ENHANCING EDUCATION THROUGH OUTDOOR LEARNING ACTIVITIES
Learning does not stop in the classroom alone. Learning is everywhere, it could be indoors and outdoors. For some, outdoor learning is preferable because they believe it helps sharpen their brain and their reflection on things.
Individuals learn and understand differently. Mental picture of inanimate substances one uses plays a vital role in enhancing easy understanding. What one uses a tree to attribute can stick effectively because anytime he sees a tree,his mind runs back to what it symbolizes.
Outdoor learning involves the use of natural and inanimate things to meet students' curriculum. This could be done through excursions, camping trips, visiting a park, hiking, outdoor gaming, sitting out among students and teachers for academic objectives. Learning through this means helps improve academic performance.
Outdoor education is mostly organized by schools, parents, nature centers among others. It is something that is to be taken seriously by parents because it helps in the educational improvement of children and adults.
