CURSO 26/27 – ¿Qué es la escuela bosque? Descubre su enfoque educativo
La pedagogía Forest School (o escuela bosque) es un enfoque educativo innovador que utiliza la naturaleza y los entornos boscosos como el aula principal de aprendizaje y desarrollo integral.
¿En qué consiste?
A diferencia de la escuela tradicional, este modelo saca a los alumnos de las cuatro paredes del aula. Se basa en visitas regulares y prolongadas al bosque o espacios naturales, en lugar de una excursión puntual. Los niños aprenden mediante el juego libre, la exploración activa y la vivencia directa.
Características principales
- El niño en el centro: El alumno dirige su propio proceso de aprendizaje guiado por su curiosidad.
- Educador como facilitador: Los profesores no imponen lecciones rígidas; acompañan, observan y plantean retos seguros.
- Desarrollo holístico: Fomenta el crecimiento físico, emocional, social y cognitivo.
- Contacto continuo: Se desarrolla de forma regular (semanal o mensual) para crear un vínculo real entre el estudiante y el medio ambiente.
Beneficios clave
- Autonomía y confianza: Al enfrentarse a pequeños riesgos controlados y retos naturales, los niños ganan seguridad en sí mismos.
- Habilidades sociales: Favorece el trabajo en equipo, la empatía y la comunicación a través del juego compartido.
- Reducción del estrés: El entorno natural mejora la concentración, la calma y el bienestar general de los estudiantes.
La pedagogía de las Forest School (o escuelas en el bosque) no tiene un único inventor, sino que evoluciona a partir de pioneros en el norte de Europa y de las ideas de filósofos y pedagogos clásicos sobre la naturaleza.
Origen moderno en el norte de Europa
- Ella Flautau: En los años 50, esta pedagoga creó en Dinamarca uno de los primeros centros modernos basados en la educación infantil al aire libre y en entornos naturales.
- Influencia escandinava: El modelo se nutre del concepto nórdico friluftsliv (vida al aire libre) y de las escuelas al aire libre (udeskole).
- Expansión a Alemania y Reino Unido: En 1968 comenzó a extenderse el concepto de Waldkindergarten en Alemania (oficializado en 1993). En los años 90, el modelo llegó a Reino Unido, donde adoptó oficialmente el nombre de Forest School.
Raíces históricas y filosóficas
- Friedrich Fröbel: Creador del concepto de educación infantil en el siglo XIX, ya defendía que los niños debían desarrollarse mediante el juego y la exploración en contacto directo con la naturaleza. [1, 2]
- Pioneros históricos previos: Autores como Jean-Jacques Rousseau y Pestalozzi sentaron las bases filosóficas de aprender a través de la experiencia y el entorno natural. A principios del siglo XX, iniciativas como la Escura Bosc de Montjuïc en Barcelona (dirigida por Rosa Sensat en 1914) ya compartían esta misma corriente de enseñanza al aire libre.

Markhamia lutea, commonly known as #Musambya Tree is a fast-growing, evergreen tree native to East Africa, often growing 10–15m tall with bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. It is highly valued for durable, termite-resistant timber, firewood, and medicinal uses, including treatments for skin, stomach, and inflammatory issues.
We have scores of these trees at our #forestschool at Kasese Humanist School

I dag legede vi med vand i kulden. Vi lavede en lang vandbane med rør og tragter. Vi hoppede i vandpytter og lavede en is-rutsjebane. Vand er altid et hit blandt børn

🔥✨ Wishes, wonder & a little Forest School magic ✨🔥
Last week, our Forest School fire became something truly special. Each child carefully placed their pinecone into the flames, carrying a wish for the new year. As they burned, the different natural coatings transformed the fire into dancing colours – a beautiful reminder that every child’s hopes and ideas are unique.#earlyyears #eyfs #forestschool #outdoorlearning #reggioemilia #reggioapproach

Children in Northern Ireland spend too much time behind walls and screens, and it’s harming their health and wellbeing. Outdoor education is proven to make them happier, healthier, and more engaged. Other countries already do it - our children deserve the same.

From 2021: Guide to the Growing World of #NatureBasedLearning
“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach of us more than we can ever learn from books.”
John LubbockExcerpt: "Inspired by the Scandinavian embrace of #OutdoorLearning, the #ForestSchool movement migrated to the UK in the 1990s and has grown strongly ever since. In the US, the first nature-based preschool, the #NewCanaanNatureCenter, opened in 1967 in #Connecticut. The pace of nature-based preschools was gradual until, many say, after the publication of #RichardLouv’s #LastChildInTheWoods in 2005. Soon after, the growth of these schools went wild, experiencing a 25-fold increase over the past decade.
"Around the world, the forest school movement has also been growing strong. Whether you find forest schools in the UK, #BushKindys in #Australia, #waldkindergarten in #Germany or #MoriNoIe in #Japan, forest schools can be found in dozens of countries as parents and caretakers seek out the benefits of nature for their children, particularly for the early childhood years."

I talked about #neurodiversity in the context of outdoors education at last year's #ForestSchool Association conference, with Andy from Spectrum Gaming, Stefania Donzelli and Michael James.
It was a great discussion, I thought! My camera cut out after about half an hour, so here's a partial video. There's a link to the Forest School Podcast recording underneath.
