Waldorf Education: An all-round, balanced approach to education that is equally concerned with intellectual-cognitive and artistic-creative learning. A practice- and experience-based pedagogy. Non-selective and open to all children and young people; offering a stress-free, secure learning environment across 12 grades; embedded in a community of students, teachers, and parents. An alternative education that has been successfully practiced for over a century. The first Waldorf School was founded in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1919. Today, Waldorf Education is practiced in all countries and cultures around the world: in over 1,000 schools, more than 2,000 kindergartens, and numerous centers for spec...
Education, spirituality and creativity help to navigate possible courses of action, in a life marked by commercialization and loss of meaning. Education that promotes knowledge and managing information while neglecting autonomous cognition and creative action can be found everywhere. On the other hand, education, spirituality and creativity are essential for a life led with awareness, empathy and criticism that are reflected upon in the present anthology by authors from Brazil and Europe. They inspire new educational approaches and encourage immersing oneself in undefined and uncertain phenomena.The Editors
There are many books on foreign language teaching - this book is different because it focuses on the learner and the learning process. It starts from the social nature of interactive learning and locates learning in a community of learners, one of whom is the teacher. The conditions for lasting learning in the foreign language are the basis for the teaching methods. These aim to provide a rich and shared learning context, offer individualised support and scaffolding for learning and make the language the medium for learning what learners are interested in as developing persons. It makes teachers into reflective researchers of their practice, thus ensuring that teaching is an art, a craft and...
This collection brings together approaches to the teacher education and preparation curriculum that may be described as holistic. It also discusses teacher education curricula that are reconstructionist and reconceptualist in nature, seeking to shift the trajectory of society through teacher education. The book serves as an introductory text for the field of holistic curriculum studies, and will open it up to a wider audience.
The first edition of this work became a standard reference work in the general context of humanistic approaches to foreign language teaching and learning. This new edition gives a brief overview of further developments in relevant fields and discusses the importance of the concept of teaching as an art in light of the increasing standardization and digitalization of education. Reviews of the 1st edition I believe that the book will become a standard reference point for all those who, against the current tide of 'scientific', objectives-based, test-oriented, control-obsessed, sterile approaches to language teaching, continue to believe that language teaching is indeed an art, and a joyful art at that. Prof. Dr. Alan Maley in English Language Teaching Journal Peter Lutzker is a major educational thinker and has spent half an earthly span living towards this major book. (...) I have placed Peter's book on my shelves next to those of Rogers, Curran, Dufeu and Stevick. Mario Rinvolucri in Humanising Language Teaching
Ausgehend von den sozialen und zeitdiagnostischen Überlegungen Rudolf Steiners rekonstruiert Leonhard Weiss Konzepte und Praxen der Waldorfpädagogik aus der Perspektive einer philosophischen "Theorie der Anerkennung". Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Waldorfpädagogik als eine konkrete Ausgestaltung einer "Pädagogik der Anerkennung" verstanden werden kann. Damit eröffnet die Studie nicht nur neue Interpretationsmöglichkeiten einer der erfolgreichsten reformpädagogischen Bewegungen, sondern stellt zugleich auch einen Beitrag zum Diskurs über "Anerkennung" als wichtiger bildungstheoretischer Kategorie dar.
Soziale und technologische Veränderungen stellen auch in der Pädagogik scheinbare Sicherheiten in Frage. Welche Bedeutung kommt etwa LehrerInnen in Zeiten digitaler Lernhilfen noch zu? Vor dem Hintergrund von Phänomenen wie sozialer Beschleunigung, Ökonomisierung und Digitalisierung gehen die AutorInnen der Relevanz der Lehrerpersonalität in der pädagogischen Beziehung nach und untersuchen die Voraussetzungen und Möglichkeiten, der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung in der Lehrerbildung. Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven werden dabei Grundlagen, Aspekte und Möglichkeiten einer personalen Pädagogik skizziert und diskutiert.
Für Lehramtsstudierende der Waldorfpädagogik Waldorfpädagogik bildet die Selbstverantwortung der Lehrenden in allen unterrichtlichen und erzieherischen Belangen. Waldorfspezifische Lehr-Lernmethoden, pädagogische Beziehung, Lerndiagnostik, indirekte Medienpädagogik, Lehrplankonzept und Ethik gründen in der Ich- Anthropologie Rudolf Steiners. Lernen in einer heterogenen Gemeinschaft gelingt, wenn Lehrende ihr pädagogisches Handeln auf die individuellen Möglichkeiten der Lernenden ausrichten. Schule auch als ästhetischer Lebensraum kann vielfältige und soziale Erfahrungen ermöglichen. Das Studienbuch systematisiert den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu Geschichte, Sozialgestalt, Didaktik, Anthropologie und Handlungsfeldern der Waldorf-Schulpädagogik.
