arquitetura é característica da Antroposofia. No entanto, mesmo sem esses elementos identitários da pedagogia Waldorf, as manifestações visuais originadas dos seus preceitos filosóficos ajudam a construir uma identidade visual muito particular, em um processo natural e espontâneo.The visual identity of the Waldorf schools, which are independent units from each other, is built in a different way from that seen in other schools. They have series of spontaneous visual manifestations that make them be recognized as parts of a whole. This qualitative research tries to understand what these visual manifestations are and how they help in the construction of the visual identity of these institutions. It also sought to understand how such identities relate to the philosophical precepts of this specific pedagogy. The exploratory research carried out a survey that addressed certain private schools in the city of São Paulo, in order to understand the context in which the Waldorf schools are included: a universe that has variety and exuberance of graphic styles. For this understanding, it was necessary to classify these schools within criteria related to their administration mode - autonomous schools or components of an education system with central administration. These institutions were also classified according to their orientation: religious, community, \"international\" and / or bilingual. Finally, the schools were classified by educational / philosophical orientation. Then, literature researches were conducted about the concepts and the strategies of brand, graphic brand, visual identity and branding systems, as well as the theories related to Waldorf education and Anthroposophy, a philosophical movement created by Rudolf Steiner at the beginning of the 20th century, of which this pedagogy is a practical application. This research is a study of multiple cases because it involves several independent schools. To verify the visual manifestations, on site researches with photographic records were taken in five Waldorf schools selected in São Paulo city: Escola Waldorf Rudolf Steiner, Colégio Waldorf Michael, Escola Waldorf Francisco de Assis, Escola Waldorf São Paulo and Escola de Resiliência Horizonte Azul. To understand the relationship of these visual manifestations with the philosophical precepts of this pedagogy, interviews were conducted with people connected to the Waldorf education and Anthroposophy. This study found that many schools of this pedagogy make use of type fonts that are characteristic of Anthroposophy in their graphic brands and some are lodged at buildings which architecture is characteristic of Anthroposophy. However, even without these identifying elements of Waldorf education, visual manifestations originating from its philosophical precepts help build a very particular visual identity, in a natural and spontaneous process.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the potential congruencies and complementarities of Waldorf education, Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP), Culturally Responsive Schooling (CRS), Critical Pedagogy and Native American and Indigenous education. Waldorf education, a German education reform developed in the early 1920s, is a little researched schooling system, and previous research on this reform has examined its impacts within its traditional contexts, namely, private schools. At the same time, significant literature exists which addresses the importance and efficacy of reforms for students of color such as those in CRP, CRS and Critical Pedagogy. There is also a body of work which points to key pedagogical components which support Native American/Indigenous students in school. This dissertation examines the interplay between all three of these complex systems by examining attempts to integrate them in the classroom. By examining Waldorf education initiatives in three distinct contexts, I demonstrate that these reforms can work in concert without diminishing the efficacy of any of them. I explore three distinct contexts of Waldorf education. The first examined the impacts of Waldorf education on students who participated in the reform in a private Waldorf school, who transitioned to more traditional, mainstream classes. I conducted participant-observation of a local Waldorf school and in-depth interviews with 14 alumni to explore the impact of this reform. In the second context, I examined how students responded to the use of Waldorf-inspired methods in a community college course I taught, and I investigated their experiences of the reform. Seven students who participated were interviewed in order to investigate the impact of these reforms on their experience as college students. These interviews were complemented by teacher-research I conducted while teaching this Waldorf-inspired course. Finally, I explored the potential of Waldorf education as a reform for Native American students, examining my own incorporation of this reform with other pedagogical tools, such as CRP, CRS, and other forms of critical pedagogy. Included in this section of research are my reflections on a course I instructed with Waldorf-inspired reforms. I also explored various accounts of Waldorf-education reforms by tribal communities, like the Lakota Waldorf School in South Dakota. Several findings from the research conducted here are encouraging. Students from Waldorf school environments demonstrate critical skills and critique schooling environments, invoking stances familiar to critical pedagogues. Students from a Waldorf-inspired community college course were also critical of the typical schooling experiences they had encountered, and spoke of the enriching feeling in their Waldorf-inspired course. Investigation into the philosophical tenets of Waldorf education and Native American/Indigenous epistemologies shows several examples of overlap and similarity, the most striking being elements of spiritual belief and practice as foundational to Native American/Indigenous well-being, and the ability of Waldorf education to address this. While these fields may appear unrelated, this study explores the praxis of these seemingly disparate bodies of work, by examining their similarities and differences. Ultimately, I argue that these reforms can work in concert to support the academic success of culturally and linguistically diverse students and Native American/Indigenous students in particular. The research in these three contexts demonstrates need for further investigation into Waldorf education and its potential to support students of all backgrounds.

