20.500.12556/RUL-187273 Emerging themes of empirical research into outdoor science teaching a systematic literature review This systematic literature review evaluates empirical research articles published after 2017 on emerging themes into outdoor science teaching, with a specific focus on in-service science teachers. Guided by two main research questions, we investigated the following: (1) What are the emerging themes into outdoor science teaching from the view of in-service teachers? (2) What are the directions for the further development of outdoor science education? Sixteen of the 609 potential articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases met our selection criteria. Most of them are qualitative and span different regions of the world. Six interrelated themes reflecting the focus of the studies were identified: teaching practice, knowledge and skills, acknowledging benefits, acknowledging challenges, teacher awareness, and support. Future directions for outdoor science education were categorized into the following sections: implications for further research, outdoor practice, and curriculum recommendations. We conclude that a collaborative approach and commitment from teachers, school leaders, researchers, and policy makers is critical to further develop outdoor science education. in-service science teachers outdoor education teacher awareness teaching practice bodoči učitelji ozaveščenost učiteljev pedagoška praksa vzgoja in izobraževanje pouk na prostem true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-09-09 16:38:32 2026-09-09 16:38:33 2026-09-10 04:31:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 741-763 iss. 2 Vol. 29 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 373.32.016:50 2522-879X 10.1007/s42322-025-00215-6 246015491 s42322-025-00215-6.pdf s42322-025-00215-6.pdf 1 71EB025B53190930FD408EECFCD15D4E dad5f6d4139130c519c30b480ebce3f3cf5a98bec99cba3e45d307fd45c89689 022d8181-ac5d-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=246823 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42322-025-00215-6 1 1d9268a3-ac5c-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=246822 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
