Utomhuspedagogisk undervisning : Lärandet utomhus och miljöns betydelse

Sammanfattning: The aim of this study is to find ways to have outdoor tuition with preschool children. The study also researches how to do outdoors to promote children's learning and to know what pedagogical leaders think about outdoor pedagogy. The study is based on six questionnaires and two interviews where both pedagogical leaders and preschool teachers participated. We used a sociocultural perspective and phenomenological perspective when we analyzed the answers. The results of the study show that there are several ways to have outdoor tuition that promotes children's learning in different ways. The respondents of this study give many suggestions on how the tuition can look like and what strategies to use. One way to have tuitions outside can be to use activity cards where children get different missions to do or things to get and compare with each other in the woods. Another way is to use theme-based boxes with materials sorted in categories, for example a coloring box or a building- and construction box. All the responders answer that they think outdoor pedagogy is important and see benefits with having tuitions outdoors. The study concludes in the researchers own reflections about this study. The study suggests that tuitions should be educative and lust-filled for the children in preschool and to capture their interests. The tuition you do inside a preschool you also can do in other places, in other local environments that lay near the preschool for example in the woods or at a playground.
