Developing a Waldorf Curriculum in Asia Freie Hochschule Stuttgart Developing a Waldorf Curriculum in Asia Written Scientific Master’s Thesis for obtaining the academic degree Master of Arts Class- and Subject Teacher for Waldorf Schools Submitted by: Serene Fong Email Address: [email protected] Date: 24 November 2017 Supervisor: Martyn Rawson Course Leader: Iris Taggert 1 Acknowledgments There are many people around the world to whom I am immensely grateful: My supervisor Martyn Rawson for his guiding help, perceptive insights, razor-sharp and witty explanations and observations that broadened my perspectives and challenged me to improve; Horst Hellman, for hours of insightful discussions, and providing an inspiring and living example of a constantly striving teacher and mentor; Iris Taggert, for constant encouragement, support and guidance; The numerous teachers and mentors who have shared their rich experiences and insights through lengthly interviews, particularly Neil Boland, Gilbert van Kerckhoven, Andrew Hill, Ursula Nicolai, Monika Di Donato, and Eugene Schwartz; All the warm and helpful teachers who responded to the survey and queries; My generous lecturers and classmates in the International Master’s Course for helping me in numerous ways, for translating and sharing their story resources, especially Zhang Shu Chun, Ianinta Sembiring, Kim So Young, Kaori Seki Kohchi, and Ji Young Park; Rosemarie Harrison, my very encouraging and supportive friend and proofreader; My teachers and friends, and all who contributed to this project in some way or other; Finally, to my family, and my mother, who have supported and encouraged me every step of the way; to Ho Pan Liang, my husband, confidante, classmate, and colleague, for walking with and helping me on this journey, and my two lovely children for their patience and love, and for many happy hours together enjoying stories from around the world. 2 Abstract As Waldorf education with its European roots expands to different countries around the world, it is important that the local curriculum reflects the geographical, historical and cultural environment the children live in and not a “copy-paste” approach. This thesis explores guidelines, the criteria for and the process of adapting the Waldorf history and culture curriculum to the local context, and possible Asian content and variations for Classes 1-8. Exisiting literature, surveys and interviews with Waldorf teachers and mentors in Asia shed light on Eurocentric Waldorf traditions and practices, adapting key aspects of the curriculum to specific cultural and historical traditions, teaching history in Asia, and selecting stories that meet the developmental needs of the Asian child, balanced with multicultural content to educate world citizens. Designing a local curriculum also requires teacher education, inner development, foreign mentor guidelines and training, quality development, cultural sensitivity, understanding child development and the evolution of human consciousness. Asian fairy tales, fables, legends, creation stories, mythology, historical events and perspectives are explored, with examples from China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and India. This research aims to contribute to pioneering schools in Asia by providing resources and suggestions to trigger ideas or further research. 3 Table of Contents 1.

Tetapi, banyak sarjana yang mengkaji isi teks itu kerap membuat tanggapan yang salah. Dalam kajian mereka, mereka menetapkan aspek luaran, dan bukannya aspek fungsi dan sejarah pada cerita mitos dan legenda itu. Oleh itu, adalah tujuan rencana ini untuk menerokai pemahaman konsep saya tentang cerita legenda dan mitos dalam teks sejarah klasik Melayu untuk membuktikan adanya kebenaran sejarah yang tersirat di sebalik cerita itu. Untuk tujuan itu, saya telah memilih Sejarah Melayu, Hikayat Raja-Raja Pasai dan Hikayat Merong Mahawanga. Kata kunci: Kosmologi Melayu, Sejarah Melayu, simbol Melayu, tafsir dan ta’wil ABSTRACT Malay historical texts are also rich in the mythical and legendary stories. Unfortunately, many scholars who study the content of the texts have always misunderstood them. In their study, they specify on the superficial aspects, instead of functional and historical aspects of the mythical and legendary stories. It is the purpose of this paper to explore my conceptual understanding of mythological and legendary stories in the Malay classical historical texts to prove that there are indeed historical truth embedded within these stories. To do that, Sejarah Melayu, Hikayat Raja-raja Pasai and Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa are selected. Key words: Malay cosmology, Malay history, Malay symbols, tafsir and ta’wil INTRODUCTION Much has been said about the symbols used and adored by man in ancient times.

