Books Part of series: The BERA Guides: Critical Insights into Educational Research and Practice
Place-Responsive Pedagogy in Educational Research and Practice
The BERA Guide to Outdoor Learning: Place-responsive Pedagogy in Educational Research and Practice reignites an educational focus on the role of place in outdoor learning. The book offers a timely and relevant response to contemporary societal, environmental, and educational issues, alongside an increasing demand to renew children and young people’s relationships with the world around them. Anchored in the core principles of place-responsive
pedagogy, this book offers educators a breath of fresh air amidst increased curriculum demands and performance metrics in a post-pandemic neoliberal landscape. Insights emerge from a rich convergence of theory, practical application, and lived experience. Authors make a compelling case for outdoor learning as a means of fostering world-resonance, resilience, creativity, and a sense of belonging, as well as highlighting inclusive pathways for place-responsive education.
Published in partnership between the British Educational Research Association (BERA) and Emerald Publishing, The BERA Guides are short, research-informed yet accessible introductions to key, interdisciplinary topics impacting education research and practice for a broad academic audience.
