Abstract

Abstract Physical activity levels are alarmingly low and new strategies must be adopted to prevent this trend. This study focuses on examining the impact of an outdoor adventure education programme on adolescents. The participants were 75 adolescent students aged 12–14. The programme lasted two school years. Students participated in extracurricular schoolyard outdoor activities and outdoor adventure activities conducted during the two one-day and one four-day trips in both school years. A qualitative methodology was used with data collected using semi-structured interviews. At the end of each school year, 12 students were interviewed. Data analysis revealed that the programme promoted basic psychological needs. More specifically, adolescents reported that schoolyard activities and outdoor adventure activities promoted their satisfaction with autonomy, competence and relatedness. Interestingly, the programme gave girls the autonomy to choose activities that promoted their competence and interaction with peers in a better way than a typical PE lesson. Modifying existing curricula with innovative practices or planning new ones could improve the general quality of life.

参加为期两年的户外探险活动后的感受和经验

体育活动水平低得惊人，必须采取新的策略来防止这种趋势。本研究的重点是考察户外冒险教育方案对青少年的影响。参与者是75名12-14岁的青少年学生。这个项目持续了两个学年。学生们在两个学年的两次一日游和一次四天游中参加了课外校园户外活动和户外探险活动。采用定性方法，采用半结构化访谈收集数据。每学年结束时，对12名学生进行采访。数据分析显示，该方案促进了基本的心理需求。更具体地说，青少年报告校园活动和户外冒险活动提高了他们对自主性，能力和相关性的满意度。有趣的是，该项目让女孩们自主选择能够提高她们能力和与同龄人互动的活动，这种方式比典型的体育课更好。用创新的做法修改现有的课程或规划新的课程可以提高生活的总体质量。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
