2 Media competency and Waldorf education<br />
Waldorf education very deliberately<br />
makes use of the opportunities offered<br />
by the different periods of life and<br />
developmental phases which young<br />
people pass through in the course of<br />
growing up. Accordingly the curriculum<br />
is an artistic synthesis which is<br />
constantly developing; but at the<br />
same time it also watches out to discover<br />
new skills and strengths which<br />
each pupil can acquire in the course<br />
of their schooling by various means.<br />
It is the purpose of this publication<br />
to show that Waldorf education can<br />
contribute crucial perspectives for<br />
the development of a developmentoriented<br />
media education.<br />
What does that mean for daily<br />
teaching practice? What is the relationship<br />
between the new challenges<br />
and proven Waldorf traditions?<br />
From what age should we deal<br />
specifically and consciously with<br />
electronic media? How can they<br />
be used meaningfully and creatively<br />
in lessons? What skills are important<br />
in the use of media and when is<br />
the basis for them laid?<br />
The present brochure is intended<br />
particularly for pre-school teachers<br />
and teachers, but it can also be understood<br />
by interested parents and pupils<br />
because it largely avoids the use of<br />
specialist terminology. It goes without<br />
saying that this outline is a work in<br />
progress which has to keep developing.<br />
Above all, it wishes to give encouragement<br />
to the pre-school teachers<br />
and teachers who are actively<br />
seeking to grapple with one of the<br />
great educational challenges<br />
of our time.<br />
