Book Synopsis Routledge International Handbook of Outdoor Studies by : Barbara Humberstone
Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Outdoor Studies written by Barbara Humberstone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘outdoors’ is a physical and ideological space in which people engage with their environment, but it is also an important vehicle for learning and for leisure. The Routledge Handbook of Outdoor Studies is the first book to attempt to define and survey the multi-disciplinary set of approaches that constitute the broad field of outdoor studies, including outdoor recreation, outdoor education, adventure education, environmental studies, physical culture studies and leisure studies. It reflects upon the often haphazard development of outdoor studies as a discipline, critically assesses current knowledge in outdoor studies, and identifies further opportunities for future research in this area. With a broader sweep than any other book yet published on the topic, this handbook traces the philosophical and conceptual contours of the discipline, as well as exploring key contemporary topics and debates, and identifying important issues in education and professional practice. It examines the cultural, social and political contexts in which people experience the outdoors, including perspectives on outdoor studies from a wide range of countries, providing the perfect foundation for any student, researcher, educator or outdoors practitioner looking to deepen their professional knowledge of the outdoors and our engagement with the world around us.
Book Synopsis Outdoor Environmental Education in Higher Education by : Glyn Thomas
Download or read book Outdoor Environmental Education in Higher Education written by Glyn Thomas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together an international group of authors to discuss the outdoor environmental education (OEE) theory and practice that educators can use to support teaching and learning in higher education. The book contents are organised around a recently established list of threshold concepts that can be used to describe the knowledge and skills that university students would develop if they complete a major in outdoor education. There are six key sections: the theoretical foundations and philosophies of OEE; the pedagogical approaches and issues involved in teaching OEE; the ways in which OEE is a social, cultural and environmental endeavour; how outdoor educators can advocate for social justice; key approaches to safety management; and the need for on-going professional practice. The threshold concepts that form the premise of the book describe outdoor educators as creating opportunities for experiential learning using pedagogies that align their programme’s purpose and practice. Outdoor educators are place-responsive, and see their work as a social, cultural and environmental endeavour. They advocate for social and environmental justice, and they understand and apply safety principles and routinely engage in reflective practice. This book will provide clarity and direction for emerging and established outdoor educators around the world and will also be relevant to students and professionals working in related fields such as environmental education, adventure therapy, and outdoor recreation.

Book Synopsis Environmental Education Teacher Resource Handbook by : Richard J. Wilke
Download or read book Environmental Education Teacher Resource Handbook written by Richard J. Wilke and published by Krause Publications. This book was released on 1993 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface: -- The Environmental Education Teacher Resource Handbook is one of a series of practical references for curriculum developers, education faculty, veteran teachers, and student teachers. The handbook is designed to provide information on the background of environmental education (EE) curriculum, as well as current, comprehensive information on publications, standards, and special materials for K-12 EE. Think of this handbook as the first place to look when you are revising or developing your EE curriculum-or if you need resource information on EE any time of the year. This handbook does not seek to prescribe any particular form of curriculum, nor does it follow any set of standards or guidelines. Instead, the book provides a general grounding in the EE curriculum, so that you can use this information and then proceed in the direction best suited for your budget, your school, and your district. What this handbook gives you is a sense of the numerous options that are available-it is up to you to use the information to develop the appropriate curriculum or program for your situation.
