The term 'outdoor learning' covers many forms of practice outside
the classroom, including Forest School and outdoor play. Outdoor
learning has been rapidly growing as a topic of interest for
educators and parents over the last ten years, and research
published in this field is also increasing. Despite the fact that
we are inextricably part of the natural world, there is concern
that contemporary children have become disconnected from nature and
that their opportunities to access natural environments are
declining. Given compelling evidence that time spent in natural
places has multiple benefits for human health and wellbeing and
pro-environmental behaviour (Bourn et al., 2016), there is an
impetus to find ways to increase children's exposure to and
attachment to nature through their education. The chapters in this
book were originally peer-reviewed articles published in Education
3-13: International Journal of Primary, Elementary and Early Years
Education. They are amongst the most popular in the journal,
reflecting the demand for more evidence of outcomes and
high-quality information about how best to implement outdoor
learning for children in this age group. The authors report
qualitative and quantitative studies and consider implications of
the findings for children and their development, and for the
integration (or not) of natural environment contexts within school
practices. Gathering this body of evidence together in a single
volume enables important messages about outdoor learning's various
purposes, processes and outcomes to be more readily accessed by
practitioners, policy makers and researchers.
