“…Mygind [53] determined that students' physical activity levels were significantly higher when a combination of indoor and outdoor environments are used. Similarly, the findings of a similar study suggest that outdoor learning activities improve student achievement and social behaviour, similar to the findings of this study [54]. It is known that outdoor learning activities in particular improve students' psychological well-being by reducing their stress during the transition from primary to secondary school, and increase their physical activities by decreasing their sedentary time [55,56].…”

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a curriculum developed for prospective physical education teachers to learn an outdoor sports course, using both the school-based outdoor education approach and online learning. The research design involved a mixed method that used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Since qualitative data were collected in order to support quantitative data, the researchers applied a sequential–descriptive pattern of mixed methods. As a result of the research, the achievement of the outdoor sports lesson and the ability of doing outdoor sports were improved among prospective teachers using both the school-based outdoor education and online learning physical education approaches. The prospective teachers stated that they learned the subjects better by doing, and that they were more motivated to improve their subsequent performance after watching the recorded activities and performances on the learning management system. The prospective teachers generally expressed the positive opinion that the course was helpful for passing the final exam or other evaluations, and that the teaching activities were motivational.

The impacts of unstructured nature play on health in early childhood development: A systematic review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundNature play is growing in popularity as children's play spaces are transforming from traditional playgrounds into more nature-based play spaces with considerable financial and resource investment from government bodies. This has resulted in the re-development of children's play spaces to incorporate more natural elements such as trees, plants and rocks. Despite this, it is unclear whether there is empirical evidence to support claims that play in nature is beneficial for child health and development.

“…Other problem that also occurred in the teaching-learning process is the lack of facilities and teaching props. Responding to previous findings Mirrahimi, et al in [13], this problem could be reduced by having students indulge more in natural environment through outdoor learning. With the implementation of outdoor learning, students are expected to be more motivated and concentrated in the learning process and could also enhance their learning ability.…”

“…Through engaging in a direct experience and being able to move freely as a method of learning, children could develop their imagination and push out the classroom boundaries that require them to have direct attention most of the time [12]. Outdoor experience also potentially supports the development of knowledge, concept, and skills from across the school curriculum, academic achievement, and makes an important contribution to students' physical, personal and social education, and also social and emotional intelligence [13].…”

Recently, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of outdoor activities in Indonesia which followed by the increasing popularity of nature schools and regular schools with integrated outdoor learning facilities. To understand the current status of outdoor learning implementation in elementary schools in Indonesia, a preliminary research in nature and regular elementary schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, was conducted. The main purpose of this research is to review current application of outdoor learning as part of school framework of current regular school education system in Indonesia and to determine the optimal way for improving the system. Qualitative and quantitative research was conducted by questionnaire with teachers and students as subjects. As the result, although outdoor learning is highly favored by the students, however, the application at selected schools is still hampered by facilities. Moreover, the design and quality of outdoor learning need to be improved. The result of this study could be used for further studies, especially on designing and integrating outdoor learning into school frameworks. Those researches can be utilized to develop a model for outdoor learning activities in elementary schools which meet the Indonesian National Education Standards.
