Skolors användning av grönområden : En studie om hur skolor använder utomhuspedagogik i grönområden

Sammanfattning: This study investigates how schools use green areas and what obstacles the schools meet in using green areas. In two different schools in the suburbs of Stockholm students from year 9, teachers and the school management have been interviewed. With the key concepts ofenvironmental justice, sense of place and outdoor education this study has been trying to get a deeper understanding of the schools use of green areas. According to the regulatory document LGR 11 schools must strive to make students aware of the environment close to them, something outside education have been shown to achieve. Teachers did not agree in what obstacles there was for having outdoor education in green areas and far from all the students were interested of being educated in green areas. The two schools had different approaches to outdoor education and usage of green areas. Why that is can is hard to answer but accordingto the school management from one of the schools it could have to do with lack of school traditions regarding outdoor education.
