ideas

1-1.5 hrs tutorial
in which we explore and discuss the
readings YOU have done.

4. Outdoor Enviro Education?
A bit of a misnomer? I will tend to use OE
interchangeably with OEE as they will
become the same.
ACHPER misuses OE when they mean
outdoor recreation or outdoor pursuits.

6. Readings?
• There are readings to do
most weeks.
• Available now on Moodle
– or in hard copy.
• If you don’t read you will
MISS vital content and the
class will be boring…
7. Readings?
• Five specific tutorials will
discuss YOUR questions
from the readings.
–
(Wks 5,6,8,9 & 10) (questions are fine anytime though!)
• Tutorials should be
interactive and interesting
–
we share the responsibility to make them so.
13. Course goals
• Clarify personal ideologies with respect to
both the environment & education
• Explore ideas and practices of OE
• Need to be clear in your reasons for
teaching OEE and how it sits in schooling
• Philosophy will/should be dynamic
– Pub chat to job interview to a school or National curriculum?
15. Four main components of
curriculum
Content
Process
Context
= what is taught.
= how it is taught.
= the circumstances in
which it is taught.
Outcomes = what is learned.
16. Process
Processes of learning
= methods
– the how of teaching.
OE often thought of and written
about as experiential learning.
(especially in Nth America).
17. Most common model of
process in OE is the
experiential learning cycle
(David Kolb 1984)
23. Outcomes?
…are what students come
away learning – understanding,
doing, feeling…
(Sometimes “outcome” is used to describe aims or
goals. Eg. On the VCE OES design)
24. In OE, outcomes have been
traditionally described as
being:
• about the self;
• about the community or others and;
• about the natural world or nature.
(technical outdoor skills)
(promote, enhance academic learning. USA, NZ EOTC.)
25. What outcomes do you hold
to be most important for you
at this point?
27. Content??
• …write an example of
specific content you think
OK for OE in, say, a year
10 OE class.
• Check it with a mate to
ensure it is content, not a
process or outcome.
– Emphasis? Taken for granted assumptions?
• POST!

Notes de l'éditeur
In this course, we are exploring what it means to you.
Is OEE just a process? What is the key content? What does it matter?
