‘This experience has changed me and my view:’ the learning experiences of urban youth in outdoor-focused sport-for-development programming
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines the learning experiences of urbanized immigrant youth who took part in an outdoor education component of a Sport-for-Development (SfD) program. Operated through an intersectoral partnership between the City of Toronto and the University of Toronto from 2017-2019, youth spent multiple weekends at the Hart House Farm, a University of Toronto-owned education facility located on the Niagara Escarpment. Drawing from participant-observation and focus group interviews, we analyze if, how, and why participation affected youth at personal, social, and political levels. The findings demonstrate how providing urban youth with access to the outdoors facilitated unique forms of learning based upon their newfound appreciation of the natural world. Not only did the trip teach them how to use outdoor leisure in support of their emotional wellbeing and personal growth, but it also fostered a more critical awareness of environmental justice and sustainability. Based upon these results, the authors call for further examination of how ‘outdoor-focused SfD programming’ can be marshalled to support more transformative forms of social learning and development in young people.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
