Running Head: OUTDOOR LEARNING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD 1 Outdoor Learning in Early Childhood Holly Hooven April 24, 2017 Northwestern College Running Head: OUTDOOR LEARNING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD 2 Abstract Play is a skill that comes naturally to every child. Children love to explore and investigate. They do this to find answers to the questions they have and obtain through other experiences such as talking with parents, other children, as well as reading through books. Play is important for many developmental skills such as building on fine motor, cognitive development, and more. While many parents and teachers observe their children, or students, play within the indoors, many children are not getting a lot of outdoor time. Outdoor play is as important as indoor play. Outdoor play allows a child to be one self and take lead of his or her own learning. Children are also building on large motor skills as they jump, skip, and hop around the outdoor play area.

The aim is likewise to explore the views of the teachers on the implementation of the education programme. The study, which utilised a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative data collection, lasted for seven weeks. The results demonstrate that the developed programme is effective. At the end of the study, a significant difference was revealed in terms of the participant teachers’ knowledge and skills regarding the approach as well as their self-efficacy belief levels in relation to the use of museums and the outdoors as teaching environments. Face-to-face interviews conducted with the teachers who participated in the experimental practice revealed that they were satisfied with the experience. Keywords: Edmodo; mixed method; school-based outdoor education; teacher’s views; visual art Introduction Outdoor education in teaching and learning is being increasingly used as an effective approach for the realisation of activities related to active learning and for the instruction of abstract concepts (Bilasa & Arslangilay, 2016; Çelik & Kasapoğlu, 2014; Öztürk Aynal, 2013; Preston, 2014; Price, 2015).

  • Arts, Health and Physical Education Correlation Visual and Performing Arts Framework Components and Curriculum Applications
    Arts, Health and Physical Education Correlation Visual and Performing Arts Framework Components and Curriculum Applications The California State Department of Education Visual and Performing Arts Framework (1996) specifies that, "Each of the arts disciplines – dance, music, theatre, and the visual arts – maintains a rich body of knowledge that enable students to understand their world in ways that support and enhance their learning in other core subjects. In addition, through this rich body of knowledge, students learn how each of the arts contributes to their own sensitivity of the aesthetic quality of life. Students learn to see what they look at, hear what they listen to, feel what they touch, and understand more clearly what they integrate into their own experience" (page 2). The components of a visual and performing arts curriculum include: artistic perception; creative expression; historical and cultural context; and aesthetic valuing. The unique natural environment of outdoor schools provides students with a variety of aesthetic experiences and opportunities for creative expression. Sections of the four major content areas described in the Visual and Performing Arts Framework have been identified as important in a residential outdoor education program. These include components in: dance, drama/theatre, music, and visual arts. Students at an outdoor school often participate in skits, campfire songs, and nature crafts. Examples of Outdoor Framework Visual and Performing Arts Components Education Curriculum and Page # Activities Goals of Visual and Performing Arts Participate in arts and crafts activities; skits, storytelling, and Artistic Perception: 6 songs during campfire.

  • Outdoor Education – Research Summary
    Outdoor Education – Research Summary Research on outdoor education is synthesized below. Links to specific research papers and summaries are provided at the bottom. School performance increases when children learn outdoors1 A number of studies have documented increased school performance through outdoor education. Research has document increased standardized test scores, enhanced attitude about school, improved in-school behavior, improved attendance and overall enhanced student achievement when students learn in and about nature. In addition, outdoor education effectively employs a greater range of children’s intelligences. Many researchers contribute the increase in performance to increased relevance and hands-on experience of learning outdoors. Learning outdoors is healthy2 Learning outdoors is active and increases students’ physical, mental and social health. Some studies have even shown follow-up (e.g., non-school) physical activity increases with outdoor learning. Access to nature has also been shown to decrease the symptoms of ADHD. Outdoor learning and access to nature also decrease stress levels of students and teachers. Learning outdoors supports child development3 Children greatly benefit developmentally from being outdoors. Outdoor education and play support emotional, behavioral and intellectual development. Studies have shown that students who learn outdoors develop: a sense of self, independence, confidence, creativity, decision-making and problem-solving skills, empathy towards others, motor skills, self-discipline and initiative. Teaching and learning outdoors is fun4 Often, the outdoors provides a change of pace from the classroom, which students and teachers enjoy. Studies have shown increased student enthusiasm for learning outdoors. Learning outdoors helps develop a sense of place and civic attitudes and behaviors5 Outdoor experiences help students increase their understanding of their natural and human communities which leads to a sense of place.