The main purpose of this work is to analyze considerations made by 1st grade elementary school teachers, who took part in the "Dom da Palavra" (PDP) ("Gift of the Word") project - a continual education development project based on the Waldorf Pedagogic Educational System as to how contributions offered by the proposed pedagogic teaching concepts could help them in regard to their usual teaching methods. As a project based on teaching methods for which there are few academic works, we intend to present herein an extract of its main fundamental elements together with its pedagogic and theoretical basis, the special elements that constitutes the project s main directive, as well as the theoretical foundation for all faculty continual learning system. A descriptive and analytical study of quantitative and qualitative nature was chosen. To obtain the necessary data, structured questionnaires, structured interviews with written and audio-recorded statements, as well as videotaped interviews and activities for further analysis and interpretation of data, were used. On each of the five municipalities where the project was implemented, more than 70% of attendance was obtained from the 125 teachers who completed the training course - with 102 teachers present whenever those evaluations were made, which represents 81.6% of the participants. Through this analysis, we believe the positive evaluation made by teachers who took part in program Dom da Palavra , answered its questionnaires and interviews, was based on how the proposed concepts and practices responded to those teachers real needs and helped them solve daily problems at school. In addition, the training model presented, on how continual education of teachers must be carried out, was made in accordance with concepts and proposals by several important and academically acknowledged authors.
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar como os professores do 1º ciclo do ensino fundamental, que participaram do Projeto Dom da Palavra (PDP) uma intervenção de formação continuada baseada na Pedagogia Waldorf analisaram as contribuições à sua prática pedagógica proporcionadas pelos conceitos e práticas propostos. Sendo uma intervenção baseada numa linha pedagógica sobre a qual há poucos trabalhos acadêmicos, apresentamos nesta dissertação um resumo dos principais fundamentos e o referencial teórico desta pedagogia, e seus elementos que constituem o conteúdo da intervenção, assim como a fundamentação teórica sobre o aprendizado continuado da docência. Optamos por um estudo descritivoanalítico de natureza quantitativa e qualitativa do material coletado. Para o levantamento dos dados foram utilizados questionários estruturados, entrevistas semiestruturadas e depoimentos escritos e gravados em áudio, assim como entrevistas e atividades gravadas em vídeo, para posterior análise e interpretação dos dados. Nos cinco municípios onde o projeto se realizou, participaram 125 professores considerando os que concluíram o curso com mais de 70% de presença e 102 estiveram presentes nos dias em que se fizeram as avaliações do curso, representando 81,6% dos participantes. A análise nos permitiu concluir que o Projeto Dom da Palavra foi avaliado de forma positiva pelos participantes que responderam aos questionários e entrevistas realizados, porque as práticas e os conceitos trabalhados atenderam a necessidades reais dos professores e ajudaram a resolver problemas do dia a dia escolar. Além disso, o modelo de formação realizado mostrou estar de acordo com os conceitos e propostas, de diversos autores importantes e reconhecidos no meio acadêmico, sobre como deve ser realizada a educação continuada de professores.

En undersökning om leksakerna på en Reggio Emiliainspirerad förskola och en Waldorfförskola presenteras. Frågeställningen syftar till att ta reda på vilket syfte leksakerna har enligt Reggio Emiliafilosofin respektive Waldorfpedagogiken och hur pedagogernas tankar kring leksakernas syfte överensstämmer med detta. Metoden jag valt att använda för att ta reda på detta är kvalitativa intervjuer med sammanlagt åtta pedagoger på två olika förskolor samt litteraturstudier. Resultatet visar att pedagogernas tankar stämmer väl överens med Reggio Emiliafilosofin och Waldorfpedagogikens syfte men att det också finns vissa skillnader.

Den här studien är gjord för att beskriva och analysera skillnaderna och likheterna I bildpedagogiken hos den kommunala och waldorfdrivna skolan. Empirin består av två intervjuer med två rektorer tillika bildlärare i waldorfskolan och en jämförelse mellan styrdokumenten. Resultatet visar på att waldorf lägger mer tid till bild utöver bildundervisningen.This study is made to see the difference and similarities within the art teaching between the county driven schools and the waldorf schools. The first part of the material is two interviews with two principals who is teaching art in waldorf schools. The second part is a comparison of the teaching regulating documents for the both school theories. The result is showing that the waldorf schools is using more time for art teaching outside the art subject.

