Fairy Tale as One of the Most Effective Educational Tool

Abstract

The author is a teacher (who studied psychology and developmental psychology during her teacher training) but she does not deal with children, she teaches adults. Analysing Waldorf pedagogy she realized the ability of tale writing. The aim of the study is to demontrate that tales are not useless in childhood and they are also important in adulthood as psychical and social tools.
There are different types of tales. In my study I understand them as classical fairy tales where something miraculous is always present. I would like to state that as a tale I only definíate written or oral stories never cartoons.
