借助艺术及艺术化的方式实施儿童读写教育——鲁道夫·斯坦纳儿童早期读写教育思想研究

Literacy Education Through Art and Artistic Activity——Rudolf Steiner's Thoughts on Early Childhood Literacy Education

斯坦纳是闻名世界的华德福教育体系的创始人。基于教育要使人的身体、心灵及精神都得以协调发展的人智学理论,在儿童的早期读写教育上,他坚持在幼儿获得识字技能的初始阶段,要通过诵读、韵律舞等方式增强幼儿对语言的体验和感受;强调由图像和图形入手而不是直接传授字母的发音来开始文字及读写教育;主张用丰富的童话故事和诗歌来滋养幼儿的想象力和创造性等等,与我们目前的幼儿语言教育理念及实践迥然有异。

Rudolf Steiner is the founder of worldly famous Waldorf Education System. His thoughts on early education are based on the anthroposophy theory, which insists that education should promote the harmonious development of human body, soul and spirit. In his opinion, it is important to children language education through drawing, painting and writing letter at the initial stage of literacy abilities development. The other way of literacy development for young children is through language experience and feelings by their own artistic activities, such as rhythm and eurhythmy, and using rich fairy tales and poetry to nourish children＇s imagination and creativity and so on, instead of imparting directly letters and words.
