Sometimes a tree grows too fast.
It grows ahead of its roots.You need to allow time for
the roots to take hold.(Anonymous saying about “life”)

Social Interdependence Theory (Johnson, D. & Johnson, R.. (2002). Cooperative learning and social interdependence theory. Theory and
Research on Small Groups. Social Psychological Applications to Social Issues . (4) pp. 9-35)
• “Social interdependence exists when individuals share common goals and each individual’s outcomes are affected by the actions of others (Deutsch, 1949, 1962; Johnson & Johnson, 1989 in Johnson & Johnson, 2002. p. 4)

Group members promote each other’s success by: (Johnson & Johnson, 1989)
• Giving & receiving help• Exchanging resources & information• Giving & receiving feedback• Challenging each other’s reasoning• Advocating increased efforts to achieve• Mutually influencing each other’s reasoning & behavior• Engaging in the interpersonal & small-group skills for
effective teamwork• Processing group members effectiveness for the whole
group’s improvement

Experiential Education
Experiential education is a process through which the learner constructs
knowledge, skill, and value from direct experiences (AEE, 11/3/94)
![Page 13: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Experiential Learning Requisites (Dewey, 1938)
• Simple NOT Easy• Highly Planned NOT Spontaneous• Meaningful NOT Meaning-less (exp.
For sake of exp.)• Authentic NOT Contrived• Rooted in Empiricism NOT Laissez faire• Constructs from Personal Meaning
![Page 14: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Individual MORE THAN Group• Structured NOT Phenomenological• Requires Judgment of Instructor NOT
Unguided• Understanding Cause & Effect requires
REFLECTION

Essential Elements of Experiential Education (Terwilliger, 1995)
• RELEVANCE: of the experience to the learner
• PROGRESSIVE: experiences build on past knowledge & experiences
• AUTHENTIC: outcomes are concrete with real consequences
COMBINED WITH THE OUTWARD BOUND MODEL:• CHALLENGING: important to stay w/in potential
ability• REFLECTION: ”processing” helps to shift from
extrinsic to intrinsic benefits

Outdoor Education
“Outdoor Education is the blending of both adventure and environmental approaches into
a program of activities or experiences. Through exposure to the outdoor setting,
individuals learn about their relationship with the natural environment, relationships
between the various concepts of natural ecosystems, and personal relationships with
others and with their inner self.” (Priest, 1986)
![Page 19: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Definition of Outdoor Education (Priest, S. 1986. p. 13)
“Outdoor education: 1) is a method for learning; 2) is experiential; 3) takes primarily in the outdoors; 4) requires uses of all senses and domains; 5) is based upon interdisciplinary curriculum matter; 6) And is a matter of relationships involving people and natural
resources. The metaphorical model of a tree describes two approaches to outdoor education. Adventure education relates to interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. Environmental education concentrates on ecosystemic and ekistic relationships.”

Definition of Environmental Education
“Environmental education is aimed at approaching a citizenry that is knowledgeable concerning the
biophysical environment and its associated problems, aware of how to solve those problems, and motivated to work toward their solution.” (Stapp, B., et.al., (1969). Journal of Environmental Education. 1,1. p. 34.)
![Page 25: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Definitions of Environmental Education
• Environmental education is learnng that produces an environmentally responsible citizenry (Hine, Hungerford & Tomera, 1987)
![Page 26: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“Environmental education is the process of recognizing values and clarifying concepts in order to develop skill and attitudes necessary to understand and appreciate the inter-relatedness among man, his culture, and his bio-physical surroundings. Environmental education also entails practice in decision-making and seelf-formulation of a code of behavior about issues concerning environmental quality.” (International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) & United Nations Education and Cultural Organization (UNESC)) in Palmer. (1998). P 7.)
![Page 27: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Approaches to Environmental Education (Scott & Gough, 1993)
• Nature Appreciation• Wilderness Preservation• Earth Salvation• Environmental Issues Resolution• Species Protection• Environmental Ethics• Science Education outside

What is Sustainability?
• Brundtlund Commission Report, Our Common Future (1987)
o “Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
• Sustainability Education:Putting the concept intopractice for citizens.

Start where the student is at
NOTWhere you want them
to be (Ausubel, 1975; Constructivism)

THE BELGRADE CHARTER(Goal statement for environmental education from the 1975 UNESCO conference)
THE GOAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IS TO
DEVELOP A WORLD POPULATION THAT IS AWARE
OF, AND CONCERNED ABOUT, THE TOTAL
ENVIRONMENT AND ITS ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS,
AND WHICH HAS THE KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES,
SKILLS, MOTIVATION, AND COMMITMENT TO WORK
INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY TOWARD
SOLUTIONS OF CURRENT PROBLEMS AND THE
PREVENTION OF NEW ONES.