Arbetet innehåller litteraturstudier och intervjuer, både med lärare som sätter betyg och lärare som skriver personliga omdömen, om lärande och de graderade betygens påverkan på lärande. Det som bl.a. kommer fram i mitt arbete är att betyg påverkar eleverna till ett ytinriktat lärande eftersom strävan att få ett bra betyg överskuggar nöjet att lära sig och insikten om vad lärande är. Den största skillnaden mellan personliga omdömen och betyg verkar vara att omdömen ges för att hjälpa eleven till ökad självinsikt, personlig utveckling och lärande, medan betygen mer är ett mått på hur eleven tillgodogjort sig skolans undervisning. Dessutom framkommer att betyg har en negativ påverkan på självförtroendet hos de elever som har det svårt kunskapsmässigt i den typ av skola vi har idag. För de elever som däremot har lätt för sig men är lata är betygen en sporre till att studera.

Fox, Liza. "How Waldorf early educators teach parents to parent their children during the first seven years." Thesis, California Institute of Integral Studies, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3712312.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores how Waldorf early childhood educators use the theories and practices embedded in Waldorf early childhood education (WECE), which are based on the psycho-spiritual-biological model of development developed by philosopher Rudolf Steiner, to help parents care for their children during their first 7 years. While there is a large body of writing on Waldorf early childhood theory and practice from within the Waldorf community, little has been written in scholarly and academic circles. Seeking to bridge this divide, 12 senior Waldorf early childhood educators who are acknowledged experts in their communities were interviewed. The study gathered information from senior Waldorf early childhood educators through qualitative, semi-structured interviews aimed at understanding the nature of teaching parenting skills that accord with Waldorf early childhood principles. Interview questions were informed by the literature review, which focuses on Steiner’s (2003) developmental theory, Susan Howard’s (2006) outline of early childhood education essentials, and the historical contexts in which these teachings are embedded. All interviews were analyzed using an adaptation of grounded theory methods. Results illuminated 11 major themes to describe how parent educators use the environment and their “being” to offer parent-centered, experiential practices rooted in Anthroposophy that “protect childhood” from impinging cultural conditions and contemporary parenting challenges. Through modeling and relationship with parents and children, parent educators offer a set of parenting skills that support health for families as understood through an Anthroposophical developmental lens. Additionally, parent educators help foster community and attachments such that parents can integrate their learning and begin a path of inner transformation. The study is designed to provide an empirical base to discussions of how Waldorf early education of parents works at the beginning of the 21st century.

