Importance of Outdoor Recreation in Education

Importance of Outdoor Recreation in Education This essay is designed to have you explore the research around the goals and purposes of different approaches to outdoor learning. There is a significant body of learning theory that informs how people interpret and understand natural environments and it is essential that you familiarise yourself with this work. Some of the key approaches you should consider in your work include: adventure education, outdoor recreation, outdoor education, outdoor environmental education, environmental education, outdoor environmental studies, adventure therapy, and bush adventure therapy. My name is Steele Millroy and I am currently studying a Bachelor in Secondary Education at the University of the Sunshine Coast, majoring in Health and Physical Education (HPE), or as it may also be known, outdoor studies. HPE is an umbrella term for many varieties of outdoor educational teaching practices. These include outdoor recreation, outdoor education, adventure therapy and outdoor environmental education. The two that I would like to focus on for this essay are outdoor recreation and outdoor education. I believe these two have the biggest impact on my career area, while still being effective even within the limitations the classroom provides. Today, when we hear outdoor recreation, it is often associated with the term leisure or leisure activities (Martin, Cashell, Wagstaff, Breunig, 2006). Outdoor recreation is defined to be an active side of leisure that transpires in a natural setting such as a mountain, lake or field (Martin et al, 2006). Being actively immersed in these outdoor locations can have a profound effect on the way people view their environment. It can change a persons perspective of the way we use, understand and appreciate the natural environment (Martin et al, 2006). As a person begins to use their environment for recreation, it starts off as just another piece of equipment for them to use, but as they return to the same spots repeatedly, it can become like an old friend. A person will notice more and more detail about the environment as it will become more familiar to them. They develop a deeper appreciation for landscape and everything it has to offer. Outdoor Recreation now has become increasingly po pular since the 1950s due to the prosperity of western countries and their increase in leisure time (Martin et al, 2006). This also lead to areas that previously had been relatively unknown becoming popular activity spots and in doing so has had a detrimental effect in some natural areas (Martin et al, 2006). In America, this concern led to the first significant study done by the Outdoor Recreation Resource Review Commission (ORRRC), which was to assess the state of outdoor recreation in America and make suggestions on its future development (Martin et al, 2006). These suggestions by ORRRC have led to the Outdoor Recreation Act of 1963 and the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (Martin et al, 2006). These acts have helped reduce the impact humans have on natural recreation areas and help improve those areas for the future. Examples of the natural areas that we use for recreation are things like hiking trails, rivers or streams that we kayak on, mountains for climbing or ev en an open field for a game of football or cricket. In summation outdoor recreation is a great way for humans to become more involved in nature, but we must become educated in a way that ensures us we are not doing damage to the places we love. A way to keep humans educated with how our environment works and why we need it is through Outdoor Education. Outdoor Education is broadly defined as the philosophy of learning by doing (Priest Gass, 1997). The term Outdoor Education covers two main subjects of Environmental Education and Adventure Education (Martin et al, 2006). In Environmental Education the emphasis of learning is placed between people and their natural environment and natural resources (Priest Gass, 1997). Adventure Education focuses on interpersonal growth through the opportunities that adventure experiences can give to us (Martin et al, 2006). Adventure Education is often done with a group of people that will have to work together to complete a certain task. This provides them with a personal challenge while still have to use skills such as decision making, communication, cooperation and most of all they learn to trust each other (Priest Gass, 1997). The educator who is running the challenge structures it in such a way that the risk is perceived to be much higher than it truly is. This gives more opportunity for the participants to hit their peak adventure point while still being challenged to grow and change (Priest Gass, 1997). Examples of this type of education would be a rope course where your team must all pass together or a navigation exercise where your team is left some basic equipment and you are dropped off in an area you dont know. This navigation exercise can be very beneficial as it can seem like the risks are very high (when it is just your group and their survival skills), but in truth the guides who dropped you there would know the area extremely well and can remove you at any time if the situation calls for it. With this adventure education you must then become involved with environmental education for without knowing about the environment we could lose the nature and beauty that we all love about adventure education (Priest Gass, 1997). Environmental education can b e parted into two segments: ecosystemic relationships and ekistic relationships (Martin et al, 2006). Ecosystemic relationships refer to independent organisms living in the ecosystem, whereas ekistic relationships refer to the interactions between people and the environment, or how we treat our ecosystem, and in turn, how that will affect us (Martin et al, 2006). An example of this relationship would be humans polluting a river or lake, then in turn having no fresh water to drink. In this relationship, if we take care of