Abstract

With the purpose of highlighting andincluding Rudolf Steiner’s philosophical and educational approach in the discussion groups in the area of Brazilian education, this research was carried out as a bibliographic survey ofacademic works that sustain or dialogue with Waldorf Pedagogy, in national digital databases publishedsince the 2000s. The search was per-formed using keywords such as“Waldorf Education”, “Anthroposophy” and “Rudolf Steiner”. Thus, aneasily accessible database was cre-ated for everyone who wants to findstudies that have theoretical supporton themes of Waldorf Pedagogy.Then, 97 articles, 66 dissertations and 16 theses were gathered, offering areference for study and research support. This article aims to disclose theexperience of processes and procedures for carrying out a bibliographic survey, as well as analyzing data collected in the survey, such as recurringthemes, rare themes, with few productions, themes within education, time and space relations of publication, among others, using graphics. Thus, this work allows more studentsin the field of education to have access and knowledge about Rudolf Steiner’s proposals, since, even today,in Brazil, this approach is little knownand recognized in universities. This work is the result of an institutional investigation supported by Instituto Mahle and the Faculdade Rudolf Steiner, which makes it possible toperceive the various contributions, impacts and power that Waldorf pedagogy has to offer to educational professionals and, consequently, to the children.
