Contextualizing learning in Primary and Secondary schools using natural resources

Export citation

New approaches to the contextualisation of teaching and learning using environmental experiences offer encouraging options to improve educational relevance. Natural resource management practices can be used as media for contextualisation and enable learners to cope more effectively with general subject matter, whilst contributing to the skills formation process at the same time. Examples from different parts of the world show that teachers can use natural resources as a learning aid in various subjects and topics as this provides real life examples from the local environment and gives a practical touch to theory. Recommendations are suggested relating to contextualisation using natural resources.
