Abstract: This project was designed to improve our understanding of the role and impact of nature-based environmental learning experiences, identify factors that facilitate learning for sustainability, and develop empirically-based principles to support Outdoor and Environmental Education Centres (O&EECs) in providing effective education for sustainability. The project builds on previous research which identified productive pedagogies (effective teaching strategies) in classroom contexts, and extends these to incorporate additional pedagogies that are effective in supporting learning in natural environments...
