A pedagogy of place refers to an alternative vision for outdoor
education practice. This timely book, A Pedagogy of Place, calls
into question some of the underlying assumptions and truths about
outdoor education, and in turn offers alternatives to current
practice that are responsive to local conditions and cultural
traditions. In this renewal of outdoor education philosophy and
practice, the emphasis is upon responding to, and empathising with,
the outdoors as particular places, rich in local meaning and
significance. Current outdoor education theory and practice is
influenced by cultural ideas about risk and adventure, and by
psychological theories of personal and social development. However,
in recent decades the professional discourse of outdoor education
has made a noticeable shift to include education for the
environment and nature. This has resulted in a mismatch between
theory and practice: traditional notions of proving oneself against
the challenges of the outdoors are antithetical to the development
of an empathetic relationship with outdoor places, which growing
concern with todays environment demands. This book will be the
first of its kind to articulate a renewal of philosophy and
practice for outdoor education that is in keeping with the
educational needs of todays young people as they grapple with
considerable social and ecological changes in a rapidly changing
world. The authors draw extensively on international, national and
local literature and provide compelling case studies drawn from the
Australian and New Zealand contexts.