Há algumas décadas, estudos vêm sendo desenvolvidos com o intuito de analisar o impacto da mídia, e da publicidade, no desenvolvimento infantil. Entre os alertas sobre o desaparecimento da infância e a euforia provocada pelas possibilidades das novas tecnologias, os Estudos Culturais propõem a discussão do tema sob a ótica de questões como cultura, identidade e poder. Nesse sentido, este trabalho pretende colaborar com o debate ao revisar a bibliografia e observar empiricamente a relação criança, escola e mídia segundo métodos pedagógicos específicos (pedagogia Waldorf, mídia-educação e uso das TICs - Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação - em sala de aula). Os resultados desta investigação refutaram a hipótese inicial de que uma pedagogia que evite ao máximo o contato com os meios eletrônicos pudesse resultar em crianças com um menor consumo de mídia.For some decades, studies have been developed in order to analyze the impact of media and advertising in child development. Among the warnings about the disappearance of childhood and the euphoria caused by the possibilities of new technologies, the Cultural Studies propose to discuss the topic from the perspective of matters such as culture, identity and power. In this way, this work intends to collaborate to the debate by reviewing the literature and empirically observe the relationship between child, school and media according to specific educational methods (Waldorf pedagogy, media education and use of ICTs - information and communication technologies - in the classroom). The results of this investigation disproved initial hypothesis that pedagogy that avoids the most contact with the electronic media could result in children with lower use of media.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar como acontece o ensino de Matemática, em especial a Educação Financeira, em uma escola Waldorf através de um estudo aprofundado da Pedagogia Waldorf e seus fundamentos e, também, da imersão da pesquisadora no contexto educacional. Sendo assim, ele trata de uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo Estudo de Caso. Como referencial teórico, pautamo-nos, fundamentalmente, em Rudolf Steiner para compreender a Pedagogia Waldorf. A pesquisa contou com a realização de um trabalho de campo, em uma escola Waldorf do estado de Minas Gerais, que consistiu em observações participantes das aulas de Matemática de uma turma do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental composta por 20 alunos. Além disso, os dados produzidos e registrados no caderno de campo foram complementados com análise documental, entrevista semiestruturada realizada com a professora e diálogos informais na escola. A análise dos dados revelou e confirmou que o ensino de Matemática, de acordo com a Pedagogia Waldorf, acontece levando em consideração alguns elementos, que são: a estruturação do ensino em épocas, a consideração da etapa evolutiva em que a criança se encontra, o ensino através das artes, vivência, ritmo e repetição, uso do cálculo mental e oral, a metodologia do “ensino em três fases”, flexibilidade para o professor adequar o ensino, inter, multi e transdisciplinaridade sempre que possível, o trabalho com os temperamentos, dentre outros. O ensino levando em consideração esses elementos faz com que as crianças desenvolvam o querer, o sentir e o pensar de forma equilibrada, que é um dos princípios da Pedagogia Waldorf. A Educação Financeira foi trabalhada dentro de uma das épocas de Matemática do 6º ano escolar, intitulada “Vida Econômica e Financeira”. O estudo é muito amplo em sua proposta e alcance, e não se reduz apenas à prática de cálculos e ao estudo das finanças pessoais e atitudes financeiras. Como fruto desta pesquisa e com a intenção de direcionar os professores, foi produzida uma sugestão pedagógica para a Educação Financeira no 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental.
This research is about a study of Waldorf Schools’ Financial Education method through an in-depth investigation and the author’s immersion. The paper presents a qualitative case study. We used Rudolf Steiner literature as a reference for Waldorf Education method. The research includes a fieldwork in a Waldorf School, located in Minas Gerais (Brazil), based on participative observation in Mathematics classes of a 6th grade Elementary School, composed by 20 students. Besides, collected and registered workbook data were assembled by bibliography study, teachers interview and informal chats in school. The data analysis revealed and confirmed that Math instruction, as state Waldorf Pedagogy, happens taking into consideration some elements, as such: Teaching structured in seasons, considering child evolutionary stage, education through arts, experience, rhythmic movements and repetition, mental and oral calculation, methodology “teaching in three steps”, inter, multi and transdisciplinarity as many as possible, dealing with different tempers, etc. A teaching considering those elements allows students to develop the thinking, feeling and willing in a balanced way. Financial Education subject was taught during a season in 6th grade, named “Financial and Economic Life”. It is very broad in its proposal and scope, not restraint only to calculation practices and to personal financial studies and attitudes. As a result of this research, a pedagogical suggestion grounded on Waldorf Education is presented for Financial Education within 6th grade Elementary School.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines twelve teachers’ experiences of evaluation of their own practices and explores these teachers’ beliefs about the value of these evaluations in terms of their continuing professional growth. It investigates the purposes and procedures for evaluating teachers and analyzes the results of evaluations in the context of a Waldorf school. Within Waldorf schools, teachers are responsible for identifying standards of good teaching and for implementing evaluation tools for themselves. The accountability measures they designed in this school were intended for educational quality control, to provide direction for continuing professional development, and to determine their continuing employment. The underlying assumptions in conducting these evaluations were that teachers’ work could be fruitfully evaluated, that student achievement was effected by teachers’ skills, and that teachers could and should develop their skills through continuing professional development.
Interviews, field notes, focus group conversation, and school documents provided my research data. My central questions addressed evaluation through the participants’ experiences and identified the results they distinguished as valuable or not valuable. I interviewed teachers who had been evaluated and the teachers responsible for overseeing evaluations. Some participants had a dual role and fit both categories. The parameters of this study were limited to single interviews with the twelve teachers who volunteered.
The data analysis identified four dimensions of the teacher evaluation practices that participants recognized as worthwhile. These were self-evaluation, work with skilled evaluators, positive recognition by peers and others, and support provided for continuing professional development. Most participants found value in the evaluation experiences despite initial feelings of anxiety and fear. Outcomes for most included increased confidence and motivation resulting from positive encounters that effected participants’ senses of identity and self worth. This study investigates the value of each dimension of this four-part evaluation process for teachers’ professional growth and development.

Children education in Lithuania is undergoing a period of intense changes. Along with changes, many innovations are being introduced. Waldorf pedagogic is one of most successful innovations introduced past few years. According to the creator of Waldorf pedagogic, Rudolph Steiner, education should be considered as a kind of art, based on knowledge of human psychology. According to him, any kind of education or schooling should be based on stimulation of creativity and artistic taste, ability to feel and understand the inner self as well as people and surroundings around, also on the knowledge of surrounding nature. In the system of Waldorf pedagogic ideal pupil becomes the one that is able of thinking and creating, at the same time improving his or her knowledge of surroundings and inner self and adjusting to quickly changing circumstances. That means a person able to adopt innovations and to use them in everyday professional activities.

