Project Grow: A Plan To Grow An Edible Garden In A Poverty-Affected School To Improve Parent Involvement And Increase Student Knowledge Of Nutrition, Wendy Michelle Wickersham Jan 2006

Project Grow: A Plan To Grow An Edible Garden In A Poverty-Affected School To Improve Parent Involvement And Increase Student Knowledge Of Nutrition, Wendy Michelle Wickersham

All Graduate Projects

Growing an edible garden in a poverty-affected school serves multiple purposes. It provides a way to increase parent involvement at the school while increasing student knowledge of nutrition. This comprehensive plan prepares a school to implement a school garden run solely by teacher, students, parents, and community volunteers. The potential results are that parents will get involved at their child's school while the students can learn about nutrition along with their families.

Contemplating Outdoor Adventure Education Research In Singapore, Michael Gassner Sep 2005

Contemplating Outdoor Adventure Education Research In Singapore, Michael Gassner

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

For a long time the field of outdoor adventure education has been investigating the effects of its programs in various domains. A large number of studies have been done in countries that are considered the Western world (i.e. Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe). Most of the studies, with the exception of a few, however, have investigated the effects of programs during or shortly after a course has finished. There have also been a few recent studies looking into what makes programs work to achieve certain outcomes. There have been very few studies in …

An Interview With Richard Louv, Michael F. Shaughnessy Sep 2005

An Interview With Richard Louv, Michael F. Shaughnessy

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Richard Louv has written a beautifully provocative book entitled Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. Richard Louv believes that nature is an integral part of growing up, and that children need to be exposed to nature, the wilderness, trees, grass, the sky, and the beauty of the earth, forests, mountains, lakes, rivers and streams. In this interview, he discusses his book and his concerns.

Review Of Last Child In The Woods, Charles Yaple Sep 2005

Review Of Last Child In The Woods, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Louv defines nature-deficit disorder (NDD) as “an alienation from nature” that results in “diminished uses of the senses, attention difficulties, and higher rates of physical and emotional illnesses.” In Last Child in the Woods, he demonstrates how it can be observed in individuals, families, and communities. He cites numerous studies that show “a relationship between the absence, or inaccessibility, of parks and open spaces with high crime rates, depression” and other maladies.

Thoreau’S Legacy Revisited, Charles Yaple Sep 2005

Thoreau’S Legacy Revisited, Charles Yaple

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

It appears we humans are slow to learn some lessons. Recent, and greatly deserved, attention given to Richard Louv’s new book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature- Deficit Disorder (see book review, p. 19) prompts one to recall prophetic words penned by Henry David Thoreau more than 140 years ago. He had much to say concerning what happens when a culture divorces itself from nature. The summer, 1995 issue of Taproot featured an article, Thoreau’s Legacy, that examined the 19th century philosopher’s thoughts regarding healthy human relationship with the natural world. That article is presented here …

Review Of Children And Nature, Josh Bochniak Sep 2005

Review Of Children And Nature, Josh Bochniak

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

There is no lack of resources, activities, books, or articles about children and nature. In fact, the amount of information available is overwhelming, Advocates for the importance of nature to children continue to declare the emotional, physical, intellectual, and moral developmental benefits of nature for children, but as Kahn and Kellert propose, “our scientific knowledge of the impact and significance of nature during varying stages of childhood is remarkably sparse.” In that statement lies the major thrust of this edition, Children and Nature. In twelve chapters by a variety of authors from a number of different fields of study, Kahn …

Review Of Noah’S Children, Josh Bochniak

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

Sara Stein, in a narrative that elicits emotions as divergent as anger and laughter, approaches the broad idea of what is missing in today’s childhood, and what she perceives is needed for its restoration. Approaching topics such as evolutionary and cultural heritage, natural interaction, and developmental struggles, she places many contemporary social norms in sharp contrast against their historical predecessors.

Practitioner's Corner: How To Be Alone, Joshua Bochniak Sep 2005

Practitioner's Corner: How To Be Alone, Joshua Bochniak

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

The idea of solitude is no stranger to outdoor enthusiasts. Its virtues have been heralded for millennia. Clerics, monks, priests, and laity from numerous religions and cultural traditions have found value in solitude since the beginnings of recorded history. Modern Transcendentalists, most notably Thoreau and Emerson, praised solitude as a means to escape the swelling tide of civilization. Granted, most conscientious proponents of solitude also warn of its excess, but overwhelmingly, the idea of solitude is historically one that pulls at the inner yearnings of the human heart. How is it then that an afternoon’s observation on a university campus …

Keepers Of The Earth, Jeannette Armstrong May 2005

Keepers Of The Earth, Jeannette Armstrong

Taproot: A Journal of Outdoor Education

I have always felt that my Okanagan view is perhaps closer in experience to that of an eyewitness and refugee surrounded by holocaust. I draw on this experience of witness to frame my own comments on a social crisis that has been interpreted in various fields of study as critical. As a Native American, I have felt that crisis as a personal struggle against an utterly pervasive phenomenon. My conflict has been to unremittingly resist its entrapment, while knowing that it affects every breath I draw. Through the lens of that perspective, I view the disorder that is displayed in …
