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.

    South African Journal of Education, Volume 37, Number 3, August 2017 1 Art. # 1395, 17 pages, https://doi.org/10.15700/saje.v37n3a1395 The effect of a school-based outdoor education program on Visual Arts teachers’ success and self-efficacy beliefs Cigdem Hursen and Didem Islek Division of Curriculum and Instruction, Ataturk Faculty of Education, Near East University, Turkey [email protected] The aim of this research is to determine the effect of an education programme developed based on the school-based outdoor education approach on the academic achievement of visual arts teachers, as well as their self-efficacy beliefs for using museums and the natural environment. 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.

  • The Liberal Arts Curriculum in China's Christian
    THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM IN CHINA’S CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITIES AND ITS RELEVANCE TO CHINA’S UNIVERSITIES TODAY by Leping Mou A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Leping Mou 2018 The Liberal Arts Curriculum in China’s Christian Universities and Its Relevance to China’s Universities Today Leping Mou Master of Arts Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This thesis considers the historical background, the development, and the characteristics of China’s Christian universities, with a special focus on their curriculum design. Through the lens of postmodern theory, the thesis explores the concept and essence of liberal arts education as reflected in the curriculum of the Christian universities through a qualitative methodology, focusing on the analysis of historical archival material. The purpose is to find insights for today’s trend towards reviving liberal arts education in China’s elite universities as a way of countering the influence of utilitarianism and neo-liberalism in an era of economic globalization. ii Acknowledgements The completion of this Master thesis marks the accomplishment of two years’ academic study at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). Along with my hard work, it is made possible because of the insightful suggestions and guidance from OISE's erudite professors and the help and support from family and friends. It is also an encouragement for me to proceed to further doctoral study.

  • 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.
