- Summary:
-
This research study used the Delphi technique to determine the ideal content of a college-level outdoor leadership course for land-based outdoor pursuits in the Pacific Northwest. Topics were generated and value-rated by 61 Pacific Northwest outdoor leaders using a Likert-type scale in three separate questionnaires. Thirty-five topics were retained in the ideal content, of which the top 10 were: (1) risk management plans; (2) judgement; (3) wilderness ethics; (4) first aid; (5) analyzing risks; (6) minimum impact practices; (7) outdoor leadership objectives; (8) hazard analysis for hypothermia; (9) backcountry first aid; and (10) minimum impact philosophy. An outdoor leadership course outline constructed from research results included philosophy of outdoor leadership, risk management, decision making, outdoor leadership methods, teaching principles, small group dynamics in the outdoors, environmental awareness skills, pre-trip planning, hazards analysis, and map reading and interpretation. Tables list final rankings and mean scores of the 35 consensus topics and the 23 topics rated least important. An appendix provides a copy of the third and final questionnaire with ratings for 176 topics. (LFL)
