A group of educational psychologists wants to investigate how participating in weekly 'Forest School' outdoor sessions (such as woodland shelter-building, fire-lighting, and collaborative obstacle-courses) affects the self-esteem and resilience of adolescents. They plan to use a self-report questionnaire with open questions, asking the students to describe the outdoor challenges they faced and explain in detail how these activities influenced their confidence and interactions with their peers.
