Abstract | The booklet commemorates a quarter century of outdoor teacher education at Northern Illinois University. In that time, the Taft Campus and the Outdoor Teacher Education faculty have developed a reputation which reaches beyond the borders of Illinois nationally and internationally. The rationale for extending the instructional process beyond the school building itself is as sound today as it was a quarter century ago. Direct experience learning relies heavily on sensory awareness. From a beginning of two summer courses in outdoor education offered in 1954, the curriculum has grown to a total of 21 courses today, 7 of which were added in the last 12 years. Six courses are offered by the department on the undergraduate level. A major in the subject is offered in the graduate curriculum. During the 1976-77 academic year, 165 students were majoring in Outdoor Teacher Education and in 1976, 339 students attended the summer session. In the past 12 years, the department offered 81 extension courses in 38 communities, and 4 foreign study tours and 4 travel courses were conducted during various summer sessions. A total of 314 students have completed graduate degrees in the department. Sketches of the 10 members of Northern's Department of Outdoor Teacher Education, listed in the order each joined the Taft Campus faculty, are given. (NQ) |
