PedPod dialogue with Hege Fimreite
Manage episode 439986692 series 3569718
Welcome to the 6th episode of PedPod by EX-PED-LAB. In this episode, I spoke with Hege Fimreite, an Associate Professor at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences and the leader of the EX-PED-LAB project. For her PhD, she worked on a project titled "Kollegarettleiing og endring av den kollektive kunnskapen i barnehagen" (peer guidance and changes in the collective knowledge in the kindergarten).
In this episode, Hege used the metaphor of a wave to explain her thoughts on pedagogical innovations:
"I see this concept of pedagogical innovation as this is like a wave. I know you and the one ocean, but it's like a wave. It's a dynamic wave. It's
a fluid concept i think and i think the concept themselves um invites to reflect and to new reflection and creative thinking because it gives this room for dynamic actions I think it allows you to try something new and i think we need this mandate to do something. It's about this bravery, and willingness, and it opens up. I think that it's about adapting different contexts and groups so we can develop our professional practices. And in my opinion, so now I'm here and I can share my personal opinions as well. We are not a professional learning community if we are not able to think innovatively."
