Preliminary Material -- Why be Concerned With Outdoor Education? -- Just What is Outdoor Education? -- Outdoor Education and Indoor Education -- The Environmental Crisis and a Desire for Adventure -- Moving Past the Confusion: What is Education? -- Looking Ahead: Outdoor Education as Occupation -- References -- About the Authors.
In this book we take the reader on a journey through the various curriculum reforms that have emerged in the USA around the idea of conducting education outdoors—through initiatives such as nature-study, camping education, adventure education, environmental education, experiential education and place based education. This is a historical journey with an underlying message for educators, one we are able to illuminate through the educational theories of John Dewey. Central to this message is a deeper understanding of human experience as both aesthetic and reflective, leading to a more coherent comprehension of not just outdoor education, but of education itself.
