Learning takes place in various spaces through human and nonhuman interactions. Considering the urgent need for rethinking how humans relate to nature, in this article we present a MA level course in the context of art, craft and design to discuss how learning with the natural environment approach can impact learning experiences. We introduce walking with nature as a creative method that fosters students’ ability to let the environment actively shape their creative events. The encounter with nature-based materials in their different forms and following the material's flow provides students with a foundation for their creative processes. This study proposes that walking can facilitate the entanglement between the student's knowledge and encountered materials, generating an emotional and dialogical relationship with the natural environment that contributes to a holistic learning experience. We propose that such an experience can help in comprehending the importance of the caring actions we need to take and maintain towards the nonhuman world.

与自然环境一起学习:与自然同行如何积极塑造创造力并促进整体学习

通过人类和非人类的互动,学习发生在不同的空间。考虑到重新思考人类与自然的关系的迫切需要,在本文中,我们提出了艺术、工艺和设计背景下的硕士课程,以讨论如何与自然环境一起学习方法会影响学习体验。我们将与大自然同行作为一种创造性方法,它可以培养学生让环境积极塑造他们的创造性活动的能力。接触不同形式的基于自然的材料并遵循材料的流动,为学生的创作过程奠定了基础。这项研究提出,步行可以促进学生的知识和遇到的材料之间的纠缠,与自然环境产生情感和对话关系,从而有助于整体学习体验。我们建议,这样的经历有助于理解我们需要对非人类世界采取和维持的关怀行动的重要性。
