Abstract
Although the school curriculum of the province of Québec, Canada, does not explicitly encourage teachers to provide outdoor learning experiences, it appears that there is a growing momentum for outdoor education. Thus, the research question that guided this study was: What are preschool, elementary, and secondary teachers’ outdoor education practices in the province of Québec, Canada? To answer this research question, we conducted a survey that collected quantitative data to describe teachers’ intentions, the places they use, the learning that is targeted, and the challenges. We used descriptive statistics to analyze the data. Our results show that school-based outdoor education can realize complementary learning intentions that cannot be met by using only classrooms, that outdoor education can be practiced in a variety of places, regardless of the settings in a school’s immediate surroundings, and that school-based outdoor education has the potential to decrease sedentary behaviours and increase students’ levels of physical activity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
