Kuuntele: YLE Radio 1

Psykologian aihepiirejä käsitellään ylen ykkösellä asiantuntevasti, asiantuntijoita mukavasti haastatellen. Erityisesti Reseptori ja Terveydeksi ovat suositeltavia. Mutta myös Risto Nurmen Luontoradio piipahtaa välillä ihmisluonnon puolella (lähetykset keskiviikkoisin klo 12.15 - 13.00, toinen lähetys perjantaina klo 22.05).

Yritän kerätä jatkuvasti myös radion nettiarkiston aarteita tähän blogiin. Ensimmäisenä löytönä Risto Nurmen Maammeradiosta:

Kuuntele netistä: Miten ihminen kasvaa ja kehittyy?

Lähetetty YLE Radio 1:ssä 10.5. ja 17.5.2006

Ihmiseksi kasvaminen ja minuuden kehittyminen ovat aiheina Risto Nurmen kahdessa maammeradiossa. Ensimmäisessä ohjelmassa keskustelukumppanina on lastenpsykiatri Jari Sinkkonen ja toisessa professori Liisa Keltikangas-Järvinen.

Heräsin, havahduin, mietin

Viimeisimmällä psykologian kurssilla havahduin. Tarvitsemme lisää tuottamista. Siis opiskelijat tarvitsevat. Lisää kokonaisnäkemyksen kehittämistä. Lisää erilaisia menetelmiä eritavoin oppiville. Varsinkin etänä psykologiaa opiskelevilla on suuri urakka ainereaalin kanssa. Pelkkä tietojen omaksuminen ei riitä. Pitää oppia ymmärtämään, vetämään johtopäätöksiä, analysoimaan, näkemään yhteyksiä asioitten välillä, yhdistämään teorioita käytäntöön ja selittämään käytäntöä teorioilla. Pieninkin aineisto, joka ei mittaa kirjaviisautta ja pintaoppimista, on Iso Juttu. Tarvitaan harjoitusta. Siihen kerään tässä materiaalia ja idoita.
