The Power of Play: Nature-Based Education in Play-Based Learning

Wonder. Excitement. Surprise. Joy. Love. These universal human experiences contribute to a fuller life on their own, but there is evidence that they also provide an impetus to deeper learning in the field of environmentalism. Combining classic environmental studies commentary from Aldo Leopold and Rachel Carson, with theories of play-based education, and direct observations from my own senior-level environmental ethics course at Bellarmine University, this presentation will seek to advocate for fostering a "sense of wonder" in undergraduate students
