A new study conducted on outdoor learning suggested that in a time where busier family lifestyles are the norm, outdoor learning should be introduced in the global school curriculum to improve the children's performance and quality of life.Parents may want to expose your kids to nature more as according to a recent study, it could yield extraordinary results.
The study also suggested that outdoor learning needs to be introduced more formally into global school curricula in order for its potential benefits to be fully realized
The report by Plymouth University and Western Sydney University highlights the many and varied benefits to children of learning in the natural environment, not just from an educational perspective but also in terms of their behavior, social skills, health and well being, resilience, confidence and sense of place.
But it also says that in an age dominated by a full curriculum, busier family lifestyles and increased fear within society, children are losing the freedom to play, explore and be active in their environment and being denied opportunities that could enhance their long term prospects.
The report identifies a framework showing how governments could build on existing and current research and introduce outdoor learning as an integral element of national education policies.
