This week gets us going and exploring brain-based education - a school of thought that I'm finding more and more interesting. In this episode, I will summarise the 12 principles of brain-based education before we go into deeper waters in future episodes.

This week's episode introduces the idea of informal education, where it shows up and what we need to be careful about when engage with others.

Ok, maybe it's not just laziness. But this is the 4th installment of my learner-centred education series before we move on to the role of informal education.

I hope you enjoy it! Like, subscribe, comment... you know the spiel.

This episode is my exploration of the philosophical groundings that support learner-centred education - from #Socrates to #GaborMate, I discuss ideas and concepts that, from the philosophical perspective, explain why learner-centred education is the most effective model for education.

The Educational Physics Podcast is back and I intend to take this podcast to the next level this year. I had a lot of fun doing season 2 but now, it's time to take this seriously... or is it?

Oddly, enough, this first episode is all about finding the humour in darkness and in the depth of philosophy. A lot of thinkers get caught up in assuming that they need to adopt a serious looking persona.

I don't find that necessary - quite opposite, it's an obstacle.

I hope you enjoy it!

Again, let's start with the questions:   

Should we be teaching #philosophy to children? 

Should we be motivating them to ask and discuss the big questions?   

In this podcast, I make my case FOR teaching philosophy from a young age and the benefits of it.  #pedagogy #podcast #education #theeducationalphysicspod #plato #socrates #joaofigueiredo #learning #earlyyearseducation

Let's start with the questions:

1) Should we be tolerant towards others?

2) Should we embrace all difference, unconditionally? 

3) Should we accept all ways of being and all ways of social organization?  

Recently I had a couple of interactions on social media that made me think about this. This podcast reflects some of those thoughts.