  • Children's Contact with the Outdoors and Nature: a Focus on Educators
    CHILDREN’S CONTACT WITH THE OUTDOORS AND NATURE: A FOCUS ON EDUCATORS AND EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS NOTE: The following are taken from four volumes of research developed by the Children & Nature Network (C&NN) and available at www.childrenandnature.org. These C&NN Annotated Bibliographies of Research and Studies were written by Cheryl Charles, Ph.D., President, Children & Nature Network and Alicia Senauer, Yale University. Benefits to children from contact with the outdoors and nature This section reviews research focused on the physical, mental, and social benefits that contact with the outdoors and nature provides to children. Research is grouped into several main focal areas. Focus: Literature Reviews & Overview Documents These articles and documents synthesize the literature related to children’s contact with the outdoors and nature and, in many cases, highlight children’s contact as it relates to educational settings. Time spent outdoors supports many aspects of children’s health In this report, Muñoz reviews literature concerning the linkage between spending time outdoors and health, with a primary emphasis on research related to children. She reviews research and policy related to outdoor use and health more generally and then takes an in-depth look at topics related to children’s use of the outdoors and relationships to their health. Specific topics Muñoz examines include research linking children’s time spent outdoors to increased physical activity, healthy development, and overall well-being. She also examines research related to the design of children’s play spaces, access to natural spaces, the use of outdoors in children’s education, and research related to people and factors that constrain and enable children’s outdoor play.

  • The Perceived Impact of a University Outdoor Education Program on Students' Environmental Behaviors
    THE PERCEIVED IMPACT OF A UNIVERSITY OUTDOOR EDUCATION PROGRAM ON STUDENTS’ ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIORS Heather Boland Kollmuss and Agyeman (2002) defi ne pro-environmental University of Ottawa behavior as behavior “that consciously seeks to minimize the negative impact of one’s actions on the natural Paul Heintzman and built world” (p. 240). Research on the eff ects of University of Ottawa outdoor education programs on environmental behaviors has tended to involve schoolchildren and teenagers.

  • A Designed Eco-Art and Place-Based Curriculum Encouraging Students’ Empathy for the Environment
    ecologies Case Report A Designed Eco-Art and Place-Based Curriculum Encouraging Students’ Empathy for the Environment Asvina Sunassee and Chandradeo Bokhoree * School of Sustainable Development and Tourism, University of Technology, La Tour Koenig, Mauritius; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Environmental art education is gaining importance in schools as arts education begins to acquire a more significant role in environmental education. This emerging field of study is an interdisciplinary endeavor that is centered on the different fields of environmental education and visual art education and provides a means of making students aware of environmental issues through environmental art education. It has been suggested that students get into a relationship with nature prior to the request to conserve the environment in order to be nature connected. This abstract focuses on teaching and learning through the arts, a pedagogical way in which students discuss the challenging aspects of environmental issues. The aim of this study is to make students act like protectors of their environment through an eco-art place-based curriculum. This paper’s pedagogies will provide educators with a framework for developing environmental art education lessons and curricula. This experimental study has been planned to gather data from interviews and observation of students and by making the students participate in nature-related activities. The findings show that students prefer to let go of their fascination with formulating better ecological perspectives. On the positive side, a few students went through some frustration during the program and the activities. Students have given positive feedback on the program in positive terms, such as “fun”, “interesting”, and “cool”, to express their experience gained through the class activities.
