ASE outdoor science report
ASE launches its outdoor science report
Not long after its annual conference, the Association for Science Education (ASE) launched its 'Outdoor Science' report, making six recommendations to reverse the long-term decline in outdoor education in science.
The ASE's Outdoor Science Working Group released the report, which is the product of discussion with over 100 participants over a series of seminars held in 2010. The recommendations they make include establishing a programme of teacher training in fieldwork, creation of a dedicated outdoor science website to share resources and local contacts, and a call to leading education bodies, learned societies and supporters of outdoor education to use their influence to raise the profile of fieldwork.
