Green Schoolyards as Outdoor Learning Environments: Barriers and Solutions as Experienced by Primary School Teachers

Resumen del artículo
Teachers identified four main barriers to outdoor learning: lack of formal status in curriculum, low confidence in outdoor teaching skills, difficulty getting started, and physical constraints (maintenance and weather). Solutions included inspiration moments, hands-on experience, and creating a supportive communal structure.
