| Tema: |
Steiner, Rudolf, 1861-1925. Waldorf method of education. |
| Descripción: | This thesis addresses the question of identity from the perspective of Rudolf Steiner and Waldorf Education attempting to make a connection between Steiner's theory of self development in relation to the spiritual world, and the postmodern concept of identity. Fundamentally, what matters in education for Steiner is how knowledge is introduced in such a way as to become organic, developing with the growth of the students, so that they can learn to think creatively and imaginatively. The holistic and artistic approach which Waldorf Education takes seems to succeed in developing students' identity in a way that the students can connect strongly and meaningfully with the community, society, and the universe. The thesis explores the philosophy and strategies adopted in Waldorf Education in its goal of developing the self and identity. In addition, the study examines the benefits which Waldorf Education can provide to contemporary public education and identifies the challenges it faces in the postmodern context. |
