Outdoor education and school curriculum distinctiveness: More than content, more than process
The paper argues outdoor education's distinctiveness in the school curriculum lies in neither content nor process but in ways of being.
What's new
The author explores two recent approaches to outdoor education's position in the school curriculum: distinctiveness and indispensability. He argues that its distinctiveness lies in neither a body of knowledge (content) nor skills and practices (process) but in a deeper level of educational understanding which emphasises ways of being.
