A research of Pre-School teachers looks at nature (English)
Abstract [en]
The purpose of the research is to find out how the teacher of the pre-school looks at the value of the nature Pre-school. To get an understanding of what the nature pre-school enviorment can bring, we are talking about learning, knowledge, and experience combined with the everyday lessons learned from the natural world. The research is a stepping stone on the pre-school teacher’s thoughts and reflections of what a nature pre-school is. This is grounded in a view of how having options for alternative schools lead to wider research, and all conclusions where formed after multiple interviews and analysis.
The results showed that the teachers involved are very positive to the nature pre-school environment and learning process. They see many opportunities for the children’s growth from this learning experience. Nature is the classroom for teaching and learning and creates opportunities for the children to use all the senses, and find out how things work and connect with each other. In the interaction between the children and the teacher they are able to take advantage in developing gross and fine motor skills, with the understanding and the connection between the animal and growth in the nature. All this information they take in from this experience is a valuble tool to be used all through out there life’s.
