Outdoor learning in relation to environmental education in kindergarten.
ŠŤASTNÁ, Michaela
The methodology of the thesis was to use a quantitative method using a questionnaire to find out the view of a parent of a preschool child on the importance of being in nature in the context of environmental education. In particular, how much free time the preschool child spends in nature and in what manner this time is used. The theoretical section includes chapters focused on 'Environmental Education', 'The Benefits of Being in the Outdoors for the Development of the Preschool Child's Environmental Sense' and 'The Family and its Importance for Environmental Education.' The results of the research investigation showed that for parents of a preschool child, being out-doors is important not only in terms of strengthening physical health and mental resilience, but also in terms of strengthening the child's overall personality. Within the time constraints between work and kid's activities, the parent's aims were to ensure that the child was in a natural environment for at least 27 minutes a day. Due to the kindergarten's outdoor education being outside, the parents fed back that the teacher's intervention with the children was more positively impactful. Using a different natural environment beyond that of the kindergarten garden would also be preferred to increase the scope of outdoor educational activities.
