RISK MANAGEMENT IN OUTDOOR LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Summary/Abstract: Outdoor education is a new type of education, and it is also used as a learning method. In this article, we would like to present, mainly the results of a brief research on the risks that are involved in outdoor education activities. Also we would like to show the opinions of teachers regarding this topic, and the main reasons they don’t integrate outdoor learning in the daily activities of their classes. These results are the outcome of a research that was made in Arad County that involved a number of 120 teachers, from primary and preschool educational field, and some of them belonging to other educational areas, such as sociology, psychology and even different middle school subjects. The main instrument used was the questionnaire. Conclusions show a great interest of primary and preschool teachers regarding this topic and they show openness to find out more about how to offer quality education, even through outdoor learning activities.
