Introduction: Delving into the Concept of Place of Learning
Public spaces, whether indoor or outdoor, such as museums, libraries, galleries, heritage sites, science centers, community venues, or social and cultural groups, invite learners to participate in formal, nonformal, and informal education activities. A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates the potential of learning outside the walls of the traditional classroom when real-world experiences become an extension of the classroom in a variety of contexts: landscapes, both built and natural; and social and cultural settings. Outdoor learning may be described as a set of activities that take place in several zones—school grounds and immediate and local neighborhoods that can be reached on foot or by local transport—and include related activities such as excursions and daytrips using transportation and overnight stays that require both transportation and accommodation (Beames et al., 2012).
It is generally accepted that out-of-class experiences contribute to the physical, moral, cultural, and cognitive development of students and promote their interpersonal and social skills, attitudes, and personal growth (Grigg & Lewis, 2016). Learning outside of the classroom can contribute to addressing challenges including children’s physical inactivity; boredom and disengagement; lack of creativity; lack of general knowledge about nature, heritage, and community; mental health issues; underachievement of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds; and poor standards in literacy and numeracy (ibid.). Learning in out-of-class environments facilitates literacy and numeracy skills and assists in teaching and learning in the humanities, arts, science, computer science, and physical education.
