About Me
- Miss Fiona Karen Wood
- I have always had an interest in design. I am currently working on a three year PhD focused on exploring the influence of design in outdoor education on children’s early learning about sustainability. This research study is concerned with the exploration of children’s early learning experiences in outdoor education which are especially relevant to the notion of sustainability. This analysis explores the possibility of deeper underlying learning in outdoor education which would be appropriate to governmental concerns for confidence building, social learning and citizenship. The aim is to understand these deeper motivations and to design new activities and facilities which would support and extend learning in these areas without destroying the child’s enjoyment and play. This project is one of a small portfolio of design research studies from the Centre for the Study of Natural Design, University of Dundee (http://www.vrc.dundee.ac.uk/) on the theme of ‘Nature’s Academy’.
