Abstract

This paper addresses issues relating to the development of outdoor education school curriculum content and interpretation of the curriculum by teachers. It focuses on the Victorian outdoor education curriculum in order to highlight issues and a potential direction which may be relevant to the development of outdoor education in schools in other states of Australia and overseas. The development of years prep to 10 (P-10) curriculum is discussed separately from the development of senior secondary (VCE) outdoor education because these curriculum documents were developed in different contexts and chronological stages. The intent is to instigate discussion about the nature and purpose of outdoor education curriculum in schools and its implications for the development of the broader outdoor education profession.
