Talking about teaching and learning outside the classroom can be a miracle for the education and well-being of children.
Research has shown that healthier, happier children perform better, and education is an important determinant of future well-being.
The external environment promotes skills such as problem solving and risk negotiation that are important to child development.
But what we see is that the opportunities for children to access the natural environment are decreasing.
Children spend little time outside due to safety, traffic, crime and parental concerns.
The modern environment has reduced the number of green environments, while technology has filled the inactive space of children. With this and other things in mind; The school is said to have the potential and responsibility to provide children with access to the natural environment.
However, this is not to increase rest and health and physical education.
Many subjects, such as math, art, and science, can be done outside of the classroom.
Teachers can give innovative use to different places and spaces in institutions outside the classroom that stimulate students to enjoy, create, innovate and learn.
When learning takes place in a natural space, students feel free when they are outside, they feel more capable of expressing themselves, and they can advance further.
They feel more engaged and more positive about the learning experience.
Many feel better and their memories are better.
If we want our children to have an opportunity where "you don't feel like they're really forcing you to learn and you're just on the same adventure" and the teachers "become what they really like and not like robots." It is important to change the way we think about education in schools.
Teaching does not have to follow a rigid classroom format, small changes such as teaching outside the classroom can provide enormous benefits.
