Abstract

Abstract In the field of school-based outdoor education, researchers claim that pre-service teachers should already be provided with basic knowledge, skills, and methods for teaching curriculum-based content outdoors in their initial schoolteacher training. The present review aims to summarize and structure the variety of topics in the literature regarding outdoor teaching in initial formal schoolteacher training. We analyzed the general characteristics of 46 empirical studies from different regions that investigate skills, content areas, and pedagogical strategies to prepare pre-service teachers from early childhood to secondary education for teaching outdoors. We used deductive-inductive content analysis to identify categories and emerging themes. We identified eight themes in the reviewed studies, of which we detail and discuss the four most frequently mentioned: collaboration, creativity, strategies for outdoor learning and sustainability. We discuss the implications for further research and for teacher training.

从幼儿到中等教育的初始正规教师培训中户外教学研究的新兴主题-文献综述

在校本户外教育领域，研究者认为职前教师在最初的学校教师培训中就应该掌握户外课程内容教学的基本知识、技能和方法。本综述旨在总结和组织有关初任正规学校教师培训中户外教学的各种主题的文献。我们分析了来自不同地区的46项实证研究的总体特征，这些研究调查了从幼儿教育到中学教育的职前教师在户外教学中的技能、内容领域和教学策略。我们使用演绎-归纳内容分析来确定类别和新兴主题。我们在审查的研究中确定了八个主题，其中我们详细讨论了最常提到的四个主题:合作、创造力、户外学习策略和可持续性。我们讨论了进一步研究和教师培训的意义。
