Læreres utbytte av kunnskap om hjernen

Abstract

Konkrete klasseromsanvendelser av hjerneforskning har latt vente på seg. I denne oversiktsartikkelen undersøkes det potensielle utbyttet for lærerstudenter ved å kjenne til ulike temaer knytta til hjernens befatning med tall og aritmetikk – uavhengig av hvorvidt slike en-til-en-anvendelser eksisterer eller kan eksistere. Av potensiell verdi for lærere framheves blant annet kunnskap om hvilke vanskeligheter et assosiativt minne forårsaker i forbindelse med aritmetiske tabeller. Med bakgrunn i moderne hjerneforskning belyses ei tallbehandling som kan deles opp i en medfødt ”tallsans” og et kultur- og utdanningsavhengig eksakt tallsystem, hvordan ulike binæroperasjoner behandles på grunnleggende forskjellig vis av hjernen, og hvordan innlæringsstrategi kan påvirke lagringa av aritmetisk kunnskap. Temaer som barnets ”logaritmiske indre tallinje” og dyskalkuli blir også belyst. Jeg konkluderer med at denne typen kunnskap om hjernen vil utvide lærerstudentenes forståelse av det lærende barnet, og dermed kunne påvirke deres praksis.
