Abstract:
This paper documents and discusses the walking interview method as it was used to explore how outdoor educators sense of place informed their professional practice in the Port Hills of Christchurch, New Zealand. Eight participants who were working as outdoor educators in the primary, secondary or tertiary education sector in Christchurch, and who spent time in the Port Hills both as part of their teaching practice, as well as in their personal lives, were interviewed.