Abstract: In Physical Education classes, we may have conflicts among students, such as lack of respect, bullying, lack of empathy, physical and verbal aggression, intolerance and, other problems related to inappropriate behavior in this environment. The family and school staff's concern about these issues makes us look for different ways to work, not only cognitive learning but also the social and emotional aspect. Regarding this and trying to get to know different approaches to work with moral values, we interviewed Physical Education teachers from Public and Waldorf schools from two cities in the countryside of São Paulo. That way, in this research we aim to analyze the moral development of students according to the Physical Education teachers' understanding in these contexts, regarding a) show how students learn moral values in Physical Education classes in the public system and Waldorf school; b) ascertain the challenges and/or confrontations in the students' moral formation and; c) ascertain pedagogical practices that differ in the formation of moral values. It is qualitative research and for data collection, and it was used a semi-structured interview as a research instrument. The data was analyzed concerning the literature review and according to the content analysis. We found in the scope of the research that Physical Education teachers try to work students' moral development, but there may be some factors to contribute to greater outcomes; such as the teacher's connection to t...

Full textAbstract:
A presente pesquisa discute as contribuições do pensamento filosófico-estético e pedagógico de Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) e da Rítmica de Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950) para os processos de ensino-aprendizagem em Música no contexto escolar, especialmente no período compreendido entre 7 e 14 anos de idade. A partir da pesquisa bibliográfica dos textos de ambos os autores, abarcando conferências, publicações e artigos, o trabalho consistiu, primeiramente, em sintetizar alguns conceitos fundamentais para a Antroposofia, ciência do espírito que Rudolf Steiner elaborou no início do século XX, como ampliação do campo de conhecimento das ciências naturais. Steiner adota a cosmovisão de Goethe e Schiller, bem como seu método cognitivo contemplativo, como alternativa ao materialismo mecanicista do pensamento cartesiano. O estudo revela a correspondência entre os pensamentos de Rudolf Steiner e Émile Jaques-Dalcroze em muitos aspectos, comprovando a hipótese da possibilidade de um fecundo diálogo e mútua complementação entre os dois contemporâneos. Dalcroze, em sentido inverso ao de Steiner, parte da observação e da intuição sobre sua experiência prática como docente de Música, compositor e intérprete, para a elaboração de uma filosofia estético-pedagógica. Dalcroze criou a Rítmica como um método ou um caminho para o desenvolvimento de uma escuta criativa, com o corpo inteiro, encontrando a musicalidade na expressão gestual e no movimento corporal. Ambos os autores apresentam uma concepção expandida de ritmo como princípio que urde toda a vida e toda arte, essencial a todo o processo educativo. Eles ainda trazem múltiplas contribuições importantes para a reflexão sobre a prática pedagógica em Música na atualidade, especialmente no tangente à arte de educar pelo ritmo, em que a improvisação e o aspecto lúdico potencializam a expressão criativa em aula. A dialética entre liberdade e estrutura, integrando escuta e corpo pela respiração e o movimento, e a concepção integrada das artes, como processos estésicos e poiéticos complexos, estendem a sua importância à apreciação dos repertórios modernos e pós-modernos na Educação Musical contemporânea.This research discusses the contributions of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner\'s (1861-1925) philosophical, aesthetic and pedagogical thought and of Austrian-Swiss musician, composer and music educator Émile Jaques-Dalcroze\'s (1865-1950) Eurythmics to the Music teaching-learning process in elementary and secondary school, especially concerning children between 7 and 14 years of age. Based on bibliographical research comprehending original texts - papers and books - and conferences, this work aims at, first of all, providing a synthesis of some concepts that are fundamental to Anthroposophy - a spiritual science founded by Rudolf Steiner at the beginning of the XXth. century and intended to be an expansion of natural science\'s scope of knowledge. Steiner adopts Goethe\'s and Schiller\'s artistic cosmovision and their cognition method, founded on contemplative observation of nature, as an alternative for the mechanical philosophy of Cartesian materialism. The study shows the many matching aspects of Steiner\'s and Dalcroze\'s thoughts, showing that it is possible to establish a prolific and mutual complementary dialogue between these two contemporaries, given that the latter followed the inverse path of the former toward his aesthetic and pedagogical philosophy, taking as starting point an intuitive approach of his own practical experience as Music teacher, composer and performer. Dalcroze created the Eurhytmics as a method or way to develop creative listening with the whole body, finding musicality in gestural expression and body movement. Both authors present an expanded conception of rhythm as the essence of life, that which unites all the arts and should be a component of every educational process. They also bring great contributions to the consciousness about pedagogical practices in Music at present, specially concerning the art of education through rhythm, taking improvisation and its playful nature as resources to enhance the creative expression in class. The dialectics between freedom and structure, integrating listening to the body as a whole through breathing and movement, as well as their integrated conception of Arts as a complex aesthetic and poetic process expand its importance toward the appreciation of modern and postmodern repertoires in the contemporary Musical Education.

