Asfeldt, Morten; Beames, Simon – Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, 2012
Most educators have spent many days and thousands of dollars attending academic conferences around the world, only to find themselves sitting in ballrooms, listening to speakers and watching PowerPoint presentations. In most cases, this conference format represents a profound pedagogical contradiction for outdoor and experiential educators. This…

Maher, Pat – Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, 2012
When the author thinks back to all the wilderness educational expeditions he has led, one thing sticks out in his mind: While he knows these were amazing experiences for the students (primarily university undergraduates), could he have done more to help them transition into the experience and out again afterwards? The author has continued to…

Gill, Tim – Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, 2012
When people say that children grow up faster today, they are confusing appearance with reality. Children may be avid consumers of adult culture. They may adopt adult mannerisms and styles. They certainly get to grips with new technology far more easily than grown-ups. But when it comes to everyday freedoms--like walking to school alone, or meeting…

Dettweiler, Ulrich – Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, 2012
Recent empirical research on outdoor education programs describes adjustment symptoms that instructors suffer from after the programs have come to an end. Post-course effects are also documented for students, but those are normally scientifically coded in measured changes in "skills" or "learning effects." In this paper, the…

Beames, Simon – Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, 2012
Facilitated discussion before, during and after experiences is widely accepted practice in the field of outdoor adventure education.

Millette, Margot; Porter, Tom – Pathways: The Ontario Journal of Outdoor Education, 2001
A study found that male and female co-leaders of wilderness camping trips were very aware of stereotypes of male and female leadership roles.

The D-R model of…

A study examined the dynamics of female-female and male-female instructor pairings in challenge-course instructor training workshops.
