USING THE OUTDOORS TO IMPROVE PRIMARY SCIENCE EDUCATION: APPROACHES AND BITS OF KNOWLEDGE
Abstract
This study explores the use of outdoor environments to enhance primary science education, focusing on innovative approaches and valuable insights. Recognizing the limitations of traditional classroom settings, outdoor learning provides unique opportunities for hands-on exploration, experimentation, and contextual understanding of scientific concepts. Drawing on diverse educational practices and empirical research, this paper examines how outdoor teaching enriches students' engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes in science. Key considerations include curriculum integration, teacher training, logistical challenges, and the impact of outdoor experiences on student attitudes towards science. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating outdoor education into primary science curriculum to foster holistic learning experiences and cultivate scientific literacy from an early age.
