My Outdoor IQ

About My Outdoor IQ

This app is NOT a scientific tool, nor a test of any kind and it does not claim to be a scientific analysis, so what is it? All too often when kids are asked what they learned they are not sure when actually, they learned heaps.

This app:
- Promotes the importance of metacognitive processes and self-evaluation
- Allows a child to take first steps or develop their understanding of some key terms in mental and skills development
- Allows the child to understand the huge variety of what they will do (before the camp starts) and to know at the end that they did everything they set out to do
- Allows a child to feel a sense of pride in what they perceive themselves to have achieved, both in terms of perceived value added and the amount of stuff they did on the camp which is not part of their everyday life
- Gives feedback to a school or trip leader about the impact of outdoor education and adds evidence to the benefits of the outdoor education experience to the cohort and the individuals therein.
- allows students, teachers and camp leaders to see how a cohort perceived their improvements in the outdoor education experience.
