Connections and Disconnections

Résumé du livre

This symposium aimed to focus on the role of research in exploring how the field addresses its claims. It asked: With what kinds of relationships and knowledge is outdoor education concerned? How important is the cultural and geographical context or the pedagogical process in developing such relationships? What is the role of broader social, cultural or education theory in understanding outdoor education? What are the connections between theory and practice and what are future directions for the field? The conference built on the International Conference held at Buckinghamshire-Chilterns University (UK) in 2002 and aimed to foster an international community of researchers whose work critically examines outdoor education theory and practice. By bringing together researchers and potential researchers it offered the opportunity to share research methods, findings and issues.
