Abstract

This study investigates how 7th-grade students engaged in mathematics education in outdoor learning environments and how these experiences influenced their perception of mathematics. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design and involved 21 students in the 7th-grade middle school. Structured interview forms, student diaries, and unstructured observation notes were used as data collection tools. The data collected was analyzed using content analysis, resulting in the identification of themes and codes. The study examined the students' expectations for the activities to be carried out in outdoor learning environments. They expressed the highest positive expectations about learning problem-solving techniques and study methods for mathematics. Additionally, the students expressed a desire to learn mathematics enjoyably, overcome their prejudices against mathematics, and understand its logic. Before the research, the students knew that mathematics is used in real-life situations, primarily in calculations and transactions. However, after the study, it was observed that students not only had their expectations met but also gained awareness of the more diverse applications of mathematics in real-life contexts. Additionally, a positive change was observed in their attitudes toward mathematics, and they gained the awareness that mathematics goes beyond being just a subject learned in school and has many real-life applications. Consequently, it was concluded that outdoor learning environments can contribute to mathematics education and positively influence students' perception of mathematics. These findings provide an important perspective for evaluating different learning environments and experiences in mathematics education. 

Keywords: Outdoor learning, math education, real life, metaphors.
