Öz

Waldorf eğitimi Almanya'da eşsiz bir reform hareketi olarak 1919'da başlamıştır. Waldorf eğitiminin temelleri Avusturyalı düşünür ve bilim adamı olan Rudolf Steiner'ın ruhsal-bilimsel araştırmalarına dayanır. Steiner'ın okullarında öncelik duygusal-ruhsal gelişimin desteklenmesi daha sonra bilginin öğretimi olmalıdır. Waldorf eğitiminde  öğretmenin görevi çocuğun psikomotor, duygusal ve zihinsel alanda baskın olan yeteneğinin farkına varmasını sağlamaktır.
