Learning outside the study hall is educational plan-based instructing and learning exercises that go past the dividers of the homeroom. It incorporates any educational program-based movement that happens outside the school running from a gallery or field visit, to a games trip, or open-air instruction camp. It is based on the curriculum, and also on the imagination of teachers, who have to properly and wisely combine the curricular contents, methods and resources in order the get the most efficient results. These results are not just based on school grades, but also regarding transversal competencies and emotional intelligence.
In the present article, we would like to present a set of outdoor teaching and learning practical models, based on the core procurement cycle curriculum in Romania, in order to help primary school teachers in organizing similar activities for their classes, based on different school subjects. We would also like to present a main model of planning outdoor learning activities and its outcomes.
