Abstract

This case study explored the tensions of using digital technology alongside an outdoor, sensory approach to learning (Sakr, 2020; Hughes, 2011); the effects on student learning; and the willingness to change practices. It was conducted at the University of South Wales, working with 24 early years (EY) undergraduates, and explored how both students and tutor blended digital technology with ‘outdoor learning’ approaches. It considered how this approach could support a holistic curriculum in 21st-century EY practice.
