Background A recent dialogue in the field of play, learn, and teach outdoors (referred to as “PLaTO” hereafter) demonstrated the need for developing harmonized and consensus-based terminology, taxonomy, and ontology for PLaTO. This is important as the field evolves and diversifies in its approaches, contents, and contexts over time and in different countries, cultures, and settings. Within this paper, we report the systematic and iterative processes undertaken to achieve this objective, which has built on the creation of the global PLaTO-Network (PLaTO-Net). Methods This project comprised of four major methodological phases. First, a systematic scoping review was conducted to identify common terms and definitions used pertaining to PLaTO. Second, based on the results of the scoping review, a draft set of key terms, taxonomy, and ontology were developed, and shared with PLaTO members, who provided feedback via four rounds of consultation. Third, PLaTO terminology, taxonomy, and ontology were then finalized based on the feedback received from 50 international PLaTO member participants who responded to ≥ 3 rounds of the consultation survey and dialogue. Finally, efforts to share and disseminate project outcomes were made through different online platforms. Results This paper presents the final definitions and taxonomy of 31 PLaTO terms along with the PLaTO-Net ontology model. The model incorporates other relevant concepts in recognition that all the aspects of the model are interrelated and interconnected. The final terminology, taxonomy, and ontology are intended to be applicable to, and relevant for, all people encompassing various identities (e.g., age, gender, culture, ethnicity, ability). Conclusions This project contributes to advancing PLaTO-based research and facilitating intersectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration, with the long-term goal of fostering and strengthening PLaTO’s synergistic linkages with healthy living, environmental stewardship, climate action, and planetary health agendas. Notably, PLaTO terminology, taxonomy and ontology will continue to evolve, and PLaTO-Net is committed to advancing and periodically updating harmonized knowledge and understanding in the vast and interrelated areas of PLaTO.
The lesson study (LS) model, which originated in Japan, has become popular all over the world. This article will highlight some of the challenges encountered when the LS model was picked up and introduced in a local school context in a Norwegian municipality. The article views this process in the light of research on LS-model transfer into local contexts in various countries, and considers the impact modes of collaboration have on the implementation of a borrowed idea. The aim has been to reflect upon the challenges encountered in transforming a global idea into local practice. A four-stage composite-process model has provided the framework for this personal reflection: stage 1: cross-national attraction; stage 2: decision-making; stage 3: implementation; and stage 4: internalisation. The article argues that the LS model may undergo a transformation from an idea that is global, into a practice that is glocal.

Artikkelen rapporterer fra en oversiktsstudie av empirisk forskning på skolefaget kroppsøving i perioden 2010–2019. Hovedmålet er å kartlegge hvilke tema forskningen har belyst, samt om – og eventuelt hvordan – forskningstemaene er innrettet mot anvendelse i kroppsøving i grunnopplæringen. Analyse av 116 publikasjoner avdekket fire grupper av forskningstema: læring i faget, undervisning i faget, forskning om faget og andre forskningstema med relevans for kroppsøving. Studiene innenfor de tre første gruppene undersøker tema med innretning mot anvendelse i kroppsøving. Forskning på læring i faget har undersøkt læringsprosesser, motivasjonsforhold og fysisk utvikling, og teoretiske perspektiv innen psykologi og fysiologi dominerer. Forskning på undervisning i faget og om faget er tydelig innrettet mot anvendelse i praksisfeltet, og er oftest studert fra utdanningsvitenskapelige perspektiv. Studier innen andre forskningstema med relevans for kroppsøving undersøker andre samfunnsfenomen enn kroppsøvingsfaglige, og har svak innretning mot skolefaglig anvendelse. Oversiktsstudien viser at forskningen oftest er gjennomført med klare skiller mellom forskere og aktører i praksisfeltet. En overvekt av studiene har hentet data fra de øverste trinnene i grunnopplæringen, mens barnetrinnet i mindre grad er studert. Basert på resultatene anbefaler vi å stimulere til praksisorientert forskning i samspill med praksisfeltet, samt økt bevissthet om å inkludere forskningstema ut fra kunnskapsbehov på barnetrinnet.
