| Pathak | Re: Outdoor Education Outdoor education can be simply defined as experiential learning in, for, or about the outdoors. The term 'outdoor education', however, is used broadly to refer to a range of organized activities that take place in a variety of ways in predominantly outdoor environments. Objectives Learn how to overcome adversity Enhance personal and social development Develop a deeper relationship with nature. Outdoor education spans the three domains of self, others, and the natural world. The relative emphasis of these three domains varies from one program to another. An outdoor education program can, for example, emphasize one (or more) of these aims to: Teach outdoor survival skills Improve problem solving skills Reduce recidivism Enhance teamwork Develop leadership skills Understand natural environments Promote Spirituality Outdoor education is... interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary...an approach to achieving the goals and objectives of the curriculum. - Hammerman, Hammerman & Hammerman, 1985 Benefits Increased self-concept such as independence, confidence, self-efficacy, and self understanding Enhanced decision-making skills General problem solving competencies Better academic achievement Increased ability to overcome challenges Better social competence Better communication skills |
