Primary and lower secondary school students have learned Outdoor Education in school events, but in the new Course of Study, outdoor education can be taught together at the same time in the “time of general education”. The new Course of Study describes the importance of outdoor experience. In the background, we researched about consciousness of learning through natural and social experience in the primary and lower secondary schools. The results are as follows:
Learning through natural experience provides more learning experiences than lower secondary school. Asense of difficulty about learning through natural experience is from factor of age in primary school, but in lower secondary school, sense of difficulty is from factor of guidance.
The result of the study shows that teachers who are younger have more capacity to perform the natural experience. The older teachers, on the other hand, have more leadership qualities for social experience and coodinator ship. The teachers then should learn to improve themselves in terms of skills described in the study regardless of their age and number of years in teaching.