Full textAbstract:
Waldorf pedagogy emerged from anthroposophy and has the same founder, Rudolf Steiner. Because of this, there are some researchers and public debaters who discuss how and in what ways Waldorf pedagogy is shaped by anthroposophy. When these sources suggest that Waldorf education is characterized by anthroposophy, one can wonder if the school subjects in Waldorf schools may also be characterized by anthroposophy. As a future teacher of religion, I would like to see if religious education (RE) at Waldorf schools is characterized by anthroposophy, partly because of my own interest and edification, and partly to elevate and give room for teachers of religion in Waldorf schools, since it has not happened before. This essay examines if RE in Waldorf schools is characterized by anthroposophy through looking at what kind of teaching materials are used in RE and if teachers of religion are anthroposophists. This essay is based on a qualitative method that focuses on interviews with seven teachers of religion in five different Waldorf schools in Stockholm. In view of the collected material, every respondent stated that RE could be shaped by an anthroposophical view of the human being if the teacher of religion chooses to use the curriculum of Waldorf schools. Whereas the curriculum is characterized by anthroposophy with its perspective on human development stages, RE in Waldorf schools could also be influenced by it if the teacher of religion chooses to use as a part of the education.

Full textAbstract:
Urban educational environments struggle to offer green space and natural light to their students. Studies have shown that exposure to natural elements, such as natural light, ventilation and vegetation improves student performance and concentration. The Waldorf School understands a child's innate need for natural learning; making it a natural choice when studying design options that integrating nature into the educational environment. The emphasis on nature based learning in the curriculum leads Waldorf to be the perfect school to test the boundaries of what is possible in urban educational environments. The project integrates nature into an urban adaptive re-use school environment, through use of natural lighting, access to green areas, and sustainable materials. The site is a total of 30,000 square feet, evenly separated between two floors and a roof garden. The site was built in 1923, as an automobile storage facility and straddles the boundary between an industrial neighborhood and a historic residential neighborhood. Through use of the Waldorf principles and architecture, an educational environment infused with natural rhythms and access to nature will be realized. Through the research conducted on various site, program and process case studies, investigation of architectural options and a thorough understanding of the needs of a Waldorf school, the project develops a prototype to be used in other urban schools.The work considers the possibilities in urban educational environments to integrate natural elements in the architecture for the benefit of students and teachers; creating a design example for both Waldorf and public educational environments.

Many American preschool children enter kindergarten without the emergent literacy skills needed to learn to read. To address this problem, this multicase qualitative study investigated the emergent literacy practices at Steiner Waldorf-inspired and Reggio Emilia-inspired schools. The research questions focused on how alternative preschool philosophies help staff cultivate emergent literacy skills in young children. The conceptual framework came from Piaget's cognitive development theory, and Vygotsky's sociocultural theory. The study included eight participants from two Reggio Emilia-inspired and two Steiner Waldorf-inspired preschools. Data were collected through open-ended interviews, observations, and analyses of de-identified student work, then subjected to thematic cross-case analysis. Regarding the role of the two philosophies in the development of emergent literacy skills, findings indicated that teachers cited the philosophies leading them to honor their students, focus on the development of the whole child, and act as facilitators for children's oral language development through play. Regarding how program staff apply their program philosophies to creating emergent literacy through the learning environment key, the findings showed that both Steiner Waldorf-inspired and Reggio Emilia-inspired staff viewed the environment as another teacher. Reggio Emilia-inspired staff carefully organized the indoor and outdoor learning environments to provide numerous opportunities for authentic experiences and play, while Waldorf-inspired staff was more likely to draw from nature itself to create opportunities for imaginary play. When children start school with a solid foundation in emergent literacy, they are more likely to be successful readers.

Esta pesquisa analisa a expressão artística dos alunos de uma escola Waldorf da cidade de São Paulo SP Brasil, com o objetivo de compreender a estreita ligação entre arte e sensibilidade que se apresenta enquanto caminho para a harmonização da alma humana e a contribuição da arte para o desenvolvimento da razão, da intuição, da emoção e do sentimento. Isto pode ser comprovado pela produção elaborada pelos alunos, interpretada e compreendida a partir das atividades especificas do cotidiano escolar com o aporte teórico de autores que buscam entender o ser humano através do equilíbrio entre sensibilidade e razão. A pesquisa apóia-se teoricamente na Antroposofia de Rudolf Steiner para o estudo da utilização pedagógica da arte; na cosmovisão cientifica e artística de Johann Wolfgang Goethe e na sua Doutrina das Cores; n A Educação Estética do Homem de Friedrich Schiller; na Psicologia Analítica de Carl Gustav Jung; na transformação alquímica através da imaginação ativa utilizada por Jung. O referencial teórico dos autores transita no eixo existente entre o consciente e o inconsciente, entre a razão e a sensibilidade, entre o sensível e o inteligível. A contribuição final é a reflexão sobre a utilização prática dos procedimentos artísticos e sua influência sobre o desenvolvimento cognitivo e a aquisição de conhecimento que conduz ao equilíbrio entre razão e sensibilidade.This research analyses the artistic expression of students in a Waldorf school at the city of São Paulo SP Brazil, in order to comprehend the close connection between art and sensitivity that shows itself as a path to develop reason, intuition, emotion and feeling. This can be proof by the production elaborated by the students, interpreted and comprehended from the specific everyday school activities with the theory support of Rudolf Steiners Anthroposophy for the study of the pedagogical utilization of art; in the scientific and artistic cosmovision of Johann Wolfgang Goethe and his Doctrine of Colors; in the Aesthetic Education of Man of Friedrich Schiller; in the analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung; in the alchemy transformation by means of active imagination used by Jung. The theoretical references of the authors circulate in the axis existent between conscious and unconscious, between reason and sensitivity, between the sensitive and the intelligible. The final contribution is the reflection about practical utilization of artistic procedures and their influences on cognitive development and the knowledge acquirement that leads to balance between reason and sensitivity.

