人智學創始者魯道夫•斯泰納所建立的華德福學校近年來受到國際的重視，包括1996年聯合國教科文組織公開對此教育系統表示讚揚與支持。在臺灣，這股華德福教育運動也在15年前萌芽，並且有蓬勃發展之勢。本研究文獻探討以人智學教育理念的內涵，歌德思想對於斯泰納人智學教育理念的影響以及美感教育在華德福教育上的運用，作爲此研究的理論架構依據，並以國內一所華德福教育系統的托兒所爲例，作爲理論的實踐應證。研究者在探究斯泰納受歌德思想影響的過程中，發現以美學的觀念最爲明顯。受到歌德影響，斯泰納強調，藝術化的美感教育，要貫穿整個成長階段，依著一定的規律，在整體化、生活化的概念下，幫助孩子達到身、心、靈三方面健全發展。故研究者歸納出歌德式美學在人智學教育理念的影響，並且藉由配合實際觀察與訪談，發現歌德式美學在華德福幼兒園中的實際呈現，最後希望藉此研究提出對學前美感教育的反思。

Waldorf education has been gradually receiving international recognition; UNESCO praises and supports this education system publicly. In Taiwan, increasing attention is being paid to the new educational movement. Waldorf schools, established by the father of Anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, apply a lot of Goethe's ideas, especially on the aesthetic education. According to Steiner, the curriculum design for children need to base on the true development of children and this curriculum can provide positive impacts on the growth. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the presentation of Goethe's aesthetic in a Waldorf kindergarten to find some inspirations and suggestion. It is hoped that the findings of this research provide further researches.
