Abstract

Charlotte Mason's views on outdoor education and history are considered and related to constructivist theories and the English National Curriculum. Images of two case studies of primary school children learning history in the outdoors and their subsequent talk and writing are analysed through the lens of Mason's ideas. A third illustrated case- study describes a weekend course for teachers on teaching and learning history outdoors. Dr. Hilary Cooper is Emeritus Professor at Cumbria University. She taught in London Primary Schools and at Goldsmiths' College, was Director of Professional Studies in Education at Lancaster University and Professor of History and Pedagogy at the University of Cumbria. She has written many books and has an international reputation.
