ABSTRACT Teachers’ experiences and attitudes play a critical role in outdoor education. In this study, we aim to explore how 5th–10th-grade (10–15 years-old students) teachers use the natural environment in their teaching practices, with special attention to the link to sustainable development (SD). In total, 42 in-service teachers were invited to participate in the study. The data collection was based on the participating teachers’ individual written texts concerning their previous outdoor teaching practices, the link to SD and the related assessments. Based on content analysis, three main themes emerged from the data, including (1) teaching biology/ecology concepts, (2) exploring visible pollution and (3) applying a context- and inquiry-based approach. However, we found that outdoor teaching was scarcely linked to SD. The research results’ implications for outdoor education and teachers’ professional development are discussed in this paper.

5-10 年级在职教师的教学内容知识 (PCK) 促进户外环境的可持续发展

摘要教师的经验和态度在户外教育中起着至关重要的作用。在这项研究中，我们旨在探索 5 至 10 年级（10 至 15 岁的学生）教师如何在教学实践中使用自然环境，并特别关注与可持续发展 (SD) 的联系。共有42名在职教师受邀参与研究。数据收集是基于参与教师关于他们以前的户外教学实践、与可持续发展的链接和相关评估的个人书面文本。根据内容分析，数据中出现了三个主要主题，包括（1）教授生物学/生态学概念，（2）探索可见污染和（3）应用基于情境和探究的方法。然而，我们发现户外教学与 SD 几乎没有联系。
