Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Outdoor education and emotional development

Comments
Hi, I think another area that would really add to the content of this topic is to consider how outdoor education is influential in emotional development across different physiological milestones and child development stages. This Wikipedia article may help provide you with some more information in regards to this. I feel this would be a good opportunity to collaborate on our book chapters. My chapter on workplace stress and motivation considers stress management techniques which I believe could be drawn from your topic considering the connection between the environment in which one belongs. If you would like to collaborate I would love for you to reach out. Many thanks, Jaimee. --U3160654 (discuss • contribs) 06:35, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

Great page! Clear explanation of the topic and concepts that are being introduced. I think it would be interesting to incorporate a section on how outdoor education generates a deeper level of understanding, as these events showcase individual's 'true colours'. It also allows for people to make deeper connections with other through stressful events (dealing with heights, water and other fears) and also team building activities - strengthens communication, leadership and accomplishment. Furthermore, it generates self evaluation and opportunities to reflect on yourself as an individual. You could also incorporate some info on how outdoor education actually improves neural connections. It might be interesting to record which types of outdoor education are most effective - 5 day camps, single day camps, water sports, bush/hiking, outward bound etc. and how prevalent these activities are in Aussie schools https://www.ed.ac.uk/education/institutes/etl/outdoor-education/academic-courses/personal-social-dev, https://australiancurriculum.edu.au/resources/curriculum-connections/portfolios/outdoor-learning/ Hope this helps! - Emma U3175218 (discuss • contribs) 00:22, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
