  2. 1. Friluftsliv in Swedish Physical Education – a Struggle of Values : Educational and Sociological Perspectives

    Author : Erik Backman; Håkan Larsson; Johan Arnegård; John Evans; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Friluftsliv; Physical Education; PETE; PE teacher student; PE teacher educator; curriculum; Bourdieu; Bernstein; Education; Pedagogik; utbildningsvetenskap med inriktning mot praktiska kunskapstraditioner; Educational Sciences in Arts and Professions; Samhällsvetenskap Humaniora;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to examine some of the educational and sociological conditions underlying the production of teaching in friluftsliv within the Physical Education (PE) subject in Swedish compulsory school. Despite the value awarded to the Scandinavian outdoor practice friluftsliv, in both the national PE curriculum document and in Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) in Sweden, it does not seem to be thoroughly implemented in compulsory school teaching.

    Abstract : The effects of greenhouse gas net emissions on global warming, stricter legislation on waste handling, and the pursuit of ever cheaper heat- and power production are all important factors driving the introduction of complex fuels in incineration plants. However - without fundamental knowledge regarding ash transformation, corrosion control, and materials selection – this introduction of potentially economically and environmentally beneficial fuels, might instead cause economic loss and environmentally adverse effects.

  6. 4. Becoming-place : (Re)conceptualising friluftsliv in the Swedish physical education and health curriculum

    Author : Jonas Mikaels; Suzanne Lundvalll; Erik Backman; Chris Loynes; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; relational materialism; place; curriculum; friluftsliv; Deleuze; Samhällsvetenskap Humaniora; Social Sciences Humanities;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to critically examine taken for granted assumptions underpinning friluftsliv and outdoor education as a learning area in the curriculum, and to explore the educational potential of a place-responsive pedagogy. A growing body of critical research in outdoor studies suggest that there has been a discursive shift away from an activity-based personal and social development discourse, in favour of more critical awareness in outdoor education research.
