According to the Steineroz website, learning is the key to human development, but it is not a simple, homogenous process.

But is it really wise to learn unrelated facts based on a more or less compulsory academic curriculum? In my opinion personal development improves within a more age-based and experiential system and by a more practical approach to learning. It has been suggested that current academic subject matters should be replaced by more practical ones such as craft, technical drawing or workshop activities like drama, dancing, singing and so on. In the following I am going to point out how experiential learning dealing with practical subject matters shows a greater effect on the motivation and the learning success of the students.

They do not just collect the information they get from their teacher, but explore and examine the basic principle of a certain subject. Pupils at Waldorf School have to sing, be creative, paint, cook, and do other practical things. The author Carol Craggs mentions in her book “Medienbildung”: “By creating realistic activities which