Full textAbstract:
During the last few years Enterprise Architecture has received increasing attention among industry and academia. Enterprise Architecture (EA) can be defined as (i) a formal description of the current and future state(s) of an organisation, and (ii) a managed change between these states to meet organisation’s stakeholders’ goals and to create value to the organisation. By adopting EA, organisations may gain a number of benefits such as better decision making, increased revenues and cost reductions, and alignment of business and IT. To increase the performance of public sector operations, and to improve public services and their availability, the Finnish Parliament has ratified the Act on Information Management Governance in Public Administration in 2011. The Act mandates public sector organisations to start adopting EA by 2014, including Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Despite the benefits of EA and the Act, EA adoption level and maturity in Finnish HEIs are low. This is partly caused by the fact that EA adoption has been found to be difficult. Thus there is a need for a solution to help organisations to adopt EA successfully. This thesis follows Design Science (DS) approach to improve traditional EA adoption method in order to increase the likelihood of successful adoption. First a model is developed to explain the change resistance during EA adoption. To find out problems associated with EA adoption, an EA-pilot conducted in 2010 among 12 Finnish HEIs was analysed using the model. It was found that most of the problems were caused by misunderstood EA concepts, attitudes, and lack of skills. The traditional EA adoption method does not pay attention to these. To overcome the limitations of the traditional EA adoption method, an improved EA Adoption Method (EAAM) is introduced. By following EAAM, organisations may increase the likelihood of successful EA adoption. EAAM helps in acquiring the mandate for EA adoption from top-management, which has been found to be crucial to success. It also helps in supporting individual and organisational learning, which has also found to be essential in successful adoption.

