[course] – Autumn 2012: Nature-based Learning and Development

Written by

Pipeline Project Seminar and Service Learning

EDUC 401N: Nature-based Learning and Development

SLN: 13264

Facilitator: Samantha Dolan (samanb2@uw.edu) and PoE alum!

Dates: Thursdays
Time: 2:30-3:50 pm 
Location: CHL 105

Many of us make a point of spending time in the natural world daily, whether we are gardening, riding a bike, walking the long way to class, or taking a lunch break in the park. Children are spending less time in natural settings and more time indoors, which may have profound impact on their well being.  In this seminar, we will discuss research and theories surrounding nature based learning and development, and explore how nature can be used to enhance the school experience for K-12 students and teachers. Rather than teaching children about the natural world, we will look at how natural settings and elements teach children motor skills, science, and more while promoting positive social skills, vision, and other positive health outcomes. Students will gain first-hand experience by volunteering in a nature-based program in the community.
