Avhandlingens övergripande syfte är att bidra med kunskap om det meningsskapande som sker i pedagogiska möten med naturen i olika utbildningspraktiker. Empirin i avhandlingen består av texter i form av skolans läroplaner, filmad undervisningspraktik från I Ur & Skur-skolor, Naturskolor, friluftsinriktade folkhögskolor samt idrottslärarutbildningens friluftspraktik. Avhandlingen består av fyra delarbeten som tar utgångspunkt i ett pragmatiskt perspektiv på meningsskapande, inspirerat av John Dewey och Ludwig Wittgenstein.

I alle disse sammenhengene er det et stort behov for kunnskap og opplæring. Et formål med dette temanummeret er derfor å styrke friluftsliv som forskningsfelt, samt å kople friluftslivet enda sterkere til utdanningsfeltet.
