| dc.description.abstract | <p>This chapter explores the metaphor of Christian educators as under-shepherds who both protect and nurture their students. Using current research, it identifies how learning in a garden setting nurtures students’ physical, intellectual, and social-emotional wellbeing.</p> <p>Although spiritual benefits of outdoor learning are alluded to in the literature, there is limited empirical evidence to support a link between outdoor learning environments and spiritual questing. Based on responses gathered from students in a Christian primary school, this chapter presents a case study of how one school garden program helped shape children’s perceptions of God and Jesus as Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer.</p> | |
