Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine the extent and future of outdoor education in the elementary schools of Joint School District Number 1, Port Washington, Wisconsin, from the 1971-72 school year to the present. A questionnaire was distributed to all elementary teachers in grades K-6, with the exception of physical education teachers. The survey gathered data on when students were taken out of the classroom for educational experiences, resource areas used, related curriculum areas, reasons for out-of-door activities, materials used, factors that discouraged outdoor education, and teacher opinions as to the need for a specialist or workshops in outdoor education. Because of the small number of teachers in the survey (44 out of 66 responded) there was not a significant difference between the number of teachers that had participated in outdoor education and those that had not. There were 18 findings which determined, for instance, that outdoor education experiences were most frequent in grades K-4 and that the curricular areas most frequently stressed were science, social studies, health, and safety. The 6 recommendations generally covered resource areas, curriculum, materials, teacher aids, workshops, and the need for an outdoor education specialist. (KM) |
