Description

Introduction Research indicates that the provision of learning experiences in the natural environment is an effective strategy for promoting student environmental learning, which includes the development of environmental knowledge, attitudes and the adoption of responsible action (Ballantyne & Packer, 2002; 2009; Ballantyne, Fien, & Packer 2001; Dettmann Easler & Pease 1999; Rickinson 2001; Rickinson, Lundholm & Hopwood 2009). School fieldwork visits to places such as environmental education centres provide important opportunities, outside the classroom, for students to manage and direct their own learning (Griffin & Symington, 1997; Hisasaka, Anderson, Nashon, & Yagi, 2005). A growing literature base on learning in non-school contexts clearly demonstrates the value of these settings in developing cross-contextual, holistic learning (Anderson & Nashon, 2007; Anderson, Lucas, Ginns, & Dierking, 2000; Ramey-Gassert, Walberg & Walberg, 1994; Rennie & McClafferty, 1996).
