The JOEE exists to positively influence the development of outdoor and environmental education practice and theory.
The uniqueness of the JOEE is its ability to meet the needs of a wide cross section of readers, whether they be classroom teachers, academics, or practitioners in the field. The JOEE attempts to provide clear links between theory, research, and practice.
Therefore, our aims are to:
- enhance understanding of outdoor and environmental education issues;
- provide balanced and in‑depth investigation of outdoor and environmental
education practices and theories; - examine and present research which influences the practices of teachers and practitioners, as well as researchers;
- provide a forum in which outdoor and environmental education professionals
from all settings can exchange and discuss ideas relevant to their
practice; - keep readers abreast of current outdoor and environmental education research.
