Abstract

We examine the determinants that influence the frequency with which kindergarten and primary school teachers conduct outdoor teaching. Based on survey responses from 498 in-service kindergarten and primary school teachers from Luxembourg and Switzerland, we find that a variety of personal characteristics, teacher-job characteristics, school-variable attributes and school-fixed attributes are important determinants of outdoor teaching frequency. We provide policy-relevant suggestions designed to increase the frequency of outdoor teaching of teacher.