that specific environment, it will in turn take care of us. Outdoor education is a very important tool for us to understand each other and our natural environment. Both outdoor recreation and outdoor education are important to me being a HPE teacher. Outdoor recreation is one of the big examples of being a HPE teacher. Since all schools will not have the same funding for their sporting programs, the ability to go outside and create a game or activity, that uses the natural landscapes around us, are vitally important. Doing this will show the students how to use the land respectfully and in turn can be woven into a lesson of Environmental Education. The benefits of using outdoor recreation as a learning tool are that it can be very cost effective, the games can be played by the students at home without much equipment and the students begin to appreciate the natural environment and getting immersed within it. Outdoor education can work well alongside outdoor recreation. I believe that they complement each other well. In recreation, they can make relationships to a place while in outdoor education they learn why that relationship is so important. During my career as a HPE teacher I will also be endeavouring to use Adventure Education. I believe that using Adventure Education in a class setting as it can strengthen the class as a whole and make different friendship circles communicate with each other. A challenge for me will be providing such a challenge in a school setting that seems high risk even when it isnt. A possible way around this would be a day trip somewhere if the school budget allows it. When we are not doing practical classes and are in the classroom, that is when I will begin to teach the students about ecosystemic and ekistic relationships. These are both important pieces to the outdoor education puzzle as they teach the students how we can impact one little organism and then how that can impact the ecosystem as a whole. In that past there has been some debate on whether all this should be taught in a HPE classroom, but I agree with L. B. Sharp (cited in Ewert Sibthorp, 2014) when he said those things which c an best be taught outdoors should there be taught (p. 6). These disciplines of outdoor recreation and outdoor education will be a great tool and asset to the modern HPE classroom. Getting the students involved in the outdoors and playing games is a great way to keep their attention while we teach them how to respect it. When students form their own relationships with a place, that is when they truly start to understand the importance of nature. Doing this through outdoor recreation and outdoor education is an effective and affordable way to achieve this goal. References Ewert, A. W., Sibthorp, J. (2014).

How does Edgar Allan Poe keep the reader in suspence Essay

in the very first sentence, Poe starts to build up the tension by saying ‘True – nervous – very, very dreadfully nervous’ this repetitiveness builds up the tension, the word ‘dreadfully’ gives the reader a clue that it is going to build up to something bad. He then gives us a clue that he is a bit of a mad man by saying ‘but why will you say that I am mad?’ this automatically makes the reader suggest he is mad, but we don’t know why yet. The story is being narrated by the murderer, and in the beginning, he really makes you empathise with him. You can really imagine this scary eye. He says ‘whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold’ so he is really scared of this eye and you can relate and feel sorry for him. Poe talks about time throughout the story. He mentions when time is going slow, when time is going fast, and also he changes the pace, switching between slow and fast. These elements add to building the suspense. The slow build up builds up tension, the slow, careful planning, and the longer sentences that drags it out as if the narrator is talking slowly and patiently. This gets the reader thinking and anticipating something is going to happen. Examples of when Poe uses time in a slow manor is when he says ‘I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him’ so this shows that him killing this man is a slow, well planned, patient build up. He says that he was kind to the man for a whole week, so this must have been planned for a while, so this whole process helps to build up suspense and get the reader anxious. Another example of Poe talking about time going slowly is when he says ‘it took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening’ this shows how slowly, careful and cautious he is being so he does not wake the man. This adds to the build up, taking a whole hour to open the door, which in a normal situation nobody could be this patient in taking this long to open a door. The next example of Poe mentioning time going slows is when he says ‘a watch’s minute hand moves more quickly than did mine’ again this shows how slowly time went, he compares a watches hand to his hand and says that even that was moving faster than what he was. So it is an example of this slow, patient build up that keeps the reader in suspense. As well as making references to time going slow, Poe also talks about time going fast, using shorter words and sentences, so the narrator is talking faster, so the pace changes to a much faster build up, so the reader anticipates something is about to happen. An example of this is when Poe says ‘I talked more quickly’ so as the pace and suspense building up gets faster, so does the speed that the character is talking. As the beat of the heart builds up louder and louder so does pace at which the character speaks get faster and faster. Another example of this is when Poe says ‘the noise steadily increased’ so the noise of the heart is increasing with the build up. The different paces represent the different parts of the story. The beginning of the story, slow creeping round, the planning and being cautious. The end of the story, fast, fear of being caught out, the sound of the heart. Poe uses repetition throughout the story. This is used for effect and empathise the point to the reader. An example of repetition is when he says ‘I undid the lantern cautiously-oh, so cautiously–cautiously’ in this sentence he empathises the word ‘cautiously’ he does this to get the point across to the reader of how cautiously he undid the lantern. Another example of when Poe uses repetitiveness is when he says ‘louder–louder–louder!’ this really empathises the heartbeat, and how loud it is and how it is building up, as he says louder each time the heartbeat gets louder. So he really does empathise the word louder in this sentence. The third example that I have chosen from the text that shows repetition is when Poe says ‘I moved it slowly–very, very slowly’ in this phrase Poe repeats the word ‘slow’. So this gives a better effect than if Poe had of just said ‘very slowly’. The r epetition makes it sound as if he had done it even slower. Throughout the story Poe uses noises to create atmosphere in the story. Sounds create an atmosphere as they have an effect on the reader, and noises can really set the scene in the story. Or in some cases I can add to the suspense and scare readers as they can relate to these noises that may have happened in their own home and scared them. An example of Poe using noise to create a tense atmosphere is when he says ‘hinges creaked’ this makes the read tense and keeps them in suspense as they are wondering what would be the old mans reaction if he heard this as he cannot see anybody so he is bound to be scared. Also when it says the hinge creeks, it gives you the impression that it is a creepy, old house, which adds to the atmosphere. The next example of sound being used to create atmosphere is when Poe says ‘it was the beating of the old man’s heart’ so this really helps the reader picture the scene, it gives them I more imaginative view of what’s happening. This noise really lets the reader know just really how scared the old man is, because they will know fro, their own experience that your heart races and becomes loud when you’re scared. Poe describes everything in great detail; this grips the reader and makes them feel involved in the story, rather like a film. Throughout the story, Poe uses words that would relate this story to and make it sound like a horror movie. Poe talks about ‘death’ throughout the story, ‘week before I kill him’, ‘death watches in the wall’, ‘because death, in approaching him’, ‘dead hour’, ‘yes, he was stone, stone dead’ and ‘I must scream or die’ so these quotes mentioning death that are all through the story give the story a real horror effect, and it also grips the reader and makes them feel more involved. Another word related to evil and the horror genre of this story and that is mentioned throughout the story is the talk of ‘terror’, Poe says ‘mortal terror’, ‘the terrors that distracted me’ and ‘uncontrollable terror’ so these quotes add to the effect that the story has on the reader. In the beginning of the story, Poe uses great descriptive language to describe the old mans eye. This helps influence the reader as it can help them to imagine the eye clearly and therefore make them feel more involved with the story and a bit sympathetic towards the murderer in the story. If the reader is involved with the story, then they will be able to feel the tension and suspense created throughout the story. First of all Poe starts by saying ‘it haunted me day and night’ then goes onto say ‘he had the eye of a vulture’ which really gives a good image as the reader should know what the vultures eye looks like†¦scary. Then he says ‘a pale blue eye, with a film over it’ so you can really imagine this pale blue vulture eye, with a dull glaze over it. He then describes how the eye makes him feel ‘whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold’ this is a great descriptive way of displaying to the reader how the eye makes him feel. The reader can really empathise with this sentence as they would have experienced this feeling themselves. So this makes the reader feel involved. So all these factors help the reader imagine this really disgusting eye. Poe talks about the murder in great detail, which really makes it sound like a gruesome death. He does not just say he jumped on the man and killed him; he described everything that happened, so the reader gets a good imaginative picture of what is happening. The fact that the murderer ‘smiled gaily’ is really quite sickening as he is rather enjoying murdering this poor man. He even describes the man dying ‘at length it ceased’ so he is talking about the sound of the man’s heart, slowly decreasing. When the man is finally dead, he describes him as ‘stone dead’ which is a vulgar way of putting it. The story is written in first person narrative by the main character, and throughout the story he refers to the reader, as if he is talking to the reader ‘you cannot imagine how stealthily’, ‘do you mark me well’, ‘will you say that I am mad?’ so he keeps referring to the reader as ‘you’, and asking the reader questions. This really involves the reader with the story, so again the reader is emotionally involved and really feels the suspense and tension built throughout the story. This is good and very effective as it allows Poe to talk of the murder in plenty of detail, and it also lets us know what the murderer is thinking and what his motive is for killing the man (the eye). The murderers feelings in this story is a vital factor as it lets us know how he has planned the murder, and also all the precautions he took leading up to the murder. It also allows Poe to describe the eye and get the reader to empathise with the murderer. I really enjoyed this story as I felt myself gripped and involved in it. So I could really feel the tension and the suspense, I was on the edge waiting for something to happen. I could really relate to the story and that’s why I felt involved, because I could imagine this poor old man scared in bed and hearing strange noises, which scares anybody if they are in bed all alone. So the story was really exciting and enjoyable to read.

