Student and teacher perceptions of the outdoor experience on traditional playgrounds: a case study Larrea, Inaki Imaz Recondo, Oihana MUELA, ALEXANDER Outdoor education Student perceptions Teacher perceptions Participation Playground Outdoor education fosters student well-being, development and learning. However, many schools restrict outdoor experience to their own playground, and to times considered recess. This case study, which examined student and teacher perceptions about the outdoor experience on traditional playgrounds, was conducted in an urban school in the Basque Country with an asphalt playground whose only resources were related to sports. We conducted five focal studies with 40 students, and administered a questionnaire to 78 teachers in Primary and Secondary Education. The results obtained made clear the dissatisfaction of both students and teachers with the use of the playground and with the opportunities it offered. However, they also identified areas for improvement and suggested future lines of work. It is essential to promote a dynamic of reflection on outdoor spaces that includes student participation as well as training teachers and raising their awareness. 2026-06-16T08:35:47Z 2026-06-16T08:35:47Z 2014-06 1472-9679 1754-0402 https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=170581 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/14565 eng Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ © Taylor & Francis Taylor & Francis Group
