Two weekly 50-minute classes are taught.<\/h6>\n<h6>Outdoor activities only are present obligatory from 12 to 16 years (secondary school).<\/h6>\n<h6>In general, the contents of these courses are:<\/h6>\n<h6>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Orienteering (basics notions)<\/h6>\n<h6>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hiking<\/h6>\n<h6>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Organization of events in environmental<\/h6>\n<h6>In addition the contents that are taught are conditioned by the knowledge and interests of the teacher. In my school years I didn\u00b4t do outdoor activities. We only had some kinds of orientation but within the school premises, we even went to the forest. \u00a0They even taught us the rules that apply to be in a natural environment.<\/h6>\n<h6>Therefore, there are many differences between Spain and Norway<\/h6>\n<h6>The <strong>Norwegian curriculum<\/strong> considered outdoor life as the main subject, because it is present in all the courses so explicit.<\/h6>\n<h6>The outdoor activities are a cultural phenomenon in Norway, it is known as \u201cFriluftsliv\u201d.<\/h6>\n<h6>This effectively corroborates the following sentence: \u201cthe Norwegian culture is of Norwegian nature\u201d.<\/h6>\n<h6>In the first years of school (after 4 year) they must know make and use simple maps for orientation in the local neighbourhood, feel safe in water and be able to swim or talk about rules that apply to being in a natural environment, for example.<\/h6>\n<h6>After 7 year they learn to use the compass, interpret maps or even first aid techniques.<\/h6>\n<h6>I think this is very important because they are learning to manage in the nature since childhood.<\/h6>\n<h6>In upper courses the contents are more complete, thus it is expected that Norwegian students at the end of their school years can participate in different outdoor activities and in different kind of weather. For example: camping, orienteering, swimming or ski and skate.<\/h6>\n<h6>It has struck me that before Vg1, Norwegian students have to practice outdoor life in different natural environments based on local traditions. This is wonderful. It\u00b4s a way of knowing the traditions and keep them so they are not lost over time.\u00a0 The knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation.<\/h6>\n<h6>The school teach the norms and rules of respect for the natural environment. I think this is essential to preserve the environment and to learn to enjoy it in a sustainable way.<\/h6>\n<h6>Maybe this is the reason why Norway has no laws that limit too outdoors activities. The majority knows and respects the rules.<\/h6>\n<h6>This is very different in Spain. There are many laws and prohibitions because nobody respects the environment. For example: It\u00b4s forbidden to make fire, camping or collect plants in the field. You need a license to do it.<\/h6>\n<h6>In conclusion, the Norwegian curriculum offers especially relevant to outdoor life and outdoor activities because Friluftsliv is a cultural phenomenon and a symbol of identity of this country.<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Give an summary presentation of how Outdoor education is described in the Norwegian curriculum and compare it with your home country GENERAL FRAMEWORK &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NORWAY YEARS OF SCHOOL MAIN SUBJECT AREAS 1-4 Physical activity in various environments and settings 5-7 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/trips\/fri-109\/norwegian-curriculum-compared-with-spanish-curriculum\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":332,"featured_media":0,"parent":335,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/160"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/332"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/160\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":340,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/160\/revisions\/340"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/home.uia.no\/nayara13\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
