Muséaliser l’archéologie : quelques interventions innovantes pour la présentation des ruines / Musealizzare l’archeologia: alcuni interventi innovati…
2014
Intervention on archaeological sites requires a multicriteria approach, which does not lend itself to providing solutions of a general nature so much as solutions linked to the individual case at hand and to the comparison of the interventions involved in the creation of a museum-like context for them. Nevertheless, one should not lose sight of the general aspect of the problem and underestimate a series of considerations regarding what to conserve and why in favour of how to conserve, an aspect which has been extensively tested and which today offers a large range of appropriate solutions and techniques. It is a question of communication, solutions to which must be provided both through to…

2021
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 25 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 13 attēlus, 5 tabulas un 16 literatūras atsauces. Darba mērķis ir novērtēt āra aktivitāšu ietekmi uz miopijas attīstības kavēšanu. Dati tika iegūti ar jautājumu anketu palīdzību. Rezultāti rāda, ka āra aktivitātes šajā pētījumā nav nozīmīgs faktors, kurš kavē miopijas veidošanos (p<0.05). Nozīmīgs miopijas veidošanās faktors ir iedzimtība.
The recreational value of botanic garden events: A case study of the Zagara plant fair in Palermo, Italy
2022
Botanic gardens are defined by their mission to maintain living plant collections for scientific research, conservation, display and education. This mission represents the potential ecosystem services that botanic gardens aim to produce, with display and education specifically regarding recreational ecosystem services (RES). Visitors must directly experience botanic gardens to transform these potential RES into real benefits, yet the public may not be interested in studying plants during their leisure time. Thus, botanic gardens turn to events to attract visitors. The objective of this study is to estimate the RES benefits created by a botanic garden event and profile the visitors that it b…
Scuola inclusiva e Outdoor Education. Un’indagine esplorativa nel primo ciclo di istruzione
2022
Le tematiche dell’inclusione e dello sviluppo sostenibile rappresentano oggi, senza dubbio, uno dei terreni di dibattito fondamentali per una riflessione pedagogica, mossa verso la promozione di forme autentiche di convivenza democratica e di cittadinanza globale nell’ottica della costruzione di un’identità plurale e di un armonioso sviluppo umano. L’educazione inclusiva assume allora i connotati di un’educazione democratica i cui valori fondamentali dell’ambiente e dei contesti, della comunità e della partecipazione sono rivolti a tutti. Ma, se da un lato la letteratura nazionale ed internazionale ha fornito cospicue evidenze scientifiche a sostegno di come la relazione diretta con la natu…
Learning opportunities in the outdoor school–empirical findings on outdoor school in Germany from the children’s perspective

Travelling with Darwin and Humboldt. A Transdisciplinary Educational Experience
2019
Aim. This research aims to confirm that transdisciplinary projects can be very adequate to develop content and competencies traditionally assigned to Sciences and Arts in higher education, exploring the possibilities of outdoor education.
 Methods. The subjects of the study were one hundred alumni of two different courses “Natural Sciences for Teachers” and “Literary Training for Teachers” at a Spanish university. An educational experience around the phenomenon of scientific travelers was developed, focusing on Charles Darwin and Alexander von Humboldt and the literary genres of travel journals and letters. The main activity contained three phases, including indoor and outdoor educatio…
School Teaching in Germany Between Tradition and Innovation: The Concept of the Outdoor School
2019
It is a well known fact that school is seen as having a spatial characteristic, being associated to indoor learning. The aim of this chapter is to underlined the idea that learning and educational processes can take place in different settings, and to offer other experiences that the traditional classroom with its specific conditions largely neglected. The dimensions of space, time, and body are re-evaluated from the perspective of outdoor education which faces children (and teachers) with new, sometimes challenging, and adventurous experiences that contrast with an everyday routine of school instruction.
The ‘outdoor school’ as a school improvement process: empirical results from the perspective of teachers in Germany
2017
ABSTRACTThis paper focuses on school improvement processes in the context of weekly curricular-based teaching and learning activities outside the classroom – known as Drausenschule or ‘outdoor school’ – in three German primary schools. Qualitative interviews were conducted with three teachers two years after implementing the ‘outdoor school’. The teachers’ experiences show that the implementation and (ongoing) development of an outdoor school affects (1) teaching as such; (2) the school staff, and (3) the entire school as an organisation. The three areas are interlinked in different ways and the school improvement process cannot be approached from the perspective of any one area alone.
Det er tungt å bære sekken, men det er tyngre å bære på unyttige tanker : En kvalitativ studie om på hvilken måte friluftsliv og opphold i naturen ka…

Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Introduction: As a result of the growth in mental illnesses and the industrial society, there is an increased need for a place where humans can reconnect and find peace. Science shows that almost one out of four grown up Norwegians has a mental disorder, and that physical activity, especially by spending time in nature, can contribute to the recovery. To accommodate these challenges, I believe that science can offer a better understanding on how we can facilitate for health promotion accompanied with nature. Objective and key question: The purpose of this study is to get a better and holistic understanding on how the natur…
