THE APPLICATION OF WALDORF EDUCATIONAL ALTERNATIVE PRINCIPLES WITH THE AIM OF DEVELOPING LITERACY IN THE FOUNDATIONAL ACQUISITION CYCLE

Abstract

Waldorf pedagogy stands out as an alternative that facilitates the learning process through its distinctive, slower approach, aligned with the natural development rhythm of the child. As a result, literacy development is based on students' innate curiosity and fosters a growing interest in reading and writing. This paper aimed to identify Waldorf alternative principles that teachers in traditional education can successfully integrate into the literacy process of students in the foundational acquisition cycle to optimize the instructional-educational process.
