Your School’s enriching Learning Outside the Classroom experience starts here!
Time to get the children active and explore some of the following learning outcomes; Team Work, Communication, Problem Solving, Self Confidence, Motivation, Learning Skills
Adventure education usually involves collaborative learning experiences with a high level of physical (and often emotional) challenge. Practical problem-solving, explicit reflection and discussion of thinking and emotion may also be involved.
How effective is it?
Overall, studies of adventure learning interventions consistently show positive benefits on academic learning. On average, pupils who participate in adventure learning interventions make approximately four additional months’ progress. There is also evidence of an impact on non-cognitive outcomes such as self-confidence.
The evidence suggests that the impact is greater for more vulnerable students and older learners (teenagers) and those in a ‘wilderness’ setting, though other types of intervention still show some positive impacts.
