Outdoor education is developing children's skills

A recent study confirmed that outdoor learning has a positive impact on the development of children's skills but needs to adopt the decision makers.

And with diminishing chances of children spend some time outdoors researchers noted that childhood features change dramatically, and warned that denial of the exposure to the natural environment may have a long term negative consequences.

Researchers say that establishing a Centre for outdoor learning "would help teachers also help to develop policies and strategies to deal with the problem.

The report highlighted earlier studies have shown that with increasing concerns of parents add to the diminishing sense of security in communities, opportunities for children to explore the natural environment surrounding them.

That could hamper the social skills for children and hinders emotional and motor and overall health in the long term. Therefore, it is important not to overlook the schools need opportunities for learning outdoors to fill this gap.

Sue Witt, said a participant in the preparation of the report, University of Plymouth, United Kingdom "outdoor learning is part of the school curriculum in England at the moment, largely because of teachers ' knowledge of the value of this kind of learning."

"The increased focus on educational attainment may generate pressure on teachers to stay in the classroom, which means losing the children many experiences which were nomination said during their working lives."

According to the study, the main benefits that would accrue to children from adopting that method in education is a healthy body and a healthy mind, creating social and confident personality, and the ability to innovate and participate in society.

Witt noted that the report showed that despite having a wide range of research that supports outdoor learning in formal and informal contexts, it is likely to remain on the fringes of the educational process until you identify the benefits by decision makers with consequent reflection in Policy.

It called for the adoption of outdoor learning in the curriculum in different countries.

She said Professor Karen Malone to participate in the study from the University of Western Sydney to "report urges researchers and decision makers to adopt the results of the study for a better future for children.
