OUTDOOR EDUCATION To Improve Pupils’ Participation And Prevent School Drop-Out

Outdoor education is an innovative teaching method in which daily school moments are carried out of the classroom and into your neighborhood or a local area of interest. Outdoor learning implies regular and purpose-driven activities outside of the class.
O.E. has now a literature with theories and practices, manuals and research, new experiences and examples of existing networks.

Description

Outdoor education is an innovative teaching method in which daily school moments are carried out of the classroom and into your neighborhood or a local area of interest. Outdoor learning implies regular and purpose-driven activities outside of the class.

O.E. has now a literature with theories and practices, manuals and research, new experiences and examples of existing networks. 

The working method allows students to use their bodies and senses in learning activities that expose them to the real world for personal and hands-on experiences. Outdoor learning provides space for academic activities, communication, social interaction, experiences, spontaneity, play, curiosity, and imagination. Outdoor education is covering all school subjects in an integrated education where outdoor and indoor activities are closely linked. Students learn in an authentic context: this means learning about nature in nature, about society in society, and the local environment within the local environment. (Jordet 1998:24).

During the activity week (6 days), participants work in direct contact with the local natural contexts experiencing various opportunities to practice outdoor activities in order to integrate new activities into their own teaching routines. The main method connected with Outdoor education is the so-called Non-Formal education. The program also includes activities in other social spaces in the city of Soverato like countyeards of partner schools, local libraries or the green spaces in front of the beach.

Due to the particular location of JUMP on the Ionian coast, we pay special attention to environmental issues and attitudes protecting the sea and our beautiful natural landscapes. 

After an opening day, the training participants will learn the basics in theory and practice of Outdoor education, which has a long tradition but also different perspectives at local, European, and global levels. You can usually spend two core days of the week in a local school.

JUMP always structures its training to develop transversal competencies such as: 

  • creativity
  • the spirit of initiative
  • flexibility towards change, motivation, passion, and open-mindedness. Outdoor Lessons and the general outdoor approach go far beyond spaces and materials. They imply a change in school habits, and teachers leave their “comfort zone” – the safe and protected classroom. 

Below are five fundamental reasons why we believe outdoor learning improves educational outcomes for all.

  1. Children’s mental health and well-being improve.
  2. Children’s relationship with nature improves.
  3. Education is more inclusive.
  4. Curriculum learning is improved.
  5. The development of the child is enhanced.

This training represents the perfect combination of different elements, from theories to real practice. It’s mainly developed in outdoor environments.

Learning objectives

  • Understanding different terms, definitions and approaches in the literature of outdoor education/outdoor learning, experiential, adventure learning
  • Learning about the European and the global framework, the EU documents and guidelines and the connection with the Green Deal
  • Experiencing tools and methods using concretely outdoor activities learning with other teachers
  • Understanding the differences of the target groups, benefits of using outdoor education, especially fighting drop out and ensuring inclusion
  • Developing different types of lesson plans experimenting creativity, critical thinking and working in nature

Methodology & assessment

Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

JUMP provides, after the completion of the course, all presentations, training materials and any other digital and learning tools used during the training sessions. Furthermore, extra materials are sent if there are updates and new ones researched afterwards. 

Certification details

At the end of the training, JUMP delivers a formal certificate of attendance and the team is at the disposal to fill the Europass certification document according to the EU model template and other needed documents for reporting to the sending institution.

 

Our courses are in line with the Erasmus+ Quality standards for courses under Key Action 1 (learning mobility of individuals)