Full textAbstract:
The notion of building sustainable schoolhouses is catching hold amongst school professionals and designers. But gaps exist in the understanding of what that means.
This dissertation emerges from a problem of practice identified from an educator's practitioner perspective, involving lack of clarity around the notion of sustainability as central to a school design and construction initiative. The study revolves around the central design question, "What is a pattern language appropriate for the development of a sustainable schoolhouse?" It goes further, to analyze the gaps and overlaps in three professional groups of experts and their understanding of design patterns for inclusion in the pattern language. The conceptual framework uses a broad-based definition of sustainability. The review of literature relies on a framework utilizing a twin focus—on design and on sustainability—to finally examine sustainable design. The study uses a multi-pronged, three round Delphi Method process to elicit design patterns from experts in three professional groups associated with building sustainable K-12 school facilities: educators, designers, and ecologists. It employs a W coefficient of concordance to seek objective accord amongst members of the three professional groups in terms of their respective selection of design patterns for inclusion, and subsequent ordinal rankings of the design patterns. The products of the study are: a Master Pattern Language consisting of 44 design patterns, three professional-group sub-lists that illustrate key similarities and differences between and amongst the professional groups, and a statistical analysis of the relative concordance within each professional group. The dissertation then provides analysis of the findings in light of the potential utility of the results, especially as potential tools for future school design efforts.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine which of the two methods is more appropriate to teach pitch discrimination to Grade 6 choral students to improve sight-singing note accuracy. This study consisted of three phases: pre-testing, instruction and post-testing. During the four week study, the experimental group received training using the Kodaly method while the control group received training using the traditional method. The pre and post tests were evaluated by three trained musicians. The analysis of the data utilized an independent t-test and a paired t-test with the methods of teaching (experimental and control) as a factor. Quantitative results suggest that the experimental subjects, those receiving Kodaly instruction at post-treatment showed a significant improvement in the pitch accuracy than the control group. The specific change resulted in the Kodaly method to be more effective in producing accurate pitch in sight-singing.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the problem solving method applied to a self-instructional material in nutrition education.
A comparative evaluation design was employed to determine the value of a problem solving model reflected in a commercially developed material, referred to as the 'Calcium Calculator'. Data were collected using a quasi-experimental randomized group pretest, posttest research design. A panel of judges then evaluated the impact of the problem solving method in nutrition education.
Three research questions were generated for the purpose of this study. The first involved comparing impacts produced by the two forms of the 'Calcium Calculator'. Measures of impact, selected based on learner objectives of the 'Calcium Calculator', were learners': attitudes toward dietary calcium and osteoporosis; perception of problem solving ability and self-reported dietary calcium intake.
The second research question was posed to investigate the nature of relationships between learners' levels of self-esteem and measures of instructional impact. Influences of selected biodemographic variables on change in the measures of impact were explored in the third research question.
Eighteen groups of women (n=241) from community centres were randomly assigned to one of three intervention groups: Groups A and B were exposed to active problem solving methods while group C viewed a film, a passive information-oriented instructional technique. The latter group was included in.the study since active learning was hypothesized to result in greater impact than passive learning. Pretest data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and food intake form. Posttest data were collected an average of 4.7 weeks later using a modification of the pretest questionnaire which included a self-esteem scale, along with the food intake form. Forty-four percent of women (n=l06) who completed pretest questionnaires returned for the posttest session.
Participants in all three intervention groups experienced increases in attitude scores from pre- to posttest, and these changes were significant within groups B and C. Perceptions of problem solving ability were maintained within intervention groups B and C, yet decreased significantly within intervention group A. Significant increases in self-reported dietary calcium intakes occurred in all three intervention groups among non-pregnant women whose pretest dietary calcium intakes were below their Recommended Nutrient Intake.
Impacts produced by form A and B of the 'Calcium Calculator' were significantly different on only one dependent variable: perception of problem solving ability (p≤0.05). Changes in the dependent variables produced by problem solving versus non-problem solving interventions were not significantly different. Changes in dietary calcium intake and attitude toward dietary calcium and osteoporosis were not significantly correlated with self-esteem levels. However, positive significant correlations were identified between learners' levels of self-esteem and change in learners' perceptions of their problem solving ability (p≤0.0l).
Measures of impact were infrequently influenced by the biodemographic variables. Of the associations that were identified, most involved dietary characteristics of participants. Yet change in perception of problem solving ability was also affected by a combination of three demographic variables: age, employment status and education.
A panel of users (n=9) of educational materials was asked to make judgements on selected study results. Although judges did not distinguish between impacts produced by the two problem solving materials, they acknowledged that: (1) an important relationship exists between self-esteem and learners' perceptions of their problem solving ability and (2) the problem solving method is valuable when directed to specific kinds of learners.
The quasi-experimental research design used in this study appeared appropriate for the evaluation of innovative instructional methods. Two main advantages of the design were its comparative nature and its use of a panel of experts to judge the relative effectiveness of both forms of the 'Calcium Calculator' as well as the value of the problem solving method and self-esteem in material design.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis, can academic advising, based on the adult learning characteristics of andragogy, be an effective advising approach in assisting undergraduate students in their developmental learning, decision making strategies, and transition and adaptation into a university. This study examined two groups, each with ten graduating seniors, who were advised in the advising center of a large public institution of higher education in the Southwest. One student group was advised in the university's conventional advising manner; the second group was advised using the Advising Learning Method of Andragogy or ALMA. The methodology used to examine the hypothesis was done in the following manner: The quantitative stage, consisting of the ALMA Likert student survey and ALMA and Non-ALMA student group grade point average chart. These findings demonstrated an initial grade point average difference between the ALMA and Non-ALMA groups favoring the Non-ALMA group. While both groups improved their mean grade point average, the ALMA group's grade point average improved at a consistent pace as these students transitioned into the university, with both groups' mean grade point average reaching near convergence after five years. The qualitative stage, the survey and interview findings revealed that the ALMA and Non-ALMA groups were similar in their views that the university's large size, bureaucratic complexity, and limited advising resources had adverse effects on their success and sense of participation within the university community. The ALMA and Non-ALMA groups differed in several respects. The Non-ALMA group frequently mentioned the importance of outside support of family, friends, high school advisors, the use and retrieval of prior learned skills, and peer competition, while the ALMA group did not. The ALMA group frequently mentioned the importance of university OAS advising, technology, and study skills acquired at the university, while the Non-ALMA group did not. ALMA advising is not merely a change in the perspective method undergraduates use to access advising. ALMA represents a shift in the paradigm and approach taken in advising, which focuses on facilitating the development of the student's problem-solving skills and decision-making strategies.
