The Role of Outdoor Education in Education for the 21st Century.
Cooper, Geoff
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v11 n2 p9-12 Sum 1994
Outdoor education can play a vital role in developing the understanding, skills, and attitudes needed to encourage a more sustainable lifestyle for the coming century. Direct experiences with nature engage the whole person, develop a feeling of kinship with the Earth, encourage alternatives to mechanistic thinking and materialistic values, and enable all students to experience success.
