NAMTA Journal 38/1 23 Nature Experience and Education

In The NAMTA Journal, Volume 38, Number 1, 2013, Winter

Pages: 237-241

Kevin Rathunde turns his research lens to the task of finding out the relevance of the natural world, its impact on adolescent motivation, and its positive sustaining of concentration and focus. He cites "disembodiment and denaturing" as needing to be countered by contact with nature, leading to higher creativity, less drudgery, and more positive social interaction for an adolescent community. [This talk was presented at the NAMTA conference titled "Science, History, and the Arts Through Nature's Keyhole," Atlanta, GA, January 26-29, 2006. Reprinted from "The NAMTA Journal" 31, 1 (2006, Winter): 117-127.]
