Descriptive Study: on school and education systems in European countries

This book describes the parallels and differences between experiential education, 'Friluftsliv', and the Austrian and Norwegian school systems. These are drawn from literature reviews, examples and insights from the logbook of a semester spent studying abroad in Norway. It also demonstrates the importance of action-oriented learning in relation to one's own personality and the outcomes that can be achieved through it. Furthermore, there are new teaching methods that have a positive impact on children's development. The background information gathered is divided into four chapters. The first chapter describes the introduction, the methodological approach and the structure of this book. The second chapter outlines the fundamentals of experiential education, definitions of key terms, the historical background and its areas of application. The third chapter covers the fundamentals, definitions, historical background and areas of application of 'Friluftsliv'. The final section comprises the research component, the logbook.