  • 1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations
    1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations: A Cross-Border Perspective (paper presented to the Second International Symposium of Jurnal Antropologi Indonesia, Padang, July 18-21, 2001) By Leonard Y. Andaya In present-day Malaysia the dominant ethnicity is the Melayu (Malay), followed numerically by the Chinese and the Indians. A very small percentage comprises a group of separate ethnicities that have been clustered together by a Malaysian government statute of 1960 under the generalized name of Orang Asli (the Original People). Among the “Orang Asli” themselves, however, they apply names usually associated with their specific area or by the generalized name meaning “human being”. In the literature the Orang Asli are divided into three groups: The Semang or Negrito, the Senoi, and the Orang Asli Melayu.1 Among the “Orang Asli”, however, the major distinction is between themselves and the outside world, and they would very likely second the sentiments of the Orang Asli and Orang Laut (Sea People) in Johor who regard themselves as “leaves of the same tree”.2 Today the Semang live in the coastal foothills and inland river valleys of Perak, interior Pahang, and Ulu (upriver) Kelantan, and rarely occupy lands above 1000 meters in elevation. But in the early twentieth century, Schebesta commented that the areas regarded as Negrito country included lands from Chaiya and Ulu Patani (Singora and Patthalung) to Kedah and to mid-Perak and northern Pahang.3 Most now live on the fringes rather than in the deep jungle itself, and maintain links with Malay farmers and Chinese shopkeepers. In the past they appear to have also frequented the coasts.

  • Chinese Cinderella: the True Story of an Unwanted Daughter
    After a while I said, “When did my mama die?” “Your mama came down with a high fever three days after you were born. She died when you were two weeks old. …” Though I was only four years old, I understood I should not ask Aunt Baba too many questions about my dead mama. Big Sister once told me, “Aunt Baba and Mama used to be best friends. A long time ago, they worked together in a bank in Shanghai owned by our grandaunt, the youngest sister of Grandfather Ye Ye. But then Mama died giving birth to you. If you had not been born, Mama would still be alive. She died because of you. You are bad luck.” ALSO AVAILABLE IN LAUREL-LEAF BOOKS: THE HERMIT THRUSH SINGS, Susan Butler BURNING UP, Caroline B.

  • Effect of Malay-China Trade Relations During the Malacca Sultanate on the Emergence of Chinese Peranakan Community
    World Journal of Islamic History and Civilization, 3 (4): 143-149, 2013 ISSN 2225-0883 © IDOSI Publications, 2013 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.wjihc.2013.3.4.3401 Effect of Malay-China Trade Relations During the Malacca Sultanate on the Emergence of Chinese Peranakan Community Suhaila Abdullah School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia Abstract: Malacca historical development of civilization resulting from interactions with other civilizations was brought by foreigners who came to Malacca since the time of the Malacca Sultanate. This is because at that time, Malacca was an entrepot trading centre visited by traders and merchants, representing different civilizations and various groups from all over the world including traders from China, India, Arabs, Persia and also traders from Europe. Busy port of Malacca at that time was described by Sulalatus Salatin: "... then all the commerce and trade winds windward all are coming to Malacca ...". Malacca’s fame as a famous trade center at that time led to a close relationship between Malacca with other countries, including China. In the initial stages of its development and growth, Malacca had been seeking the protection from China in particular from the Emperor Yung-Lo of the Ming Dynasty. Malacca trade relations with China can be seen clearly through the responses of Ming government when they changed their trade policy to eliminate the closed-door policy of the previous run. Chinese-Melaka close relationship became stronger when the ruler of Malacca visited China several times and so a visit from China to Malacca. Clearly, the initial contact between Malacca and China had occurred since the establishment of the Malacca-China diplomatic relations and also with the arrival of traders from China to Malacca.

  • Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society: by the Author of Chinese Cinderella Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    CHINESE CINDERELLA AND THE SECRET DRAGON SOCIETY: BY THE AUTHOR OF CHINESE CINDERELLA PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Adeline Yen Mah | 304 pages | 05 Aug 2004 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141314969 | English | United Kingdom Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society: By the Author of Chinese Cinderella PDF Book Her father remarries a woman who stays at home and looks after the children for a living while treating Adeline and her siblings harshly and spoiling her own children with many luxurious things. In a valuable historical note at the end of the book the author quotes her sources and outlines where she has changed history in order to involve her young characters in a daring escape that did not occur. I don't usually enjoy reading non-fiction stories but i definitely found the Chinese culture interesting. But things turn worse at home. Mar 08, Sophia Cha rated it it was amazing. She headed home scared that Niang might abuse her. This book is a historical novel and so there is a Historical Note at the end of the book, which I would recommend reading first. Now, for the parts of the story I thought Mah could have improved on. Shelves: must-read. Denied love from her parents, she finds some solace in relationships with her grandfather Ye Ye and her Aunt Baba, but they are taken from her as Niang deems them to exert bad influence on the children. Where's the fantasy? Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. This fictional book presents another possible ending to the Chinese Cinderella story of Adeline Yen Mah's life.
