”Man åker ju inte bara ut i skogen för att ställa upp ett tält, utan också för att sitta vid en eld och mysa och känna ett lugn” : En kvalitativ studie om undervisning och bedömning i friluftsliv
Sammanfattning: Aim The aim with this study is to investigate how teachers in physical education are teaching and working with assessment in outdoor education. Further on, we also want to see how the geographical location of each school might be a factor to consider when it comes to the conditions for managing outdoor education. The following issues have been used: How does teachers implement outdoor education in their teaching in physical education? What conditions, for example, economic, time, or the vicinity to nature, does one has to consider important to teach outdoor education? In what ways do the teachers work with the content of the curriculum and how do they create situations for assessment. In what way do the teachers look at how the different conditions affect the education in outdoor education itself? Method Our study is based on qualitative interviews where the focus was to understand how and why the teachers looked upon certain areas within outdoor education, rather than gathering quantitative facts. There were six certified teachers being interviewed from upper secondary schools in Jämtland, Södermanland, Småland and Västergötland. As the interviews began we assured all the participants their answers were confidential and that they could end the interview at any time. The interviews were held over Skype with a voice recorder. Results The results we found were that most of the teachers had a very similar way of looking at outdoor education. Most of them agreed that conditions such as, economic, time and material, plays a big part when it comes to what education they will be able to implement. The teachers also found a connection between the location of the school and what type of outdoor education they can carry through. All of them thought that the activity itself should be in focus, and that will decide in what environment it will take place. Conclusions The conclusion we can make based on the findings of this study was that many teachers looked at the limitations of outdoor education and therefore decided that it was a difficult element to work with. With a wider view toward outdoor education one could interpret the curriculum in multiple ways, and then find new possibilities with outdoor education. If one were to look at the four overall perspectives, written in the curriculum, one could easily work with environmental sustainability and the historical aspects of the different places one has access to.
