    Outdoor education involves organized learning that takes place outdoors through activities like camping, kayaking, and rock climbing. It provides depth to the curriculum and allows different learning styles through a novel environment. Adventure education focuses on building confidence and leadership through experiential learning of challenging activities done individually or in teams. Environmental education teaches about natural systems and developing problem-solving skills to address environmental issues. Both use experiential learning cycles, student-generated rules, and challenge-by-choice to develop interpersonal, intrapersonal, and cognitive skills while connecting to education standards. Assessment includes group processing, portfolios, and informal debriefing. The model provides a healthy learning environment through self-discovery and relationship-building.

    makes an important contribution to students’ physical,
    personal and social education (Why is Outdoor Education
    Important?).

     Allows students to experience a different learning style


    by being in a different environment and using different
    skills.

    Environmental Education

     Definition- Teaches students how the planets physical


    and biological systems work, and how we can create a
    more sustainable future (Environmental Education, 2012).
    Environmental education
    teaches individuals how to
    weigh various sides of an
    issue through critical
    thinking and it enhances
    their own problem-solving
    and decision-making skills
    (Environmental Education
    and Literacy, 2012).
    .
    Components of
    Environmental Education
     Awareness and sensitivity to the environment and
    environmental challenges.
     Knowledge and understanding of the environment
    and environmental challenges.
     Attitudes of concern for the environment and
    motivation to improve or maintain environmental
    quality
     Skills to identify and help resolve environmental
    challenges
     Participation in activities that lead to the resolution of
    environmental challenges
    (Environmental Education and Literacy, 2012)
    Adventure Education

     Definition- Focuses on building self-confidence and


    leadership qualities through experiential and
    collaborative learning (Maatta, 2012).

     Adventure learning occurs outdoors, incorporating


    extreme conditions, and online through "expedition"
    activities. It combines experiential learning with
    decision-making, team building and the application
    of real-world situations to the learning environment
    (Maatta, 2012).
    Components of Adventure
    Education
     Independence & Personal Responsibility
     Simplicity
     Creativity
     Ownership
     Concern, Fairness, Empathy and Openness.
     Self-directed Learning
     Cooperation and Teamwork
     Interactivity
     Physical Activity
     Positive Reinforcement
    (Panicucci, 2002)
    Essential Practices of
    Adventure Education
     The Experiential Learning Cycle

     Full Value Contract

     Challenge by Choice

     A process not outcome based curriculum model


    Experiential Learning
    Cycle
     Experiential Learning Cycle
     “Learning is the process whereby knowledge is
    created through the transformation of experience”
    (David A. Kolb, 1984).

    http://serc.carleton.edu/images/introgeo/enviroprojects/kolb_cycle.gif
    Full Value Contract

     Guideline for what is expected from students


    during class
     Written by students and teacher together
     Gives students some responsibility
     Students help make the rules so they will be more
    likely to follow them

    (Panicucci, 2002)
    Challenge by Choice

     “Coaxing young people into doing a difficult task or


    element teaches them only that they can be talked
    into doing something. On the other hand, helping
    students to see that they have the right and ability
    to choose their level of challenge, and how to assess
    what is and isn’t an appropriate level of challenge,
    teaches them how to make positive decisions for life
    (Panicucci, 2002).”
    Benefits of Adventure
    Education
     Interpersonal Skills
     Trust, teamwork, effective communication,
    cooperation

     Intrapersonal Skills
     Leadership, decision making, self confidence
    Activities Included in
    Adventure Education
     Ropes Course

     Initiatives

     Team building activities

    (Adventure Activities from Headrush Outbound ,


    2012)
    Confusion between Outdoor
    Education and Adventure
    Education
     OUTDOORS!

     Adventure Ed is based more on team building


    activities, but can also be outdoors.
    Role of the Teacher

     Enforce safety and rules


     Spotting and all other safety areas

     Be a problem presenter, not a problem solver


     Modify the challenge if too easy or hard for students

     Encourage

     Create atmosphere so all students feel comfortable


    to participate
    Value of The Model

     Students will gain:


     Leadership skills
     self-confidence
     Teamwork skills
     Decision-making skills

     Unique Contribution
     Allows the students to get away from the normal classroom
    environment.
     Might draw more enthusiasm out of the students with the
    change in environment.
    Connection to the
    Standards
     Standards 5 and 6 are major focus (NH Guidelines 6 and
    5)
     Intent of standard 5 is to develop self-initiated behaviors
    to promote personal and group success
     Standard 6 is achieved when students develop an
    awareness of intrinsic and extrinsic values and benefits
    of participating in adventure activities
     Also helps achieve the cognitive focus of Standard 2 (NH
    Guideline 4)
    (Lund & Tannehill, 2010)
    Assessment

     Standard 6
     Group processing
     Have students create own initiative

     Formal
     Portfolio

     Informal
     Group processing (debriefing)

    (Lund & Tannehill, 2010)


    Concluding Thoughts

     We feel this model is very important to keep a


    healthy learning environment. Self-discovery and
    building communication skills is important for the
    class as well. Trust, respect, and teamwork also
    helps for the class climate. We would include this
    model in our curriculum because of these positives
    listed above.
