Summary/Abstract: Outdoor teaching is definitely not a product of nowadays. It has appeared in the school curriculum of several subjects for more than 100 years. The presented methodology does not primarily deal with the name origin of that teaching form, and thus we define it for the purposes of the presented publication as follows (Hofmann et al., 2003, p. 7; Svobodová et al., 2019): “Outdoor education can be defined as an “integrating” term denoting various forms of education with the outdoor setting of their common unifying feature. Outdoor education can take various organisational forms, from a walk, a field excursion or field exercise to a several-day school trip or residential outdoor school. Depending on the objectives and used teaching methods the pupils can be passive listeners and observers as well as researchers actively collecting and processing information from primary and secondary sources, with the help of research methods and aids offered by the individual science disciplines.“
