Teaching and Learning Strategies for Motor Games and Play in Outdoor Environments: A Didactic Approach to Motor Learning
Abstract
Several studies have shown the value of outdoor environments for children's development in different ways: developing motor skills, more harmonious and imaginative play, improving quality of playing and perception of landscapes. This chapter will introduce how different outdoor environments affect children's play activities and motor development. Children interpret landscapes as functions to play and they operationalize the affordances as an awareness of the environments and their functional meaning into action. The methodological approach to outdoor motor play will be based on a Dynamic Systems Approach, the Theory of Affordances, and the Typology of Place. These approaches will introduce the outdoor environment as a context for learning, affording children different challenges to be explored through problem solving and experiential learning. Stimulating fundamental motor skills in early years will be the basic approach using theories that support these perspectives.
