- <meta content="In their review of evidence-based research entitled A Review of Research on Outdoor
- Learning, Rickinson et al. (2004) identify five key constraints that limit the amount of
- outdoor learning. This paper explores whether green school grounds might be a location
- where these constraints could be minimised. Specifically, it reports on a study that
- sought to investigate the use of green school grounds as sites for outdoor learning, to
- identify barriers that impede such use, and to examine how these barriers differ from
- those cited in Rickinson et al.'s review. A mixed method approach was used: (1) 149
- questionnaires were completed by administrators, teachers, and parents associated
- with 45 school ground greening initiatives in a Canadian school board; (2) 21 follow-up
- interviews were completed at five of the schools. Study participants reported that green
- school grounds are used regularly for teaching some subjects, notably science and
- physical education, but considerably less for teaching language arts, mathematics, and
- geography. They also identified a series of barriers that limit the amount of outdoor
- learning and these are compared to those identified by Rickinson et al. (2004). This
- paper concludes with a discussion of how the opportunities for teaching and learning
- on green school grounds can be more fully maximised." name="eprints.abstract" />

- Learning, Rickinson et al. (2004) identify five key constraints that limit the amount of
- outdoor learning. This paper explores whether green school grounds might be a location
- where these constraints could be minimised. Specifically, it reports on a study that
- sought to investigate the use of green school grounds as sites for outdoor learning, to
- identify barriers that impede such use, and to examine how these barriers differ from
- those cited in Rickinson et al.'s review. A mixed method approach was used: (1) 149
- questionnaires were completed by administrators, teachers, and parents associated
- with 45 school ground greening initiatives in a Canadian school board; (2) 21 follow-up
- interviews were completed at five of the schools. Study participants reported that green
- school grounds are used regularly for teaching some subjects, notably science and
- physical education, but considerably less for teaching language arts, mathematics, and
- geography. They also identified a series of barriers that limit the amount of outdoor
- learning and these are compared to those identified by Rickinson et al. (2004). This
- paper concludes with a discussion of how the opportunities for teaching and learning
- on green school grounds can be more fully maximised.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Published by Channel View Publications.
