Educational Physics: Recent Episodes
Joao Figueiredo
No, this is not a podcast about physics or teaching physics. But it is a podcast on education, pedagogy, philosophy and the art and science of learning.
Another episode, another topic. This time... muscle memory. What is it? How does it work? How does one develop GOOD muscle memory? Please consider subscribing, sharing and comment - let's get a conversation going!

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.

This episode is the second of a series of episodes around #learnercentrededucation and it will be about my attempt to make a case for LCE.
Episode 2 was all about the evolutionary angle. This time we address the PSYCHOLOGICAL angle. #psychology #evolution #pedagogy #podcast
This episode is the first of a series of episodes around #learnercentrededucation and it will be about my attempt to make a case for LCE, starting with: Evolution. #evolution #pedagogy #podcast
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.

This episode is all about the importance of free speech and why we should defend it at all costs.

Does technology hinder or support motivation? Or perhaps we are just doing it all wrong?
How can ITSs bridge the gap between teachers and students - and still provide education for the masses?
Can technology help underdeveloped countries?

Following last week's episode, this time I explore some of the potential and limits of applying AI to education.
Where does it stop? And will it replace all teachers?
What is the defining factor behind motivation? What gives the extra push when it comes to pursuing one's passion?
And how can Artificial Intelligence facilitate this?
This episode addresses the issue and conflict between inclusion as a human need and tribalism as a human defensive mechanism
This paradox has led us down many bellic roads before - it is time for us to address it from the bottom up: starting with education.
Separations are tough.
They are tough on the parents and they are definitely tough on the children. So what can parents do to support their kids whilst dealing with the pain and struggle of a divorce or separation?
Co-parenting is an art form and it takes patience, self-knowledge, integration of truth and a lot of ego free communication.
This episode is quite personal as I, myself, have gone through this.

So what is the role of play in our development as people? Studies suggest that play is a fundamental part of cognitive and social development - here's why and how. #pedagogy #psychology #piaget #vygostky #childdevelopment #cognitivedevelopment
In this episode I discuss ideas around language, the danger of words of affirmation, how to establish boundaries that promote self-development and more. To support this podcast, please subscribe, like and share.

This episode is quite special as it compiles three videos that I made on the different characters that make up our psyche and mindscapes.
You have voices in your head that use your own voice as a way to hide in the darkness of your thoughts. They trick you into believing that these are your thoughts. These are not. The real question is: How do you know which voice is the real "you" and which voices are just actors acting out different scenarios and possibilities?
This episode of the #educationalphysicspod is yet another solo exploration around language, emotions, the psychology of self-talk and how evolution has made us more sensitive to negative self talk.

In this solo episode of the Educational Physics Podcast, I discuss the purpose and origins of language, its impact on emotional landscapes and out it influences our cultural idiosyncrasies.
I intend to explore this subject further and hopefully bring on guests who know far more than I do about language.

This time, I had the pleasure of talking to Dr. Nicole Gridley (PhD).

Thank you for listening to another episode of the Educational Physics Podcast. This one is about trauma and how that affects all of us whilst in the process of learning.
We will be talking to several experts on trauma too so stay tuned for future episodes.
Today's episode is all about learner-centred education: what it is, how it works, what are its limits and how to apply in day to day teaching.
I hope you enjoy it and please share and subscribe!
Welcome to the Educational Physics Podcast! This episode is all about learning and how that happens, memory and meaning in education.
