Book Synopsis Outdoor Education by : Thomas J. Rillo
Download or read book Outdoor Education written by Thomas J. Rillo and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outdoor education provides a setting in which students learn to discover things for themselves and should be an integral part of school curriculum. Beginning as soon as students and teachers step beyond the classroom, outdoor education employs methods of observation/discovery, research, and reflection. Small group instruction allowing full use of the five senses is necessary to a successful program as are references and resource materials at the program site. Teachers are not required to be subject specialists, but should have basic preparation in the techniques of outdoor education. An outdoor education committee is desirable to establish needs, articulate philosophies, plan the curriculum, collect resources and prepare materials, arrange inservice training, and evaluate the program. Types of outdoor education programs include resident, day-long, recreational, or cultural/aesthetic and each of these can be academic-centered or camp-centered. Methods of correlating outdoor education with school curriculum include vertical articulation, horizonal articulation, and modular approaches. Program evaluation is essential and should focus on specific objectives, particularly the personal meaning of the outdoor experience for each individual. A list of 8 objectives for experiences gained in an outdoor education program are provided and 12-20 outdoor activities are suggested for each of 7 curriculum areas. (LFL) activities are suggested for each of 7 curriculum areas. A list of resources on outdoor education concludes the document. (LFL)

Book Synopsis A Pedagogy of Place by : Brian Wattchow
Download or read book A Pedagogy of Place written by Brian Wattchow and published by Monash University Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pedagogy of Place offers an alternative vision for outdoor education practice. This timely book calls into question some of the underlying assumptions and ‘truths’ about outdoor education, putting forward alternatives to current practice that are responsive to local conditions and cultural traditions. In this renewal of outdoor education philosophy and practice, the emphasis is upon responding to, and empathising with, the outdoors as particular places, rich in local meaning and significance. Current outdoor education theory and practice is influenced by cultural ideas about risk and adventure, and by psychological theories of personal and social development. However, in recent decades the professional discourse of outdoor education has made a noticeable shift to include education for the ‘environment’ and ‘nature’. This has resulted in a mismatch between theory and practice: traditional notions of proving oneself ‘against’ the challenges of the outdoors are antithetical to the development of an empathetic relationship with outdoor places, which growing concern with today’s environment demands. This book is the first of its kind to articulate a renewal of philosophy and practice for outdoor education that is in keeping with the educational needs of today’s young people as they grapple with considerable social and ecological changes in a rapidly changing world. The authors draw extensively on international, national and local literature and provide compelling case studies drawn from the Australian and New Zealand contexts.

Book Synopsis Fifty Years of Resident Outdoor Education, 1930-1980 by : William M. Hammerman
Download or read book Fifty Years of Resident Outdoor Education, 1930-1980 written by William M. Hammerman and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years of innovative programming in what has come to be called resident outdoor education are traced in this volume which examines the evolution of resident outdoor education from its early beginnings to the present. The several authors of this book are leaders in outdoor education who have been intimately involved in the development of programs and the teaching of other leaders. The various themes crystalize the essence of resident outdoor education as practiced in the United States from 1930-1980 and highlight the impact of this curriculum innovation on American education. Analyzing the impact that resident outdoor education has had on educational philosophy and practice, this book brings together numerous experiences in developing programs. Two aspects of outdoor education are prominent herein. The first (the central theme of the book) is that there is a need for direct contact with the environment, that some learning makes a deeper impact and is retained longer when a concept or an object is discovered, observed, sensed, and interpreted in the natural setting. The second aspect addresses learning to live with our fellow creatures. It is the intent of this volume to make possible a greater understanding of the outdoor education movement and of the need for extending its benefits throughout our school systems. (Author/AN)
