| Abstract: | Several health experts have strongly recommended spending time outdoors for physical and mental well-being. As students progress through the schooling system, they spend less time outdoors. There is an insufficient amount of research on how outdoor learning can benefit students at the university level. There is a consistent stream of research looking at methods of learning and how to create better environments for learning. However, studies on outdoor learning have been few. Outdoor learning, in general, and at the university level, in particular, has numerous advantages for learners when conditions are taken into consideration. In this review, 20 studies were selected. They discuss ways in which outdoor learning in universities can benefit both students and teachers alike. The review concludes that outdoor learning can have various advantages if properly taught. |
