Testing The Adventure Recreation Model: A Replication With Subjects Involved In A Required Outdoor Experience, Lynn Anderson, Dale Anderson, Anderson Young
Testing The Adventure Recreation Model: A Replication With Subjects Involved In A Required Outdoor Experience, Lynn Anderson, Dale Anderson, Anderson Young
Research in Outdoor Education
The Adventure Recreation Model, first proposed and tested by Ewert and Hollenhorst (1989), attempts to describe participant. characteristics and patterns of use in adventure recreation activities. The model was originally tested with students at Ohio State University who were involved in an outdoor pursuits program consisting of a wide variety of outdoor adventure activities. This study replicated and extended this research by using subjects who participated in a required outdoor course with an outdoor adventure component. The purpose of the study was to test the fit of the adventure model with subjects who were expected to be more diverse in …

The Effects Of A Public School System's One Day Adventure Experience, Harlan Eagle, Janelle Gordon, Lindy Lewis
Research in Outdoor Education
This paper reports on a study that investigated the effects of a public school system's one-day adventure experience on students' self reports of life effectiveness. According to Neill, Marsh & Richards (1997), life effectiveness is defined as, "the psychological and behavioral aspects of human functioning which determine a person's effectiveness or proficiency in any given situation".
Cultural History Interpretation In Adventure Education: Promoting "Landfull" Experiences, Molly A. Baker
Cultural History Interpretation In Adventure Education: Promoting "Landfull" Experiences, Molly A. Baker
Research in Outdoor Education
This study was designed to investigate interpretation as a potential method of promoting "landfull" experiences. To date, no studies have explored the application of cultural history interpretation in adventure-based programming. This study investigated the use of interpretive activities that focus on the cultural history of the area during an adventure-based trip and evaluated the impact of this interpretation on participants' experiences. As an exploratory effort, the purpose of this study was threefold: To provide a rationale for the use of cultural history interpretation in adventure-based programming; to create a prototype for integrating cultural history interpretation in adventure programming; and to …

Front Matter, Coalition For Education In The Outdoors (Ceo)
Research in Outdoor Education
The Coalition for Education in the Outdoors initiated a Research Task Force in 1990 with the purpose of supporting the conduct of research in the field and the dissemination of the results. The symposium at Bradford Woods and these Proceedings offer evidence of the success of this task force. At the first symposium in 1992, there was general agreement that the symposium be a regular occurrence. The 2000 Symposim and these Proceedings are indicators of the Coalition's continued support of research in outdoor education. Information on future events will be available through the Coalition office.

Trends And Issues In Not For Profit Camping, Deborah Bialeschki, Karla Henderson, Kate Dahowski
Research in Outdoor Education
The purpose of this study was to examine influences on not for profit agencies involved in camping programs to determine critical trends and issues related to organized camping. The American Camping Association (ACA) Not for Profit Forum and Council funded this study. The project consisted of three data collection phases: 1) an extensive literature review; 2) a survey sent to a random sample of camp directors and their not for profit agency executives; and 3) focus groups conducted at a national ACA conference. This descriptive research study uses information from the second phase of this project to present quantitative data …
Leadership Development And Youth Camping: Determining A Relationship, Rachelle H. Toupence, Christine D. Townsend
Leadership Development And Youth Camping: Determining A Relationship, Rachelle H. Toupence, Christine D. Townsend
Research in Outdoor Education
The terminology may have changed, but the concepts of "leaders" and "leadership" have been a part of human thought for thousands of years. Similarly, so has leadership education. Leadership is one of the core skills employers expect of their employees at every level (Scheneman, 1991) and leadership development has emerged as a goal of outdoor education (Friese, Hendee, & Kinziger, 1998). Debate continues concerning the most effective methods for developing leadership as in recent years leadership education has been brought to the forefront. This is borne out in leisure literature as well, where in the last decade scholars have begun …
Outdoor Adventure And Health: Supporting Empirical Data, Camille J. Bunting
Outdoor Adventure And Health: Supporting Empirical Data, Camille J. Bunting
Research in Outdoor Education
The intent of this paper is to introduce a theoretical framework for considering connections between outdoor adventure and health, not to present the findings of one or two new research studies. A compilation of empirical data will be presented from various studies to illustrate the proposed connections, and provide documentation for subjective observations and beliefs long held by outdoor adventure educators. Therefore, the format that follows is not one of a typical research report, but of a position paper with supporting empirical data from the author's own research.
Benefits And Components Of An Inclusive Adventure Program For Families With Children Who Have A Disability, Kathleen Scholl, Leo Mcavoy, John Smith
Benefits And Components Of An Inclusive Adventure Program For Families With Children Who Have A Disability, Kathleen Scholl, Leo Mcavoy, John Smith
Research in Outdoor Education
Due to the national movement in the 1970s to de-institutionalize individuals with disabilities, the vast majority of these children live with their families in community settings; however, the recreation opportunities for these families to participate together in community sponsored programs may be limited. There are many programs for children with disabilities, but few are designed for the entire family when one or more children have a disability. Shifting the focus from the individual with the disability to the entire family can support and enrich the intrinsic strengths that already exist in the family (Clapp & Rudolph, 1993; Dunst, Trivette, Starnes, …

The Effects Of Environmental And Adventure Education Programs On The Wilderness Attitudes Of Japanese Early Adolescents, Taito Okamura
Research in Outdoor Education
The conceptual framework for this study is that outdoor education represents the integration of environmental education and adventure education (Bisson, 1998; Bunting, 1990; Donna, 1996; Priest, 1986). The purpose of the study was first to compare the effects of environmental and adventure education programs in a resident camp setting on the wilderness attitudes of Japanese early adolescents.
The Impact Of Camp Programs On Children With Disabilities: Opportunities For Independence, Ann Fullerton, Steve Brandon, Joel Arick
The Impact Of Camp Programs On Children With Disabilities: Opportunities For Independence, Ann Fullerton, Steve Brandon, Joel Arick
Research in Outdoor Education
The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of specialized, residential camp programs on children and youth with disabilities. In general, the question is: "Does the camp experience result in positive or negative impacts on development, and do these changes transfer to home or school?" Camps are rich in social (both Vgotsky's and Bandura's conceptualizations; Gredler, 1992) and experiential (Kolb, 1984) learning. In camps, learning occurs while doing tasks within the functional, meaningful contexts of daily and social life in the camp community. Moreover, the naturally occurring consequences of one's actions are immediate and salient. The extensive literature …
