Utomhusmiljöer för barn och ungdom

Kursen har focus på utomhusmiljöns roll i barn och ungas vardagsliv. Kursen introducerar perspektiv, begrepp och metoder som tillämpas i den tvärvetenskapliga studien av barn och ungas interaktion i och med utomhusmiljöer. Du får lära dig strategier för att undersöka deras relation till platser och hur de använder olika utemiljöer för att möta sina skiftande behov från barndom till adolescens. Det här är kunskap som kan användas för att förbättra kvaliteten på utomhusmiljöer till förmån för deras lek, lärande, sociala liv och välbefinnande. Vi kommer också att undersöka hur vi kan tillgodose deras behov i praktiken (planering, design och förvaltning).

Kursen bygger till stor del på självständigt arbete, med visst inslag av grupparbete, i kombination med online undervisning (via Zoom). Modulerna innehåller föreläsningar, litteraturseminarier och tre inlämningsuppgifter inklusive fältarbete och presentationer.

Information från kursledaren

The role of outdoor environments in children and youth's everyday lives is the focus of this course. The course introduces perspectives, concepts and methods applied in the interdisciplinary study of children and youth's interactions in and with outdoor spaces. You will learn about strategies to investigate their relationship with place and scrutinize how they use different outdoor environments to meet their needs. This is knowledge that can be used to improve the quality of outdoor settings to benefit their play, learning, social life and well-being. We will also investigate how we can meet their needs in practice (planning, design and management) and the role of children and youth's participation in this process. In focus for assignments are the particular qualities children and youth seek in outdoor spaces, the testing of methods to study children's and youth's use of outdoor spaces, and a closer look at a specific problem children/youth face where you live with regards their use of and access to outdoor enviroments.

The course starts in autumn 2022 and is offered online via digital resources (Zoom and Canvas). Note that most of the online lessons will be compulsory. In addition to the online sessions there can be occasions offered to meet up on campus as well as a study visit during the first module.