Prostate Cancer A Common Type Of Cancer - 914 Words

Introduction Testicular cancer is a very common type of cancer found in men. I have decided to write my research paper on this subject, as it has affected one of my very close friends. I spent most a year learning about this disease from his detection, exams, treatment and ultimately, surgery. During and after his surgery I took on the role of being his primary caregiver, providing him with emotional and physical support. This cancer was extremely sudden and in the end caused various traumatic side effects. I experienced first-hand how the diagnoses for testicular cancer induced feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, frustration and guilt. However, after accepting the diagnoses and undergoing treatment and surgery, he has been able to†¦show more content†¦Usually, by the time the child is six months old, the testicle will come down on its own naturally. However, if the child’s testicle has not descended by age 1, surgery also known as â€Å"orchiopexy†, will need to be performed. Undescended testicles, even when corrected, are still a risk for testicular cancer. (Nall, 2016). â€Å"Around half of a man’s risk of developing testicular cancer comes from the genes he inherits from his parents† says Dr. Clare Turnbull, a senior researcher in genetics and epidemiology at the Institute of Cancer Research. Testicular cancer passed down through genetics come from many minor mutations in DNA code, rather than one faulty gene. Only about 10% of gene mutations that cause this cancer, have been discovered by scientists. Having a brother, father or uncle with testicular cancer increases the risk of developing it. (Russell, 2015). Most cases of testicular cancer are not linked to being HIV positive, however, men with HIV or AIDS have a 35-79% higher risk of developing it than the general population. Studies suggest that the reason for this increased risk is due to the weakened immune system of those men who are infected with HIV. Further study is needed to clarify why this infection causes an increased risk as there is not enough evidence that HIV/AIDS contributes directly to testicular cancer. (Cancer Research UK). Having a history of testicular cancer in one testicle increases the risk of eventually developing it in the other.

In previous years, many underclassmen ignore the blood drive completely because of their age and thus, their inability to donate blood.

Time Of Change Essay, Research Paper The sum of courage and bravery displayed by Beowulf in his battles with three different monsters surpasses that of most. Victories over his enemies demand monolithic power and strength, traits merely apparent in Beowulf. Each conflict appears similar to the others in that Beowulf succeeds in killing his enemy, yet differences exist between the three confrontations. Each of the three conflicts differs from one another in the readying taking in to the battle, the agencies of warfare, and its consequence on Beowulf. The readyings made by Beowulf before each of his conflicts includes different schemes and secret plans. In fixing for his first conflict, Beowulf lures the deplorable monster Grendel in to Hrothgar # 8217 ; s hall. In order to direct Grendel into a favourable location for the battle, Beowulf sacrifices a Geat soldier. A helpless, despairing soldier perished when, # 8220 ; Grendel snatched at the first Geat he came to, ripped him apart, cut his organic structure to spots with powerful jaws, drank the blood from his venas and bolted him down, custodies and pess # 8221 ; ( 739 ) . Prior to the clang, Beowulf calculated the importance of good contending evidences. This barbarous forfeit granted Beowulf a favourable location to assail Grendel. To fix for the conflict with Grendel # 8217 ; s female parent, Beowulf armored himself with concatenation mail and trudged out to the fen of Grendel # 8217 ; s female parent # 8217 ; s abode. He ventured to happen the # 8220 ; avaricious she-wolf who # 8217 ; vitamin D ruled those Waterss for half a hundred old ages # 8221 ; ( 1511 ) . Rather than leting Grendel # 8217 ; s female parent to seek for him, Beowulf splashed down into the H2O with fearful Geats looking on. Beowulf chose to assail Grendel # 8217 ; s female parent, opposed to leting her semen to him. A more aggressive attack gave him an early advantage in the battle. Old age crept up on Beowulf, the most experient warrior of all, yet he placed aside his age and pronounced he would conflict The Dragon, with his sights set on winning hoarded wealth. These lucks included those discovered at Sutton Hoo, which were # 8220 ; a helmet, gold coins # 8221 ; and # 8220 ; silver bowls # 8221 ; ( Sutton Hoo 34 ) . Beowulf # 8217 ; s bravery and heroism surface when he says, # 8220 ; I # 8217 ; ve neer known fright ; as a young person I fought in eternal conflicts. I am old, now, but I will contend once more, seek celebrity still, if the firedrake concealment in his tower darings to confront me # 8221 ; ( 2511 ) . Death seemed a likely possibility for Beowulf in the confrontation with The Dragon. This double presented him with three chief