Interpretation
• “An educational activity which aims to reveal meanings and relationships through the use of original objects, by firsthand experience, and by illustrative media, rather than simply to communicate factual information.” (Tilden, 1957, p. 8)
![Page 35: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What is Interp??
• An informal education process
• “A process of communicating ideas and feelings which help people to understand more about themselves and the environment.”
Interpretation Association Australia.

Six Principles of Interpretation (Freeman Tilden, 1957, p9)
• If it doesn’t relate, it is sterile• Information is not interpretation. (Rather,
it is revelation based upon information.)• Interpretation is an art. (Any art is teachable)• The chief aim is provocation (not instruction)
• It should present a whole.• It should be age appropriate (not a “dilution” of
adult material.)
![Page 39: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Beck and Cable’s 15 Principles of Interpretation
1. To spark an interest, interpreters must relate the subject to the lives of visitors
2. The purpose of interpretation goes beyond providing information to reveal deeper meaning and truth
3. The interpretive presentation – as a work of art – should be designed as a story that informs, entertains and enlightens.
4. The purpose of the interpretive story is to inspire and provoke people to broaden their horizons
5. Interpretation should present a complete theme or thesis and address the whole person.
![Page 40: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Beck and Cable’s Principles
6. Interpretation for children, teenagers and seniors – when these comprise uniform groups – should follow fundamentally different approaches.
7. Every place has a history. Interpreters can bring the past alive to make the present more enjoyable and the future more meaningful.
8. High technology can reveal the world in exciting new ways. However, incorporating this technology into the interpretive program must be done with foresight and care.
9. Interpreters must concern themselves with the quantity and quality (selection and accuracy) of information presented. Focused well-researched interpretation will be more powerful than a longer discourse.
![Page 41: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Beck and Cable’s Principles
10. Before applying the arts in interpretation, the interpreter must be familiar with basic communication techniques. Quality interpretation depends on the interpreter’s knowledge and skills, which should be developed continually.
11. Interpretive writing should address what readers would like to know, with the authority and wisdom and the humility and care that comes with it.
12. The overall interpretive program must be capable of attracting support – financial, volunteer, political, administrative – whatever support is needed for the program to flourish.
13. Interpretation should instil in people the ability, and the desire, to sense the beauty in their surroundings – to provide spiritual uplift and to encourage resource preservation.
![Page 42: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Beck and Cable’s Principles
14. Interpreters can promote optimal experiences through intentional and thoughtful program and facility design.
15. Passion is the essential ingredient for powerful and effective interpretation – passion for the resource and for those people who come to be inspired by the same.
Beck and Cable, 1998, Interpretation for the 21st Century

Essential Elements of Constructivism(Terwilliger, 1995)
• PRECONCEPTIONS MATTER• RELEVANCE (PERSONAL MEANING)• CONCEPTUAL LEARNING (V. FACTUAL)• COGNITIVE DISSONANCE (FOLLOWED BY
RESTRUCTURE:FREEZE-THAW-REFREEZE)• SUPPORTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
(PHYSICAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY: MASLOW)

Constructivist Teaching Sequence (Driver & Oldham, 1986)
• Orientation (motivation)• Elicitation (awareness)• Restructuring (conflict, alternatives)• Application (consolidation, reinforcement)• Review = reflection (learn about learning)
![Page 49: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Native American Learning(Reyes, 1989)(Multi-Cultural (Banks & Banks))
• Use family instructional techniques: Demonstration & imitation
• Let children learn from children• Teach through stories and legends• Utilize visual skills (observation, visual
discrimination, and spatial configuration)• Employ active learning strategies• Advance holistic intuitive learning
(process information from whole to part to understand unity in the large situation)

Indian Learning Styles(Banks, J. & Banks, C. (1995). Handbook of research on multicultural education. Macmillon. Pp
490-491.
• Field dependent/independent learning styles are unreliable, espec. group specific.
• Yet, the research literature overview concludes similarly to Native American, Hispanic & African American that these groups tend to be field dependent in their learning styles.
![Page 51: Theories & Models in Outdoor Education](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/568164d4550346895dd707b1/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Indian Learning Styles (summary)
• Prefer visual, spatial, and perceptual information rather than verbal.
• Learn privately rather than in public.• Use mental images to remember and
understand words and concepts rather than word associations.
• Watch and then do rather than employ trial and error.

• Have well-formed spatial ability.• Learn best from non-verbal
mechanisms.• Learn experientially & in natural settings• Have a generalist orientation, interest in
people & things• Value conciseness of speech, slightly
varied intonation, & limited vocal range.• Prefer small-group work.• Favor wholistic presentations and visual
