Perspektiver - på barnehagefaglige fenomenerEpisode 40: Per Brodal - om seksårsreformen, nevromyter og lekens betydningI jule-episoden 2024 snakker vi med professor emeritus i nevrobiologi Per Brodal, som sammen med psykolog Charlotte Lunde skrev boka "Lek og læring i et nevroperspektiv - hvordan gode intensjoner kan ødelegge barns lærelyst" (2022). Denne boka, og temaene den tar opp, har vakt stor interesse i det pedagogiske fag- og praksisfeltet. Ofte blir naturvitenskapelig kunnskap, spesielt fra medisinfeltet, brukt som argumenter for bestemte typer læring, metoder, programmer og aktiviteter som skal optimalisere læring for barn og unge. Teorier om hjernehalvdelenes forskjell, læringsstiler og intelligenser er ofte misforståtte og forenklede "nevromyter". Vi snakker om det s...

2023-03-091h 36Even the TrunchbullEpisode 40 - Wishes (Knock Three Times and Wishes)This month we're reading Knock Three Times, by Cressida Cowell, and Wishes, by Muon Thi Van and Victo Ngai.
Knock Three Times is the third book of a four part series, but anytime is a good time to jump on board thanks to Cressida Cowell's chatty and unnamed narrator. We praise David Tennant's performance of the audiobook very highly, but you'll want the paper book too, so you can look at the pictures. It's a silly adventure story, it's also surprisingly poignant about the difficult relationship between children and their parents.

We get real with her and hear how she was emotionally traumatized from leaving her country of Iran at such a young age -- and how that has always influenced her deep gratitude for the small things in life, especially the pride she feels for herself and where she comes from.
