Managing Time in Classroom and During Outdoor Education, at Core Procurement C3ycle

Abstract

Time is one of the most important aspects, when it comes to education, because in most of the situations, teachers find it difficult to adjust it to the multiple chores that have to be done. This has also become a problem, because children have got so busy regarding their schedule, that it has become almost impossible to engage in other activities than those that are educational: learning, homework and extra studying. There is no time left for socializing, playing or just hanging around and discovering the world. The present brief study, presents an introduction of the theoretical frame regarding the management of time in educational organizations, and a research about how core procurement cycle teachers from Arad County Romania, manage time during outdoor educational activities. There were 30 teachers in the study, and the preliminary results show that most of them find it difficult to manage time dedicated to learning during school hours, indoor and outdoor, and they tend to give too much homework, never letting enough time for pupils to socialize and to develop besides study time. There are also some conclusions and ideas on what teachers can do, in order to have better time management, using outdoor learning activities.
