Outward bound training is a kind of "outdoor experiential learning", which originated from western English outward bound training. This is a nautical term. When the ship first set out, it was a flag used to call the crew aboard, indicating that it was time for the ship to set out, and the crew would soon return to the ship and be ready to set out.
Literally, it is accepted by more and more people as a "ship at sea", while in the field of education, it is interpreted as a small boat, leaving the safe harbor and heading for the rough sea to meet unknown challenges when the storm comes.
194 1 year, Kurt Hahn, an advanced German educator, and Sir Lawrence Holt, a British shipping tycoon, established the world's first outward bound training school in Welsh Arabia. At first, this school had a specific task, which was to fill the hearts of young British sailors bombed by German submarines with strong self-reliance and mental toughness.
At the same time, we should get rid of traditional teaching methods. Kurt Hahn found that people can win self-confidence, self-esteem and self-reliance from a challenging and exciting environment, and they can also form a spirit of cooperation with their peers.
Because personality development is crucial to personal success, a set of courses, namely outward bound training, has been formed on this basis, thus becoming the real authority of post-war experience learning. This unconventional educational model was introduced to the United States by an American named Josh Manna in the 1960s.
Inspired by this novel concept and educational model, Manna launched an outward bound training campaign in the United States, whose basic principle is to learn from practice through challenging and thought-provoking experiences.
