Materials and Toys in the Waldorf Preschool Education Concept

Waldorfska pedagogija utemeljena je na odgoju i obrazovanju čovjeka u cijelini te najvažnijim smatra obrazovanje misaonih sposobnosti, praktičnih iskustava i bogatstva kreativnosti u čemu dijete ostvaruje optimalni razvoj. Cilj waldorfske pedagogije je razvoj slobodne ličnosti koja samu sebe određuje te koja je sposobna živjeti u društvu. Temelji se na antropozofskom duhovnom pogledu na svijet. Čovjeka se promatra kao biće tijela, duše i duha, koje se neprestano razvija, a dijete kao biće koje do svoje odraslosti i zrelosti prolazi faze razvoja svijesti koje je čovječanstvo prolazilo tijekom svoje evolucije. Odgojitelj snosi veliku odgovornost u prvom sedmogodišnjem razdoblju te mora biti dobar uzor da bi ga djeca mogla oponašati. Waldorfska pedagogija polazi od stava da je svaki odgoj u svojoj osnovi samoodgoj čovjeka, pa je u tom kontekstu zadaća odgojitelja ne dirati u djetetovo Ja, već osigurati uvjete da njegova individualnost i unutarnja snaga postanu vidljivi. Waldorfska pedagogija njeguje djetetov osjećajni život, razvija radne i stvaralačke navike, snaži volju i interese te priprema za život.Waldorf pedagogy is based on the education of man as a whole, is considered the most important education thinking skills, practical experience and wealth of creativity in which the child achieves optimal development. The aim of Waldorf pedagogy is the development of free personality, self-determined and which is capable of living in society. Based on the anthroposophic spiritual view of the world. A man is seen as being of body, soul and spirit, which is constantly evolving, and the child as a being to his adulthood and maturity through the development phase of the awareness that humanity has passed during its evolution. Educator bears a great responsibility in the first seven-year period, be a good role model to make it children can emulate. Waldorf pedagogy is based on the view that every education is basically self-education of man, but in this context, the task of educators do not touch the child I already provide conditions for its individuality and inner strength to become visible. Waldorf pedagogy fosters the child's emotional life, work and develop creative habits, strengthens the will and interests and prepare for life
