Abstract

In addition to being an outdoor sport, orienteering can also be considered as a way of learning. In this context, the opinions of teachers who have experience in orienteering are important. Therefore, the research aimed to examine the opinions of teachers working in basic education, secondary education and high school regarding the use of orienteering in education. The aim of this study was to examine teachers’ views about the use of orienteering in education. For this purpose, a phenomenological research method was used. The study group of the research consisted of 81 teachers selected by convenience sampling and criterion sampling techniques. A semi-structured questionnaire, metaphors and field notes were used as data collection tools. The data were subjected to thematic analysis. As a result of the analysis of the data, it was concluded that orienteering can be used as an educational purpose and tool at all levels of education, especially the primary education level. As a matter of fact, it has been concluded that orienteering can provide very effective outcomes in all areas of development at all ages. As a result of the data analysis, it was concluded that orienteering can be used in the context of a goal and a tool in the education process.
