摘要：How do we look at interdisciplinary theories and methods today and how do we welcome an interdisciplinary perspective in research? These questions are perhaps not the discussed in various research disciplines but the questions concern both research and education. Within each discipline, we have theories and methods that we want to protect and make into "our own". We prefer that certain theories and methods belong to a particular discipline. We also keep ourselves happy within our own research area and develop it with "inherited" theories and practice what we consider to belong to "our research". However, issues emanating from interdisciplinary theories and methods provide opportunities to broaden and deepen each research area. As an example, education and health in an inter-disciplinary approach has not received much attention. Alternatively, topics such as health and care relate primarily to the disciplines of medicine and nursing, and perhaps also psychology. However there are some people like myself who are, focused on developing new educational tools that promote health and well-being of preschoolers and children of early school age. Within my area of research it is based on images as tools of communication. Images are used in communication with children who have chronic disease and / or are in need of special measures and support in preschool and school.
