Event Details
Outdoor education provides memorable, authentic and contextualised opportunities to extend classroom-based learning.
This seminar will present research drawing on empirical data from replicate surveys in state primary schools in England in 1995 and 2017, identifying five key ingredients for successful outdoor learning in schools. These outcomes are situated in teacher professional identity theory and extend the evidence base to support practitioners and policy makers in promoting more opportunities for learning outdoors within formal curricula.
