Description

The objective of this paper is to identify the trends and issues of adventure education research to understand its educational significance at universities. First, we confirmed that adventure education is included in outdoor education. Then, we organized the indicators that distinguish general field education from adventure education into five categories based on the literature review of previous studies. We also provided an overview of the history of outdoor education and adventure education, traced their origins, and explored their underlying educational philosophies. Results indicate that the implementation of adventure education at universities has several educational effects such as an improved sense of belonging, self-efficacy, leadership, and group work skills. However, upon closer examination of the educational effects of adventure education, issues such as the failure to measure ongoing effects became evident. These issues are due to the fact that assessments are conducted only before and after implementation. The paper then organized adventure education models that are aimed at improving the quality of activities and that facilitate learning. Finally, we proposed a theory that explain the effectiveness of educational effects and confirmed that all models have certain strengths and limitations, and that they need to be used in combination.
