Some have even argued that interviewing has become the central resource through which the social sciences&#x2014;and society&#x2014;engage with the issues that concern us&#x201D;Interviewing is a ubiquitous method used in Outdoor Education research. Indeed, when one looks at the principal American journals associated with Outdoor Education, one finds the following. In the last four issues of The Journal of Experiential Education (41(2), 41(3), 41(4), 42(1)), 10 of the 23 (43%) peer-reviewed articles used interviewing within their research design. ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734962">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/730/image/coversmall The Unnecessary Prescription of Transcription: The Promise of Audio-coding in Interview Research 2019-10-08 text/html en-US The Unnecessary Prescription of Transcription: The Promise of Audio-coding in Interview Research 2019-10-08 2019 TWO Project MUSE® 82684 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 2019-10-08 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734958 <p></p> Adolescence is a developmental stage when many young people struggle with self-confidence, self-concept, identity, and social development (Gilmore &#x26; Meersand, 2015). During this stage, peers play a major role in how these different aspects develop (Scholte &#x26; Van Aken, 2006). Outdoor adventure education (OAE) programs designed to serve adolescents are in a strategic position to help this developmental process because they often require students to interact in small cooperative groups for an extended period of time, occur in unfamiliar environments, and use challenge as a mechanism for growth. One outcome that is particularly important for adolescents is how they develop a sense of belonging with their peers and ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734962">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/730/image/coversmall Adolescent Sense of Belonging in Outdoor Adventure Education: The Influence of Conflict and Instructors 2019-10-08 text/html en-US Adolescent Sense of Belonging in Outdoor Adventure Education: The Influence of Conflict and Instructors 2019-10-08 2019 TWO Project MUSE® 79486 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 2019-10-08 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734959 <p></p> Outdoor education programs are often about building group cohesion. There are ample reasons to pursue that goal, as this article will address. Ropes courses and other discrete task-based programs have certain structures that are designed for team-building experiences. Others, like the 4-day canoe trip examined here, include more unstructured time and variables for group leaders to address. This study set out to better understand the relationship between leadership style and group cohesion. While past research has concluded that participants in outdoor education programs report a perception of greater group cohesion solely as a result of their participation (Glass &#x26; Benshoff, 2002), the literature does not address ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734962">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/730/image/coversmall The Relationship Between Leadership Style and Group Cohesion in Outdoor Education 2019-10-08 text/html en-US The Relationship Between Leadership Style and Group Cohesion in Outdoor Education 2019-10-08 2019 TWO Project MUSE® 92357 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 2019-10-08 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734960 <p></p> While nearly half of Americans participate in outdoor activities such as running or biking for health benefits, women, racial and ethnic minorities participate in much lower numbers than Caucasians (Johnson, Bowker, English, &#x26; Worthen, 1998; Lee, Scott, &#x26; Floyd, 2001; Manning, 1999; The Outdoor Foundation, 2017). For example, in 2016, 70% of Americans participating in outdoor recreational opportunities were Caucasian or identified as white/non-Hispanic (The Outdoor Foundation, 2017). African Americans and Hispanics experience the lowest participation rates in outdoor recreational activities, primarily because of a &#x201C;lack of interest&#x201D; (The Outdoor Foundation, 2016). While the number of Asian, African Americans, and ... <a href="https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734962">Read More</a> Project MUSE® https://muse.jhu.edu/ 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/730/image/coversmall Exploring Motivations and Constraints of Minority Participation: College Outdoor Adventure Programs 2019-10-08 text/html en-US Exploring Motivations and Constraints of Minority Participation: College Outdoor Adventure Programs 2019-10-08 2019 TWO Project MUSE® 88926 2026-05-12T00:00:00-05:00 2019-10-08 https://muse.jhu.edu/article/734961 <p></p> The follow-up to the well-received overview of outdoor education literature and research, Reconnecting Children Through Outdoor Education: A Research Summary (Foster &#x26; Linney, 2007), this contemporary synopsis provides a rich and illuminating examination of our current understanding of outdoor education.
