About aesthetic learning processes as tools at Waldorf Schools (English)
Abstract [en]

This study aims to examine and highlight the use of aesthetic learning processes as tools in education at Waldorf schools. It focuses on how teachers implement aesthetic learning processes in their instruction and the effects the teachers believe these processes have on students understanding and development. The background presents the key concepts of the study: aesthetic learning processes, aesthetics, art education, learning and development within schools, Lgr22 (the Swedish national curriculum), Waldorf pedagogy, and En väg till frihet (a Waldorf curriculum resource).Based on John Deweys pragmatic ideas of learning and aesthetics, along with David Kolb's theories of knowledge and learning styles, the study examines how teachers utilize aesthetic learning processes and identifies associated challenges and opportunities. The research use a qualitative text analysis of two curriculums and interview with two teachers as combined methods. The result reveals that integrating aesthetic learning processes makes instruction more meaningful for students, helping them acquire subject knowledge and understand themselves and the world. By utilizing different learning styles and integrating various subjects, a holistic learning experience is created. By examining the integration of aesthetic learning processes, this study adds to our understanding of how these processes can make education more meaningful for students and teachers. This research expands our knowledge of the implementation and impact of aesthetic learning processes in Waldorf education, offering valuable insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers seeking to enhance teaching and learning practices.
