ABSTRACT

This study investigated the involvement of Italian preschool and primary school teachers in outdoor education and scouting activities and their association with student cooperation and personal care. While outdoor education has various psychophysiological, psychosocial, social, and pedagogical benefits, some teachers express concerns about their readiness to implement such activities. We hypothesized that preschool teachers are more willing to participate in outdoor education and scouting than primary school teachers. We also hypothesized that outdoor education teachers would score higher in all survey items compared to regular teachers (see Table 2). The results indicated no significant difference between preschool and primary school teachers. However, there were differences in the survey items between outdoor education and regular teachers, except for item 11. The study suggests that providing appropriate instruction and teaching tools to teachers, their students’ schooling experiences and skills are likely to improve.

摘要

本研究调查了意大利学前班和小学教师参与户外教育和侦察活动的情况，以及他们与学生合作和个人照顾的关系。虽然户外教育具有各种心理生理、社会心理、社会和教学方面的好处，但一些教师对他们是否准备好开展此类活动表示担忧。我们假设学前教师比小学教师更愿意参与户外教育和考察。我们还假设与普通教师相比，户外教育教师在所有调查项目中的得分更高（见表 2）。结果表明，幼儿园和小学教师之间没有显着差异。但户外教育与普通教师在调查项目上存在差异，
