Elin Weydahl
About
I am a kindergarten teacher and hold a MA in pre-school education.
Currently I'm in the final phase of my doctoral work. My disseration is situated within philosophy of education and employs a hermeneutic approach. My study examines upbringing in Norwegian Kindergarten. It is based mainly on an interpretation of The Education of Man, the main work of Friedrich Fröbel (1782-1852), the founder of kindergarten.
