Abstract

To ensure the provision of high-quality outdoor teachers, the teacher education programs must offer relevant and practice-oriented content. As a first step in supporting the cascade from teacher educators to teacher education and ultimately to pupils in school, we conducted an initial survey examining the prevalence and quality of Education Outside the Classroom (EOtC) among teacher educators in Denmark (Barfod et el., 2024). In Denmark, the EOtC component of teacher education has been an elective course but should now be integrated in all subjects. Thus, what was once introduced to only a select group of students, it would now become more widespread But is this truly the case?
