“…Education is one of the scenarios benefiting from the advances of ICTs, producing new learning environments that break the traditional schemes of barely 30 years ago (Coll and Coll, 2018). It is now possible to learn kilometers away from teachers and classmates (Aflalo et al, 2019). Formally, these learning environments can be conceived as realizations of a more general framework called blended learning (Hrastinski, 2019).…”

Moodle is one of the most widely used learning management systems currently and has traditionally been studied through the Technology Acceptance Model. Existing literature is scattered and does not allow us to clearly conclude what characteristics this technological acceptance has as well as its main progress. The study aimed to provide an overview of the scientific literature on the application of TAM in the study of the acceptance and technological use of Moodle through a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS). Results from 24 selected studies indicate that the topic is of increasing interest and that the literature is characterized by studies that 1) use extended versions of TAM; 2) are based on university students from different programs; 3) take place in Europe or Asia; 4) are published in journals with different impact factors; and 5) have focused on testing mainly the original TAM hypotheses. Although a lot of hypotheses have been studied (271), only 16 have been accepted more times than rejected by 2 or more studies, with Perceived Ease of Use being the most commonly present construct in the hypotheses. Results imply that although TAM remains as a robust model for studying Moodle there are still important gaps to be addressed.

“…Para la obtención de estos beneficios el docente debe prestar más atención en la tipología del ejercicio, las características del individuo y el clima del grupo, por encima del entorno en el cual se realicen (Rogerson, Brown, Sandercock, Wooller, y Barton, 2016). Cuando estas actividades se desarrollan de forma sostenible tienen un alto potencial para desarrollar el respeto y compromiso con el medio ambiente en sus participantes (Chawla, 2020;Hanna et al, 2019;Høyem, 2020;Meerts-Brandsma, Lackey, y Warner, 2020) Los niveles de éxito académico de los estudiantes que reciben una educación en la cual se integra la AFMN, son mayores que en los estudiantes que únicamente reciben actividades en el aula (Aflalo, Montin, y Raviv, 2020;Avci y Gümüs, 2020).…”

Frenar el cambio climático y disminuir el impacto de la sociedad es uno de los grandes retos actuales. Ello implica educar a las nuevas generaciones en prácticas sostenibles en el medio natural, respeto y cuidado por el mismo. El docente de Educación Física tiene que trabajar entre sus contenidos la Actividad Física en el Medio Natural (AFMN), fomentando en el alumnado respetar y valorar el medio ambiente. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura de los artículos publicados sobre la AFMN y Educación Física desde los inicios a la actualidad para analizar el número de publicaciones y la temática principal de las mismas. Para realizar el análisis bibliográfico, se utilizó el Análisis Estadístico de Datos Textuales, apoyado en el uso del MANOVA Biplot, obteniendo un resultado final de 142 artículos. Como conclusiones, se constatan las primeras investigaciones en 2010, con un aumento significativo a partir de 2019. Se constata una evolución de las temáticas en 3 grupos de años diferentes: 1) recreación y el ocio, 2) educación y, 3) educación, salud y ocio responsable, siendo este último en el que se encuentran la mayoría de las investigaciones. Las AFMN pueden generar múltiples beneficios en los adolescentes en diferentes áreas como son la física y mental. También cabe destacar, que estas actividades generan en los practicantes un mayor respeto por el medio ambiente. Palabras clave: actividad en la naturaleza, deportes en la naturaleza, educación aventura, actividades al aire libre, emociones. Abstract. Curbing climate change and reducing its impact on society is one of the great challenges facing us today. It implies educating the new generations in sustainable practices in the natural environment, as well as respecting and caring for it. Physical Education teachers must include Physical Activity in the Natural Environment (AFMN) in their content, encouraging students to respect and value the environment. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic literature review of the articles published on AFMN and Physical Education from the beginning to the present day to analyze the number of publications and their main themes. For the bibliographic analysis, the Statistical Analysis of Textual Data was used, supported by the MANOVA Biplot, obtaining a final result of 142 articles. The conclusions drawn show that the first investigations were conducted in 2010, with a significant increase from 2019 onwards. An evolution of the themes was observed in 3 groups in different years: 1) recreation and leisure, 2) education and 3) education, health and responsible leisure, the latter being the one in which most research can be found. AFMN can generate multiple benefits for adolescents in different areas both physically and mentally. It should also be noted that these activities generate greater respect for the environment in participants. Key words: nature activity, nature sports, adventure education, outdoor activities, emotions

“…One reason was for this can be attributed to the authentic learning environment which enabled students to gain sensory experiences during their language learning classes. Studies reveal that students generally have a positive perception of learning outdoors as it provides students with opportunities for deeper exploration, active learning and authentic experiences (Aflalo et al, 2020;James & Williams, 2017;Shadiev et al, 2018). It allows interaction and engagement with a real environment, which can facilitate the meaning making and thinking process within the English language classroom.…”

Collaboration, communication, creative thinking, and critical thinking, or 4Cs, are important 21st century learning skills which prepare students to face challenges in the globalised world of the 21st century. In this paper, we explore the link between the 4Cs and a rather unconventional pedagogy, outdoor learning. In Malaysia, the outdoor learning space has not received much recognition and is often overlooked. Therefore, we sought the experiences of primary school English language teachers when engaging with outdoor learning to see how their practices reflected the 4Cs. Data were obtained through fivein-depth interviews with teachers and were analysed using an inductive approach. Two main themes which related to soft skills and thinking skills development were identified. It was found that outdoor learning had potential to enhance soft skills because it emphasised communication and collaboration. However, in terms of thinking skills we found that there is still room to engage more deeply and meaningfully with critical and creative 21st century learning skills. Currently, outdoor learning seems to be a rather grass-roots effort that happens at the discretion of individual teachers. Nevertheless, it has a role to play in nurturing critical and complex thinking and effective communication and collaboration which are needed for the 21st century.
