Outdoor Environmental Education: Grounding a Tradition Within Environmental Education

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Outdoor Environmental Education in the Contemporary World

Part of the book series: International Explorations in Outdoor and Environmental Education ((IEOEE,volume 12))

Abstract

Outdoor education and environmental education developed as separate educational movements, each with distinctive aspects but also closely related, sharing some common content and underlying educational pedagogies. This chapter seeks to anchor this association leading to outdoor environmental education (OEE) as a contemporary form of environmental education in which the outdoors provides a setting conducive for meaningful teaching and learning in environmental education. The chapter opens with a brief presentation of the historical development of each field, continues in identifying several social–environmental factors and educational theories that lay the grounds for linking OE and EE. Through these, this chapter claims that the features of OEE contribute to its promise as progressive transformative education for cultivating environmental citizenship. Many educational systems still do not acknowledge the outdoors as legitimate learning settings that can promote meaningful learning in the contemporary world. This chapter closes in addressing some of the ongoing practical challenges confronting OEE that arise from this situation.