menaces. In the Anglo-Saxon work # 8220 ; The Seafarer # 8221 ; , the old crewman identified these three menaces when he says, # 8220 ; No adult male has of all time faced the morning certain which of Fate # 8217 ; s three menaces would fall: unwellness, or age, or an enemy # 8217 ; s blade, snaping the life from this psyche # 8221 ; ( Seafarer 68 ) . Knowing this conflict would be the toughest h e had of all time faced, Beowulf prepared himself with armour, a shield, and a blade. The challenge of The Dragon surpassed any other antecedently presented to Beowulf ; therefore arms and protection were necessary. Each battle affecting Beowulf saw him presented with different jobs and challenges, hence readying for these battles altered between each. The agencies and methods of warfare differ in the conflicts affecting Beowulf. In the battle with Grendel, Beowulf insisted on utilizing no arms other than his bare custodies. Beowulf # 8217 ; s outlook becomes apparent when he says, # 8220 ; This monster is a bold and celebrated combatant, but his claws and dentition rubing my shield, his gawky fists crushing at my blade blade, would be incapacitated. I will run into him with my custodies empty # 8221 ; ( 679 ) . Beowulf takes pride in winning just batt lupus erythematosuss. Using arms would, in his head, give him an unjust advantage against the man-eating animal, therefore doing a triumph dishonourable. The agencies of warfare in the clang between Beowulf and Grendel’s mother involved arms, instead than swerve power. Grendel’s female parent uses blades, and Beowulf uses concatenation mail and a helmet to protect himself. Beowulf â€Å"swung his blade, his ring-marked blade, directly at her caput ; so iron sang its fierce vocal, American ginseng Beowulf’s strength† ( 1543 ) . Battling Grendel’s female parent required much more protection than contending her boy, due to her huge strength and power. Even the sharpest and most lifelessly of Beowulf’s arms failed to perforate the fell of her cervix. The agencies of warfare used by The Dragon and Beowulf in their confrontation are blades, shields, armour and fire. Merely the Fe shield of Beowulf prevented him from early licking by The Dragon as à ¢â‚¬Å"flames round at the Fe shield† and so â€Å"it began to melt† ( 2570 ) . The blade of the baronial Wiglaf finally killed off the deadly firedrake, forestalling it from farther harming Beowulf. This blade did non deliver Beowulf, for he had suffered fatal blows, yet it inflicted retaliation on The Dragon who dared to mortally injure the greatest warrior of the Geats. Resulting from each one of Beowulf’s conflicts was at least one decease, but the difference of these deceases lies in the three different elements of warfare: sheer strength, blades, and fire. Through each conflict fought, Beowulf # 8217 ; s attitude alterations. Prior to the conflict with Grendel, Beowulf declares, # 8220 ; Grendel is no braver, no stronger than I am! I could kill him with my blade ; I shall non easy as it would be. # 8221 ; ( 677 ) . Beowulf asserts his place as the greatest combatant of the land. He believes no adult male or animal retains the ability to dispute his domination. Upon get awaying Grendel # 8217 ; s female parent with his life, Beowulf # 8217 ; s attitude of his laterality alterations. When describing to Hrothgar after his battle, Beowulf admits, # 8220 ; My life was about lost, contending for it, fighting under H2O: I # 8217 ; vitamin Ds have been dead at one time, and the battle finished, the she-devil winning, if our Father in Heaven had non helped me. # 8221 ; ( 1652 ) . Beowulf realizes he may hold met his equal, in the signifier of Grendel # 8217 ; s monstrous female parent. Furthermore, Beowulf becomes cognizant that he con tinues to populate non because of his accomplishment, but because of the grace of God. In the concluding minutes of Beowulf # 8217 ; s life, he reflects on the worthiness of his life. Through his concluding breaths he says to Wiglaf, # 8220 ; I sold my life for this hoarded wealth, and I sold it good # 8221 ; ( 2796 ) . Beowulf has realized his attempts and bravery impacted his people greatly. He believes his life has been lived to its fullest by contending for his people, and doing their lives better. A alteration in Beowulf # 8217 ; s attitude becomes clear after each conflict he fights. At first he sees himself as a warrior who defeats evil, yet at the terminal of his life, he views himself as a warrior who risked his life in hopes of breaking the lives of his fellow Geats. The sight of Beowulf emerging from a rough bash becomes common to Hrothgar and the Geats. Beowulf # 8217 ; s skill and contending technique are unparalleled throughout the lands. Beowulf succeeded in all of his conflicts, yet differences exist between each of the three. The readying for the conflicts, the agencies of warfare, and Beowulf # 8217 ; s attitude after contending a conflict are distinguishable and different than the other battles. Beowulf # 8217 ; s ability to set his readyings for conflict, agencies of warfare, and attitude for each battle, enabled him to liberate his people from fright and torture.
