A importância da ludicidade para o desenvolvimento humano segundo a pedagogia Waldorf: uma revisão bibliográfica dos periódicos da federação das escolas Waldorf do Brasil

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to discuss the importance of ludicity for human development, according to the Waldorf Pedagogy. With this objective, a bibliographical review was carried out of the works present in the 77 editions of the Periodical Project, published by the Federation of Waldorf Schools of Brazil (FEWB) between the years 2002 to 2019 that contemplated the theme. Keywords related to concepts related to playfulness were delimited for the selection of titles in which they were discussed and analyzed. Based on that, twenty productions were selected distributed in the 3rd and 35th editions, published between 2002 and 2007, using the keywords: “play, playing, toy, fantasy and imagination”. As no productions were found that contained the words “playful” and “playfulness” in their title, the concept of ludicity was analyzed from the perspective of “playing, fantasy and imagination”. Such concepts were analyzed and discussed in the development of this research. With this methodology, it was possible to recognize the main bibliographic characteristics, as well as to understand the meaning and importance of each of the concepts studied as recreational activities for human development, according to the authors of Anthroposophy and Waldorf Pedagogy. Keywords: Ludicity; Play; Fantasy; Imagination; Waldorf Pedagogy.
